that's not even the name of the song. The song is called ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and so is the movie.

The counter-culture revolution of the late 1960's had just kicked into full gear. The song was Lennon's response to such attitudes - mainly that they weren't going to change the world, and that those who supported the movement actually had the same self-centered drawbacks of those they opposed.
its a matter of tasts, both bands are great, one isn't better than the other, I guess the Beatles were the first to do so many things, there influence is probably greater than queens.The Beatles r the Best band in the world. they were definitely most loved by the world.
Their first recording as the Beatles was in 1961, as Tony Sheridan's backing band for Germany's Polydor Records. Prior to that, they had made some home tapes with a borrowed recorder, and done one session at a home studio in Liverpool, where they covered Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day". (Some of these later appeared on The Beatles Anthology.)
During the 50's and the very early 60's, everyone was following the same sort of way of life in Great Britain. It had all been based around artists like Little Richard and Elvis Presley, but when artists like the Beatles came along with their completely different way of dressing and their very radical haircuts (not to mention their music which was very much like their haircuts), people just started buying their records by the millions. The reason for this was because the Beatles were different and the people wanted change, so one-by-one all the Elvis fans became Beatles fans and so on. Before anyone could grasp what was going on, the whole country was listening to them (And there is a similar story to the Rolling Stones as well). And that is why they had such a huge impact on the world. They were extremely popular, for lack of a better explanation. The fervor over The Beatles was unlike any band since them. Why were they popular? They made good music. The individual members of the band had interesting personalities which made them icons, and the songwriting ability of The Beatles is immense. The Rolling Stones were sort of the badass alternative to The Beatles (where most of The Beatles' earlier songs were pop songs, The Stones were considered hard rock at the time). Both bands spoke to a generation that was extremely pissed off at authority due to the war in Vietnam, civil rights, etc. And finally, both bands appealed to the drug culture that was increasingly prevalent in the 60's.
The song "Yesterday" written by Paul McCartney originally performed by The Beatles is the most covered song according to Guiness Book Of World Records.
