The Beatles Play the Residents and the Residents Play the Beatles is a 1977 single by the Residents. The A-side, "Beyond the Valley of a Day in the Life", is a collage of Beatles recordings, with a looped clip of a Beatles Christmas record in which Paul McCartney says "Please everybody, if we haven't done everything we could have done we tried."
The B-side, "Flying", is a cover of the Beatles song, selected because it was the only song to be credited to all four Beatles. At one point, one of the Residents quotes the clip from the McCartney interview used on the A-side and laughs maniacally.
The single, particularly the B-side, reflects the Residents' boredom with pop music and their tendency to perform deconstructionist covers, perhaps shown most notably on their album The Third Reich 'N' Roll.
