The Beatles famously won over America not only with their music, but their wit. Here's a coupla classics, from different press conferences over the sort number of years they toured:
Press: Does it bother you that you can't hear what you sing during concerts?
John: No, we don't mind. We've got the records at home.
Press: Beethoven figures in one of your songs. What do you think of Beethoven?
Ringo: I love him. Especially his poems.
Press: What will you do when Beatlemania subsides?
John: Count the money.
Press: How do you stand in the draft?
John: About five feet, eleven inches.
Press: The French have not made up their minds about the Beatles. What do you think of them?
John: Oh, we like the Beatles. They're gear.
Press: What about this campaign in Detroit to stamp out the Beatles?
Paul: We're starting a campaign to stamp out Detroit. (Which they did)
Press: What do you think you've contributed to the musical field?
Ringo: Records.
Press: Why are your speaking voices different from your singing voices?
George: We don't have a musical background.
Press: Why is it that you Ringo get more fan mail than the others?
Ringo: I dunno. I suppose it's because more people write me.
