ALL YOU NEED IS CASH

After years of hard bargaining and many a court trial, the Beatles back catalogue is available for hire. Adverts, film soundtracks and TV shows will now be able to pay through the nose for some of the best songs ever written, played and sung. I don’t really care, I have all their albums anyway. However, what was funny about this Time’s article was how they envisaged various media mogules would use some of the songs. Here’s the best ones:
