Can you guess these Beatles songs in under 1 second?

You may think you know The Beatles, but can you correctly identify their songs in less than one second?! Today, I'm testing my abilities to name Beatles songs after hearing just a 2 second clip, a 1 second clip and finally a ½ second clip! Let me know in the comments if you beat my score!
You can stream my EP "The Longest March" at Spotify: sptfy.com/davidbennett

LOL. This brings back memories. Back in my partying days, we'd all get together on weekends for parties where we would have constant music playing from a library of maybe a hundred or two different albums from a wide variety of artists/bands. Every once in a while, someone would decide to put on a particular song on a particular album. This was back in vinyl days, so that would require aiming the tonearm at the appropriate "gap" on the record. Depending on the person's level of sobriety at the time, this was not always precise. They would slightly miss the "gap" and then immediately pick up the tonearm and, then, land it right where it should be. That would produce a momentary blast of the wrong song for about a half second but it was enough for almost all of us to recognize the song and the album and there would be a chorus of "oh no's" from those of us who knew what was coming and didn't want to listen. It just blew the minds of those newer to our regular group that we could recognize the song from nothing more than a momentary burst of "noise." "How can you do that?" they would say. "I can't believe you can do that!" LOL.

Once we got there she was more excited so she had us kids wait while she went to a liquor store to cash a check and then bought us all tickets to go in to see the show! You could barely make out what songs they were playing for all the screaming and yelling that was going on. They were on a stage on one side of the ball field and there was a big tent behind it with a banner on it that said The Beatles. I could see David Crosby (of The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash fame) on the field in front of the stage. Once in a while fans would attempt to scale the fence and get onto the field and run toward the stage. Police would chase them down and escort them off. My friend's Mom would yell Run! Run! She was so excited. Even our parents were influenced by that band. When they finished playing they went into the tent and a limo drove out of it and tried to leave the stadium, but there we so many wild fans they didn't get far and had to drive back in and the band disappeared into one of the dugouts.

Very good for a young man to know the Beatles that well - I was 9 when they came to New York and grew up with them

[@fishyarmy9850]

I’ve heard tell me why so many times that I just instantly recognized it, fun quiz!

[@Xman0220]

It was actually really cool you mixed Fixing a Hole up with Getting Better - I also think of them as sort of being grouped together because they’re right after one another in Sgt Pepper. Might not sound too similar but it’s definitely a reasonable mixup. As an added bonus I think that sense builds from listening to the album in order, so good on you for listening to it the right way :)

[@twistysnacks]

I actually mixed those two up at first as well, but figured it out that it was Fixing a Hole by singing it in my head real fast lol

[@karenmakocyphilbrick7466]

@@twistysnacks I had to sing most of them in my head to get to the titles.

[@Swampson7043]

The correct order to listening to Sgt Pepper is to not listen to Sgt Pepper

[@jedgould5531]

Another producer might have made Paul decide between the two.

[@D.A.OhK.]

He actually got it right at first, because he had the right lyrics. Like he said, he didn't take his time and sing the lyrics far enough in.

[@jtoddbrown]

There’s actually no bass guitar on “Julia.” Lennon had recently learned to fingerpick, and he used the technique on both “Julia” and “Dear Prudence.” What you’re heading as bass on “Julia” is the bass strings of Lennon’s acoustic guitar (which is double tracked to somewhat odd effect).

[@frankfrank7921]

Lennon knew how to fingerpick, it's just that Donovan taught him a new technique while they were in India.

[@sweetpotatocavy717]

Yes he tuned the bass string down a whole step to D natural and used the same odd fingerpicking for Julia as he did dear prudence

[@RayRay-zt7bj]

Ahh, interesting. That explains my mistake of guessing Julia when the answer was actually Dear Prudence. Then, I completely missed Julia when it came down to the 1/2 second notes, LOL.

[@didierchadeau]

Julia is not in drop D

[@jtoddbrown]

@@didierchadeau Right - both "Dear Prudence" and "Julia" are fingerpicked, but only "Dear Prudence" is in drop D.

I was disgusted with myself - as a self confessed Beatles anorak, I didn't get Lucy in The Sky With Diamonds, Here comes The Sun or Tell Me Why.

It really says a lot that the most recognisable aspect of so many of these tracks is the drums. Score: 15/15 (omg i have never concentrated this hard on anything)

[@HansMaxiBricks]

Yeah sure you got em all, haha..lmao

[@UnshavenStatue]

I think specifying "the drum solo from the medley" more than qualifies as a correct answer. The fact of also getting the "track" name right too is just icing on the cake.

[@richo8767]

I got Yesterday, Here There and Everywhere, Something, Lucy in the Sky, Tell me why, and the Abbey Road medley right away, and fully in agreement about the solo on Let It Be because I am mostly familiar with the other version. Honestly, some of those songs I have never heard as I am not quite the Beatles fanatic that David is.

[@joetowers4804]

I got "Tell Me Why" because it just started playing in my head. I heard to those three first albums over and over when I was around 13 because I only had those LPs...in vinyl...I´m old...

[@samsowden]

that drum fill is engraved on my brain, knew straight away

[@Tyler_Mills26]

When it first started playing I was going "can't buy me love" then thought hang on a sec what you on about you nutter right album wrong song haha then I remembered it's my ringtone xxx

This one is easier than most because it’s the opening of the song.

My man just correctly guessed a Beatles song based on half a second of audio of just 2 kick drum hits… forget all the ones you got wrong, THAT was impressive in itself.

[@secretchief700]

That was one of the easiest, there's not that many Beatles tunes where you can only hear drums

[@alvaboy4982]

That one was the easiest 0.5 second clip tbh

[@Mastigophoros]

​@@secretchief700 I thought it was "Everybody's got something to hide" from the White Album... But wait, does that also have a hand clap?

[@uliuchu4318]

The perfect 0.5s candidate would've been the start of "i feel fine" (or just the feedback in the 5th second)

[@Ryan-wr8fx]

Or the pause of silence on "Don't let me down"
