Family Guy Sun. Oct. 3rd
The guys go into a record store called "All Sales Are Vinyl"
There is a (drawing) poster on the wall that says The Beatles and 1967 drawings of Paul and John.
They start talking about the beginnings of different groups and it segues into stories where Peter & his friends play the members of the groups. The first story is about the Doors. The friend playing Ray Manzarek introduces his girlfriend "Yoko O-yes"
She tells them she will always be respectful and never come to their recording sessions and sit on their amps.
At the end, Peter says, "Well, I can't think of a better way to end our visit than by remembering the four lads who started a band in 1962 and changed the world forever."
At the same time:
Quagmire: "John, Paul, George & Ringo!"
Peter: "Steve, Dal, Bob & Robin!"
Quagmire: "Who?"
Peter: "The Trashmen!"
Cut to The Trashmen singing "Everybody's heard about the bird..." (the song is a running gag on the show)

The Family Guy episode was season 20, episode 2 and called Rock Hard. You can watch it on your FOX NOW app after signing in with your TV provider password.
