I love all the stuff that nobody notices:
1. How George & Paul got away with singing 'tit' in the background of the song Girl 2. How you can hear a creaking door in Yesterday 3. How you can hear Mal Evans counting the beats in the piano solo of A Day In The Life 4. How you can hear John swearing in Hey Jude [= But I love the other stuff too, like: 1. The way John sounds when he sings: "Is there anybody going to listen to my story/ all about the girl who came to stay" in Girl 2. How on the Anthology Paul says that Rocky Raccoon was actually 'sminking of gin' 3. How John can write a song in less than 5 seconds about Paul breaking a glass 4. The harp opening in She's Leaving Home 5. George's simple little solo in And I Love Her, when I compare it with the stuff he did in later years 6. The first few words..'I read the news today oh boy' & the feeling in them 7. The fact that Martha My Dear was about Paul's shaggy dog [= 8. Those quietly cryptic lyrics; ' I look from the wings, of the plane you are staging while my guitar gently weeps, as I'm sitting here, doing nothing but aging, still my guitar gently weeps'

Lot's of little things. The drumbeat in Helter Skelter. The scream from Paul in Revoltion. Ringo's drumroll in She Loves You. The amazing (and only decent part of the song) bridge in Something. The back-up harmonies in Help!. John's hypnotic vocals in Tommorow Never Knows. The main riff of In My Life.

There's a lot of things that I'm not thinking of right now, but off the top of my head:
~ In "Nowhere Man" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", the key change/harmony change of the last repetition of the chorus (I know I'm probably not describing that well or right)
~ The "la la la" part of the background vocals in "Nowhere Man"
~ In the song "Magical Mystery Tour" at the end of the instrumental break before the last "roll up" section... the drums alternating with the horns, and then the "aaaahhhhh" and the drums after that.
~ The "and it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong..." part of Fixing a Hole.
~ John's "aaaahhhh" at the end of Paul's part in a "A Day in the Life" and how it suits the lyric "and I went into a dream..."
~ The three drums beats leading into the chorus of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"
