A legendary British rock band from Liverpool, active from 1960 to 1970, consisting of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Considered one of the most influential bands in popular music history.
The band name combines 'beat' (musical rhythm) with 'beetles' (insects), creating a pun that references both their musical style and the insect. The spelling change from 'beetles' to 'beatles' emphasized the musical connection while maintaining the insect reference.
