{{Q|He is an egg-colt! They are the egg-colts! He is a STALLION! Choo-choo ska-doo!|Gameloft description for "[[Guitarist Pony]]", a reference to the song, "{{W|I Am the Walrus}}"|My Little Pony (Gameloft)}}
'''The Beatles''' were a famous rock band that flourished throughout the [[1960s]]. Their most iconic line-ups, and indeed, perhaps one of the most iconic line-ups in music history, was {{W|John Lennon}}, {{W|Paul McCartney}}, {{W|Ringo Starr}} and {{W|George Harrison}}, with each individual musician being an influential and famous musician in their own right. Though traditionally labeled as a [[rock and roll]] band, they dabbled in several genres and styles, such as Indian music and perhaps most famous, psychedelic and hard rock.
 
The song "{{W|Helter Skelter (song)|Helter Skelter}}" is sometimes considered to be the birth of [[heavy metal]] music, or at least an influence in the early proto-Metal era.
 
They have been referenced on several occasions throughout ''[[My Little Pony]]'' and ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' with the unnamed [[Traveling Band]] being a direct parody of them and the place of [[Pepperland]] being a reference to their album, ''{{W|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band}}'' and film ''{{W|The Yellow Submarine (film)|The Yellow Submarine}}''.

==Trivia==
* {{W|Ringo Starr}} is the only member of the iconic Beatles' line up to not appear in the show. Instead, his role is replaced with Pinkie Pie, however, a [[Ringo|CHS student does look similar to Ringo]]. However, he is a guitarist and not a drummer.
