If that last chord takes up almost the entire piano and lasts for what feels like several minutes, then I think it might be A Day in the Life. Otherwise it might be harder

[JayForeman]

12/15. I thought Nowhere Man was Don’t Let Me Down, I thought I’ve Got a Feeling was Dig a Pony, and I thought Rocky Raccoon was something from the White Album??”.

[rome]

I was feeling confident after I knew "In My Life" immediately. But it was all downhill from there. I got "Oh Darling, " and that was it.

[lenin]

I got 8. In almost every song I started singing the next song in the album trying to remember the song before it 😂

[shipsahoy]

This was a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be after #1 !!

I have a Beatles Challenge for you: from only a short snippet of each song, guess whether it's The Beatles or The Rutles.

[brandbird]

This was, at least for me, by far the hardest of these. I did alright, not great, on the others, but I barely got any on this. I love that you're doing these.

[gorgolyt]

It's amazing how many of these outros are unique in some way. Lots of the details I never really noticed before. Whether it's Ringo playing some strange drum fill or someone plucking an arpeggio on the strings of a piano. It really shows you how the Beatles were really overflowing with creative ideas, stuffing every moment of their songs with something interesting.

This was really hard! Props to whoever managed this!

[johnyarusso]

As a Beatles fan for 59 years I must say this was difficult but I got 11 out of 15.

[scabbarae]

I got "Oh! Darling" right away because my brain was anticipating the opening lick of "Octopus's Garden" right afterward.

[dimitrisilva]

15/15
"I Saw Her Standing There" and "With A Little Help From My Friends" almost got me.

[Green_Phosphorus]

14/15. I guessed The End instead of Something. Listening back to both of them, they do have a pretty similar ending, which I never realized before. As people are pointing out, the strategy of imagining what song comes next was pretty helpful.

[oscarallen]

it really goes to show how great the George & the lads’ arranging skills were…organs and strings sneak in throughout the song in such an organic and subtle way that when you just hear the last chord it’s surprising

[matthewbartlett]

10/15
1. Instantly recognizable
2. Thought it was strawberry fields because that song also has a ridiculous ending
3. Thought this was the beginning to "She came in through..." so I guessed Polythene Pam but I really should've known it
4. Haven't listened to this one enough, I guessed She's Leaving Home
5. Took a while but got it because of the distinct vocal part
6. That french horn is iconic to me
7. nearly impossible to miss
8. Got it because of Ringo's drum fill
9. So sad about this one. I thought it was The End when it all slows down and swells up with the orchestra
10. Got this one quickly, one of my favorite Beatles songs
11. Ashamed to say haven't listened to the white album in full including this song so I guessed Love me do
12. Always recognize that chord because it feels cut off weirdly early
13. love that dissonant organ sound, instantly recognizable
14. Thank you!
15. the vocal harmonies in this song are perfection, Beatles really know how to "ooh"

I also lost count of my score as I was doing so poorly: 7/15. I started hearing the "next song" in my mind, and this helped me get a few of them (as we all know the album sequencing so well). Also interesting how you could sometimes know the album sound production. I immediately knew the "rooftop" sound but guessed the wrong song! Also discerned the Sgt. Pepper sound and guessed the wrong song. Great video/quiz. Please keep them coming.

[frafrafrafrafra]

This was definitely the hardest quiz you've done, I only got 4/15

[michaelcolarossi]

Dude - that was one hell of a difficult quiz! Thanks so much for coming up with this very creative idea! I got 6 (I think)

[mikem]

Tough but so enjoyable! Many thanks David and I always enjoy.

[OttoByOgraffey]

David, I really, really, enjoy your videos. You're so knowledgeable, and I just really appreciate you and your channel. Long live Paul, and Ringo!
