Meet the Beatles!
In the group's early days, many rumors circulated about its membership. As the cover art of "Meet the Residents" was a parody of The Beatles' 1964 North American release, "Meet the Beatles!", rumors circulated that The Residents were actually The Beatles, even specifically naming George Harrison. Many other rumors have come and gone over the years, one being that '60s experimental band Cromagnon shared members with the band. Les Claypool, frontman of rock band Primus, and Gerald Casale of new wave band Devo claimed to have been accused of being members of the band; and Mark Mothersbaugh is alleged to have played keyboards during the band's 13th-anniversary tour.
