Brian Epstein had negotiated a one-hour
television special starring The Beatles,
to be made by London-based ITV
company Rediffusion. To be titled
Around The Beatles, the show was
filmed on 28 April 1964, but rehearsals
and recording began on this day.
Mystery Fire Razes School At Notasulga (Georgia)
A mysterious pre-dawn fire destroyed the
recently desegregated Macon County High School
at Notasulga. State fire marshals
were called in to investigate the blaze.
Local officials refused to speculate
on whether the fire was the work of arsonists.

- Who Put The Bomp (In The Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)
How would you describe these songs? Would you use the word "silly" or would you use "whimsical"? Would another word describe them better?
Silly or whimsical, they're part of our musical history. We might not have understood the reason for the made up words, other than the fun of it, but we liked them. We listened to them, purchased them and put them on the charts.
