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:

I know - I was posting the original group's song, which is what they play whenever Peter does this running gag. They just do audio, no video.
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.
I found this on YouTube: (previous gags)

It is a shame we were not on the show although how well we might have done on other questions is up for debate -lol. Sadly, this is a reflection on the fact that Paul's non-Beatle music is not well known to the general public. We also need to remember the song is almost 50 years old and might have come out before these contestants were born.
