Let's spread some musical misinformation

Indeed. Jaco used 4, but he only needed 1.

When you are playing your bass, your bass is also playing you.

Paul McCartney was a frustrated drummer and Ringo was a frustrated elevator operator.

hence his little known cameo as one on Are You Being Served. It took several takes to stop him saying "peace and love"

All the good songs on Double Fantasy were written by Yoko.

I see what you did there - implied disinformation suggesting there were some good songs.

Lennon was a huge Carry On fan, hence selecting Jack Douglas to produce Double Fantasy. The Carry On franchise later immortalised the Beatles in 'Carry On Suing Each Other', in which Stig. er George, ends up suing himself by accident, with hilarious results.

Lennon (real name Ivan Lenin, son of a Russian sailor who stopped off in Liverpool in WW2), faked his own death, and for many years ran a chip shop in Bootle with Elvis and Buddy Holly, all tired of music and their wives.

In fact all the Beatles had Russian sailor fathers and their real names were Ivan Lennin, Pavel Cartneski, Grigory Harrisonovich, and Richard Starsky.

I meant Richard Starkey.

Stig of the Ruttles had a tough upbringing, what with living in a dump, before he joined the Ruttles. Later he found fame driving cars very fast, of course, until Clarkson let him go. He now lives in a dump again (Slough).

A form of the double bluff.

I said all the Beatles, but I meant in the 1962-70 period. Pete Best's real name was Wurst, his father being a German paratrooper from Hamburg who landed in Walmington-on-Sea in 1940, which is why they ended up playing in Hamburg around 1960, as they stopped in his dad's rather cramped cellar.

On Rush day - a holiday in Canada - radio stations are required to play either 2112 or Hemispheres in it's entirety. At noon, everyone stands and sings YYZ.

The American standard tuning is slightly off by European standards, due to them (still) not using the metric system.

In fairness, both the British and the French changed tuning standards several times in an effort to reign in the rogue colonies. As well, it is well understood that the Germans encrypted tunings using Enigma from1939-1945.

In said period Germany was off pitch by at least a full step.

I recently got a Schroedinger Wave Tuner. Before I plug in to it, I am either in tune or not, depending on if I'm using the Austrian or Irish citizenship model. I'm too scared to even try to use it.
