The Beatles appeared at the 1963 Royal Command Performance (an early kind of "by request" show, where stars performed their big hits), with members of the Royal Family in attendance, and other wealthy and titled people. The program was also televised throughout Britain.

The unabashed John Lennon, nominal Beatles leader, had threatened privately to tell the VIPs in attendance to "rattle their ****in' jewelry" instead of clapping, in the hearing of the ordinary Britishers who would see the show. A softened (and better-timed) version of the comment, with Lennon training his eyes comically on the Royal Box, got a positive reception all around, as the band went into their closing song, "Twist And Shout".
