The article is the result of research carried out in the specialized literature on the famous group from Liverpool and presents an analysis of the Beatles' songs from a new perspective, which emphasizes the sexual connotation, not always evident, but sometimes explicit, that the composers of the musical band insinuated in the lyrics produced. In addition, it points out the relationship of members of the group with the consumption of drugs considered illicit, which appears explicitly or implicitly in some of their compositions. On the other hand, the article emphasizes that some links made in the past between lyrics and hallucinogenic substances lack basis, or meaning. It also shows some of the unsuspected links between disparate disciplines, such as cryptography, mathematics, biology and some of the concepts and ideas discussed or posed by members of the most appreciated, heard and studied musical group of the century.
Keywords: Beatles. Sexual connotation of the lyrics. Connection with science.
