1. The White Album's title isn't really "The White Album": If you ever look at The White Album, you can instantly tell that there's something unique about it - it's plain with nothing special on it; unless you look close enough. Towards the bottom of the album cover, you can see that 2 words "The Beatles", and do you know why they're there? Yes, obviously The Beatles made the album but that's actually the titled of the album.
2. The song 'Yellow Submarine' is located on 2 separate Beatles albums: This one fact has always been confusing to me because why would they put the same Beatles song on 2 albums. Out of a ll my Beatles song knowledge I have, this is the only song that I can think of that is on 2 separate Beatles albums several years apart. Yes, 2 years isn't that long away but it's just a little surprising. It's located on 1966's 'Revolver' and 1968's 'Yellow Submarine'.
3. Paul McCartney and George Harrison went to school together: Some people think that The Beatles all knew each other before they ever joined with each other to make the band, which isn't the case at all. The only 2 Beatles that knew each other before the making of The Beatles were Paul McCartney and George Harrison. They both went to the same elementary school together (George was in a grade below Paul) and they actually took the same bus together. This is how after Paul met John, was able to persuade him to listen to George's playing and then kicked off the start of something amazing.
4. Ringo didn't play the drums for 2 (technically 3) Beatles songs: Ringo quit the band in 1968 (before rejoining back that same year) during the same time production of 'The White Album' was going on. This meant that they had to have a replacement for the drum parts for the 2 songs that he missed. Paul jumped in and played the drum parts for both 'Dear Prudence' and 'Back in the U.S.S.R'. Only 2 Beatles played on the song 'A Ballad of John and Yoko' having Paul taking on the drumming part once again.
