As I’m sure you’ve heard, the Beatles masturbated together. The fact is with us now and will be with us forever from this moment on. In the future we will think of this not immediately upon hearing the Beatles (the first thought will remain “this song is a Beatles song”), but close to it (“this song is a Beatles song — they masturbated together”). Paul McCartney revealed the anecdote (handecdote) in a GQ profile published this week, saying, in part, “We were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did.”
The reliably horrible New York Post seized on this story today for an, admittedly, terrific headline: “BEAT THE MEATLES.” Writer Emily Gould tweeted a great point, and a great idea, regarding this great headline.
Yes, it’s true. Many tweeted Beatles masturbation puns in response:
Amazing. Of course, we at the Cut also want to write Beatles masturbation puns, and so we have. Here are the ones we could “come” (semen come) up with this afternoon, some admittedly better than others and many not “puns” by the strict definition of pun but instead parentheticals added onto song titles in order to make them dirty.
