Another British act hit the Super Bowl following Sir Paul McCartney’s performance in 2005. The Rolling Stones played three of their hits, “Start Me Up,” “Rough Justice,” and “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” The band wasn’t too pleased that two of their songs were censored, including one of the lines from “Start Me Up,” though no one could censor 62-year-old Mick Jagger’s epic dance moves on a stage that was literally the band’s logo.

This beloved music mockumentary purportedly follows two days in the life of The Beatles as they prepare for an upcoming television performance and try to keep Paul McCartney’s grandfather (Wilfrid Brambell) out of trouble.
