"WHAT DID IT, EH WHAT DID IT DO TO YOU? YOU SEEM TO BE IN A...."
"I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST LIKE FOUR BOYS. I REALLY LIKED THEM. THEY WERE GOOD. THEY WERE REALLY GREAT GUYS. IT DIDN'T REALLY HIT ME. AND THEN YOU SEE THEM STANDING THEE, SINGING AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY DID. THEY JUST CHANGED
YOU. THEY'RE NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE. THEY'RE JUST SO MUCH BETTER. AND YOU SEE THEM ON STAGE, AND THEY, AND THEY, OOH....LIKE IT'S, LIKE IT'S, THEY'RE JUST LIKE THEY'RE MEANT FOR YOU, FOR YOU AND NO ONE ELSE. IT SEEMS SO PERSONAL BUT YET IT'S JUST FOR EVERYBODY."
"DID YOU EVER, DID YOU EVER EXPECT THE CONCERT TO DO THIS TO YOU?"
"OH NO, I CAME HERE TO SAY I'M NOT GONNA SCREAM, I'M NOT GONNA CRY, I'M NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING. SO HERE I AM CRYING. AND THE THING IS, I TOUCHED PAUL THE OTHER DAY. AND I THOUGHT WELL, THAT'S NOT GONNA BE NOTHING. I TOUCHED PAUL McCARTNEY, AND NOW THAT I'VE TOUCHED HIM, I CAN'T TOUCH HIM AGAIN, EVER AGAIN... NEVER. I GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH."
"DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA ADD?"
"I, I JUST THINK THEY'RE THE...OOH...THE MOST WONDERFUL PERSONS I'VE EVER MET IN MY WHOLE LIFE. I JUST LOVE 'EM."
BEATLEMANIA. BUT WHAT IS BEATLEMANIA? MANIA BY DEFINITION MEANS CRAZE. WE FOUND A LABEL, BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOTTLE. IN HAMBURG, GERMANY WHERE THE EARLY BEATLES STARTED, YOUNGSTERS WHO DIDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND ENGLISH FELT BEATLEMANIA. BEATLEMANIA IS IN FACT A TEMPORARY STATE OF MIND WHICH CAN ONLY BE ACCURATELY DESCRIBED BY THE ONE WHO IS UNDER ITS INFLUENCE. THERE ARE MANY REASONS FOR BEATLEMANIA.

I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND
By John Lennon and Paul McCartney

OH YEAH, I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING,
I THINK YOU'LL UNDERSTAND.
WHEN I SAY THAT SOMETHING,
I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND,
I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND,
I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND.
OH, PLEASE, SAY TO ME,
YOU'LL LET ME BE YOUR MAN.
AND PLEASE, SAY TO ME,
YOU'LL LET ME HOLD YOUR HAND,
NOW LET ME HOLD YOUR HAND,
I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND.
AND WHEN I TOUCH YOU I FEEL HAPPY INSIDE.
