Nothing in particular up our dress today but in hour two we do celebrate the release of the Beatle's entire catalog on itunes. To celebrate, we actually play an alternate version or maybe it's more accurate to call it a parody/shadowed version a Beatles' album. It's a bizarre take on a classic musical work. Can you guess what it is? Marvels await.
