BG: Beatles Party

Can anyone advise me on a Beatles themed party? I was going to do four bards, but it seems a little generic. If you could assign classes for the fab-four which would you choose?

Also, if I make a custom sound set do you know of any lyrics that would work for various actions? "little piggies" has some potential: "what they needs a damned good whacking" could replace "time for a bit of a rough and tumble".

    The problem with an all-Bard group is that BG assumes you are using a somewhat balanced group (with at least one warrior, one thief and one healer). Mages are useful though not essential (and be warned that this changes completely in BG2, where you'll have a very hard time without at least one of them).

    I can't see any of the Beatles as a Warrior or Cleric, to be honest. But if I had to shoehorn them into a balanced party, I'd make...

    - George the Druid or Cleric - he's the one who had a penchant for the spiritual.

    - John the Wild Mage or Transmuter - he is the eggman, he is the walrus, and I guess you could consider him the intelectual one. Plus, he had a familiar in real life (that's Yoko).

    - Paul the Half-Elf Beastmaster - a goody-goody guy who loves animals - he doesn't eat them - and has an affinity with certain plants, if you know what I mean.

    - Ringo the Halfling Thief - because he's always in the background or hardly being seen.

    Now that I think of it, Ringo kinda does look like a Halfling.

    I'd go with 4 Mages. Magical Mystery Tour Styley.

    John and Paul Human, George Elf and thanks to @Kilivitz I can't see Ringo as anything other than Halfling now.

    I will have it known Ringo is my favourite though. @Kilivitz - he's the main character of the excellent films!

    @Stinky I like him too and in fact, I think he's underrated as a drummer. I'll take Ringo (and Charlie Watts, for that matter) over virtuosos like John Bonham and Mike Portnoy any day of the week.

    @kilivitz oh man you're cracking me up. Great ideas! Ringo can dual wield clubs!
