I saw Cirque Du Soleil's Love while in Vegas last week (my first ever visit to the city). So this thread is well timed as far as I'm concerned. The show seemed quite trippy and eccentric, even to this Englishman, however you can't question the incredible quality of the Beatles music. This is a demo of one of my favourites;
This song always triggers an emotional response for me.
Dokken doing "Nowhere Man" back when Don could still sing.

Despite not being much of a Beatles fan, I also enjoyed that show a lot.
Here's a tip for anyone that wants to see it- get tickets in the front row of the balcony. Because of the unusual layout of the theater, the front row of the balcony are better seats than the more expensive ones on the floor.
Don't judge me.
"She could steal, but she could not rob"
"She Came In Through the Bathroom Window" is a song written by Paul McCartney (although credited to Lennon–McCartney) and performed by the Beatles on their album Abbey Road as the fifth song of the Abbey Road medley.
McCartney said the song was inspired by Apple scruffs (dedicated fans who hung around outside the Abbey Road studio and the homes of the Beatles), who broke into McCartney's St John's Wood home. Jessica Samuels, one of the group, says: "We were bored, he was out and so we decided to pay him a visit. We found a ladder in his garden and stuck it up at the bathroom window which he'd left slightly open. I was the one who climbed up and got in." She then opened the front door to let the others in, and they raided his wardrobe for a pair of trousers, which they took turns wearing. The scruffs also stole a number of photographs. Another Apple scruff, Margo Bird, remembers being good friends with McCartney – she would often take his dog for walks – and later got a job at Apple Corps. She says that she was asked to retrieve a certain photograph, which she did.
In the 2006 DVD documentary The Classic Artists Series: The Moody Blues (DVD UK, released October 2006), Mike Pinder, the former keyboard player of Birmingham R&B band The Moody Blues, states that the inspiration for the song actually rests with an incident that happened to them — a groupie climbing into an open bathroom window in the band's home and spending the night with band member Ray Thomas. The next day, Pinder and Thomas recounted the story to McCartney, who — guitar in hand — strummed and sang "She came in through the bathroom window..."

Great fucking tune, and one of their many songs with double meanings.

No less an authority than Frank Sinatra called this the greatest love song ever written.
