** ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'''s arch-nemesis, Doctor Eggman, found his namesake in "I Am The Walrus", and [[https://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090925135428/sonic/images/a/aa/Robotnik_43.png his original design]] almost makes him look like one (if you have trouble seeing it, his mustache represents the whiskers and the yellow triangles from his cape represent the tusks).

** A weird CoverVersion double example is that the band Ambrosia managed to just barely make the ''Billboard'' Top 40 (#39) with "Magical Mystery Tour" in 1976, which was taken from the soundtrack of ''All This and World War II'', an odd documentary that set UsefulNotes/WorldWarII footage to covers of Beatles songs.

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: It wasn't looking good for "Strawberry Fields Forever" making it to record at first. They had recorded two versions, in a different key and tempo, but while promising neither was quite the sound they were hoping for. At John Lennon's request to join both versions in some way or another, George Martin together with Geoff Emerick took on the task by using multiple speed adjustments and other effects to make an 'acceptable' edit of the takes. According to Martin, the edit "sticks out like a sore thumb to me!"[[note]]There are actually two edits right after the first verse; The first version didn't have a chorus between verse one and verse two, so Martin spliced in "Let me take you down 'cause I'm--" from a later chorus in that version, then "--going to" marks where the second version takes over[[/note]]

* NoExportForYou: Because of the poor reception of the film in the UK, none of the American networks were interested in airing it, FirstRunSyndication wasn't really a viable option at the time, and running less than an hour, it wasn't really a candidate for a theatrical run. There was a special screening at the Fillmore East in New York in 1968, and some one-off American screenings in the next few years, but its first proper availability to the American public was when Creator/NewLineCinema released it to the midnight movie and college movie circuits in 1974.
