When The Beatles recorded “Hey Jude,” they didn’t notice that an expletive had accidentally been caught on tape. You can still faintly hear Paul McCartney mutter a curse word around the 2:58 mark after making a mistake. Instead of re-recording, they left it in! The band was also so influential that their 1964 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show drew 73 million viewers, changing music history overnight.
