You could take ANY line from this "classic" song ... and it would be GREAT for this list! I like "newspaper taxi's, appear on the shore" ...

AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE WHO HAS ALL THE RIGHTS TO THE BEATLES CLASSIC TUNES..TAKE A GUESS..SAY SAY SAY..THAT'S A HINT HE COLLABERATED WITH HIM ON THAT TUNE..NOW MUST WE SAY ..MICHEAL JACKSON..

since Michael is dead, Paul will be getting the rights to the songs back, in a recent interview after Michael died, he said the worse feeling in the world was playing a Beatles song in concert and having pay someone else for a song that HE wrote. He regretted ever selling the Beatles Catalog to Jackson in the first place, While Jacksons Music was excellent, he had no clue what to do with the Beatles music.
And uhm, how is Panic at the disco copying them?
Wowza.
awww
this one?
i mean all beatles are phenomenal, but there are others out there...i think this list is more of a popularity contest than it is based on the actual intelligence and emotion of a song. but what do i know? im just a silly 14 year old who loves her beatles
=]
I love this song, and I love the Beatles, but I'm not sure I'd pick this as their best opening lyric.
Hmm...maybe Across the Universe?
"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup"
wow, jim! where've you been? seriously. great artists and their work stand the test of time. my parents listened to the beatles in their day and the mere fact that i, as a 15 year old, can pick up their records and enjoy the music proves that the beatles must've been onto something. they're geniuses...end of story!

(Sarah Connor was there, too)
Have a nice time over there....
