This Beatles medley from 1980s Australian TV is quite the watch
With The Beatles back in the news as they release their ‘final song’ (let’s see about that), Twitter account Australian Kitsch have marked the occasion by posting a video from an Australian 1980s daytime TV show featuring a medley of The Fab Four’s greatest hits.
It’s really quite demented, but also strangely captivating.
See what you think. It’s split into 3 parts, which we post below…

Sheesh from Maxwell to all you need is Love – who thought that was a good idea?

Well I WAS going to use my time machine to kill Hitler, but I think preventing this from ever happening is a higher priority.

We can’t argue with this assessment.
We have just been altered to this Australian Beatles *thing* and it really has to be seen and heard to be believed. https://t.co/JULdmDtu8x

Perhaps that medley should have been Side 2 of Abbey Road?
