Most Famous Zebra Crossing


Oh, the irony.
The Abbey Road cover was just an easy way to have a cover without trying too much, and somehow it became the most recognized and imitated images in the culture and music world.

There are countless parodies for this one, and I selected a few. There's also a video of U2, famous for being huge Beatles fans, doing their thing in the very same place.

Researching for this post, I discovered two neat little things: The first was that Abbey Road studios got their current name after this album made it famous for it's location and association with the band.
The second thing was a surprisingly interesting article called "Walking in Music and Dance". The Beatles' walk is mentioned there as a famous walk, one of many, including Michael Jackson's Moon Walk and Nancy Sinatra's boots. Read it - It's fun!
