Övrigt:
  1. Ni vet Paris Hilton ? De har en världs - känd hotell kedja i en katalog om deras hotell fanns de bilder på vilka som bott vid deras hotell. Där fanns då en bild på John och Yoko när de hade sitt bed-in vid Hilton Amsterdam
  2. Conan Obriean eller hur de nu stavas brukar ibland spela "A Hard Days Night" instrumentalt i bakgrunden med blåsinstrument.
  3. På TV4 gick förut en TV-reklam om någon bil tror de var en Golf - modell där var en Instant Karma cover som musik.
  4. I Alla älskar Raymond eller va de heter de är iallafall en amerikansk serie. Skulle dom gå på en Ringo konsert och hela avsnittet handlade om det. I Slutet fick man se en Ringo i "dagens utseende" och de var någon skådespelare som föreställde honom.
