This quiz is a little different from the previous quizzes. I hope you enjoy it! 
Which Beatles song is John talking about in these quotes?
1. "It started out as a bus journey from my house at 250 Menlove Avenue to town, mentioning all the places I could recall. I wrote it all down and it was boring. So I forgot about it and laid back and these lyrics started coming to me about friends and lovers of the past."
2. "That is Paul's song, of course, and Paul's baby. Well done. Beautiful - and I never wished I had written it."
3. "That's me, including the guitar lick with the first feedback ever recorded."
4. "Most people think it's just a fast rock 'n roll song. I didn't realize it at the time; I just wrote the song because I was commissioned to write it for the movie. But later, I knew I really was crying out for help."
5. "I was lying on the sofa in our house, listening to Yoko play Beethoven's 'Moonlight Sonata' on the piano. Suddenly, I said, 'Can you play those chords backward?'"
6. "We recorded the song twice. The Beatles were getting really tense with one another. I did the slow version and I wanted it out as a single: as a statement of the Beatles' position on Vietnam and the Beatles' position on revolution."
7. "The bank was there, and that was where the tram sheds were and people waiting and the inspector stood there, the fire engines were down there. It was just reliving childhood."
8. "I'd imagined in my head that in the background you would hear thousands of monks chanting. That was impractical, of course, and we did something different."
9. "I threw in the line 'The walrus was Paul' just to confuse everybody a bit more. It could've been the fox terrier is Paul, you know. I mean, it's just a bit of poetry."
10. "I couldn't sleep, I'm meditating all day and couldn't sleep at night."
