the parakeets

Years ago, I had four pet parakeets. They enjoyed listening to the radio, and would occasionally chirp along with the music. However, when a Beatles song came on, they'd engage in flights of full-fledged, full-throated, frenzied singing.
I've often wondered why The Beatles had this effect on them, and how they were able to differentiate The Beatles from other artists.
