"A Beatles Medley"
This is pretty funny/cute. It's a bunch of Liverpudlians Londoners (mostly elderly), on the street, singing various Beatles songs, strung together with some musical backing added. From the "James Paul McCartney" TV Special Broadcast: April 16th 1973.

Very sweet. Hate to be Mr Picky but I don't think the people are liverpudlians(you can also see london buses going past in the background)

This montage of ordinary British folk singing Beatles tunes was put together for a Paul McCartney TV special. It’s utterly charming, as the people in it look like they’re really having fun. Although they obviously sang the songs a capella during the filming, a backing orchestra lamely tries to play along with them, and this just adds to the humor. A fun little blip of Beatles ephemera.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: ***. Weirdness: ***. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
