Hmmm, your husband doesn't know much about the Beatles apparently!

It is true that very early on in their career they did a few covers, but most of their songs were written by John, Paul, and George. Also they stopped touring quite early on in their career and concentrated instead on writing music and producing albums.

Also, they were not a "studio band put together by global investors"!! They were a gigging band long before they were signed to a contact (with the exception of Ringo).

Man, it's not as if their story has not been very well documented over the years!!

(I wonder if he got them confused with the Monkees??)
