You know, the close caption even says "quoting lyrics" when they do those lines. Which is actually a little annoying, but still.
I bet the Beatles would be, you know, classical music for them 500 years in the future. Classical music combined with classical poetry that everyone studied in school or something and can reel off when it's appropriate. I mean, what better phrase to say "turn on the gorram crybaby signal and save us!" than a cool piece of classical music? I thought it worked wonderfully well. I admit it took my a moment to place the song, as it had been years since I'd heard it, but I knew it was a song.

A while back and this was a while back, I read that in 'Trash' orginally Mal and Saffron were supposed to steal a Beatles album (may have been Revolver). But the rights to show it on screen were too expensive so Joss and co went with stealing a laser gun.
I've never seen this confirmed by Joss and Tim but I would love to know if it was true.

Yeah, thus Wash's reply to Mal...

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Me too!!! That would have been way cooler than a laser gun that doesn't work. Yet another way the studio system screwed over the greatest scifi show ever.

I admit I didn't get the reference, but i'm gonna to go find that song.
Love the idea of the priceless Beatles album as an Earth-That-Was artefact, that would have been great and might even have enticed my dad to watch the show lol!

How many songs do we all know that were composed over 200 years ago? You'd be surprised. Little bits of classical music are still very well known today, even if we just know how the tune goes rather than the name of the symphony or who composed it.
I'm not going to compare The Beatles to Mozart or Beethoven, but I think its highly possible that a Beatles song could be known to lots of people that far into the future.

It's on the white album. One of the essential recordings of rock and roll.
