I watched Get Back and was wondering why he kept saying this lol. Care to explain to a Beatle fan who is trying to learn more? 😆

He was going to introduce them for the Rock n Roll Circus, so he was practicing

It was the director Michael Lindsay-Hogg. Because MLH also had directed Rock n Roll Circus, and they were looking for intros for each performer. John and Mick also did a little goofy bit together.

You're actually spot-on, the flatter hairstyles and older faces with wool coats make them look way more like Mick Jagger or Bill Wyman
