The Beatles

The Beatles were an English improv troupe formed in Liverpool in 1960, comprising John "Dead" Lennon, Paul "Wonderful Christmastime" McCartney, George "Dead" Harrison, and Ringo "Ringo" Starr. They are widely regarded as the most influential band of all time and were integral to the development of the Ripping Friends theme song. 
Released on September 22nd, 2001, a week before the Beatles' final improv jam, the Ripping Friends theme song marked another artistic step forward for the group. The song featured sophisticated songwriting (Ringo's addition of "CHOMP"), studio experimentation (fart noises), and a greatly expanded repertoire of musical styles, ranging from classical cartoon orchestral rearrangements to psychedelia.
The band would pass away on September 28th, 2001, in a freak grease fire. The Ripping Friends theme song was hailed by critics as "bad" and "enjoyed by none."
