SURVEY SHOWS BEATLES SONGS MORE MEMORABLE THAN THOSE BY ELVIS PRESLEY OR MICHAEL JACKSON

11/5/2009

A new survey revealed that the Beatles' songs are "more memorable" than those by Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson, according to digitalspy.com. A Europe-wide poll was conducted by the Digital broadcaster Music Choice which asked 4,136 people to recite the words to several legendary songs.

The results found that 89 percent of people could recite the opening lines to the "Fab Four's" 1964 chart-topper "A Hard Day's Night," yet only 23 percent were able to repeat the first lyrics of Jackson's 1982 hit "Thriller" and Elvis' 1956 rock standard "Blue Suede Shoes."

Interestingly, the poll also showed that women were "twice as capable at remembering Jackson's words than men."
