The Songs They Gave Away Part 1

Not every Lennon and McCartney tune made its way onto a Beatles record, but that didn’t mean they had to hide away gathering dust, only to be released on some future 20-disc rarities box set. The greatest songwriting duo in history also kicked some of their work over to other artists making their names in the 60s—Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Cilla Black, the Fourmost, some scrappy Londoners calling themselves the Rolling Stones, etc.—and this week T.J. and Tony share some of their four-fab faves the Beatles gave away. And maybe also a couple of tossers.

While they’re at it, they also made some time to:

• Record a pilot episode for the Untitled TV Guide Podcast*
• Play a game of "Bob Gaudio, James Guercio, or Joe Guercio?" 
• And reveal their long-guarded secret that Tony and T.J. were, in fact, Chad, Jeremy, Peter, Gordon, Jan, AND Dean.

Buckle up! It's gonna be a two parter.
