The Beatles themselves anticipated this with the Butcher Cover.

She loves your, brains, brains, brains
She loves your, brains, brains, brains
And with a brain like that
You know you should be glad.

Ah, the things newfangled running zombies make possible...

"You know what this feels like? Happiness"

It doesn't matter how much I was expecting that, it was still damn clever.

A bit on the nose don't you think?

There was a time before my brain knew the Internet, but I can't remember.

And I don't want to.

Actually, the Zombies did challenge the Beatles for a little while in the '60s...

Artw, running zombies aren't really that new-fangled - there's the occasional quickie in George Romero's old films, even.

...there's also the fact that the Beatles in that guise had not yet created songs like "Happiness is a Warm Gun". It'd be much more amusing to see late Beatles doing the same thing.

Zombie Ed made it worthwhile... the rest, not so much....

Blue Meanies Vs Beatles (SLYT)

Very puny. Anyone else but the Beatles, would be rather 'meh'.

I came looking for Rod Argent.

How many times... how many times... It was stumbling down a hill at the beginning of Night! And those kids in Day at the airfield... it was a sloping floor! Or it was the internal pressure of that tiny cupboard expelled them out. Or something. Anyway zombies don't run!

"Anyway zombies don't run!" I just called Zack, he said you're wrong...

Running Zombies - non-canon
Runny Zombies - canon.

I was actually expecting those Zombies. I'm kind of disappointed.

Good grief those accents wander all over the British Isles without ever actually managing to sound scouse...
