The Beatles. This group had lots of references in the later seasons.
The Beatles were a rock/pop group that had its popularity in the U.S. in 1963 to 1970. In the later seasons of Arthur, references to The Beatles were made.
The references are:
- I Wanna Hold Your Hand: The song of the same name.
- Buster Baxter and the Letter from the Sea: "Do Octopuses have gardens?" A reference to "Octopus's Garden."
- In My Africa: A clear reference to The Beatles' album, Abbey Road. Brain's cousin Shake is possibly a reference to the character of the same name in the Beatles' film "A Hard Day's Night."
- Muffy and the Big Bad Blog: The name of Francine's and Muffy's jointly owned blog is called "She Said, She Said." This is the title of a song from the album Revolver.
- The Agent Of Change: Binky mentions a character from the movie "Trucks" named "Rita the Meter Maid." This is a reference to the song "Lovely Rita," a song off of the album called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

- Arthur, It's Only Rock and Roll: Whenever Francine, Fern, and Binky are chased by the preschoolers, they had a music chase sequence, in the style of "A Hard Day's Night."

- In the episode "The Secret Origin of Supernova," a model of a yellow submarine is seen on a shelf in Freddie K's store. This could be referencing the song (and movie) "Yellow Submarine."
