Yeah, I heard that years later. When I was a kid I thought he meant “hung up” (not literally) like the expression of the day. Maybe you didn’t have that expression in the U.K.

I think "hung up" is an American expression myself. Of course we used "hung up" with reference to telephones. As in, "I phoned the office manager but he hung up on me".

@njr Nancy, I'm going to jump on to this thread.... but it won't be about mentions on TV.... I like an occasional bet on the horses..... and it is amazing how many horses in Australia are named after Beatles' references.... My good mate had a horse called Dig a Pony.... did well. Heaps of Beatles references to horses.
So, I'll reference the "Beatles" horses and let you know how they go..... A horse called "Real Love",,,, won.

This being said, I do run the risk of being admonished by some who don't like horse racing....

@toris That’s cool - I used to own a gelding sorrel quarterhorse named Jonathan Sport (he had papers) that I called Sport. This was 1992/1993. If I could afford a horse now, I’d give them a Beatles-reference name!
P.S. I love horse racing! Watched the Kentucky Derby. Was really into it when Secretariat won the Triple Crown. -
