"A Fab Announcement", initially titled "The End - The Beatles: Rock Band" before being renamed, is a high quality announcement for the album SiIvaGunner's Lonely Rips Club Band.

Content[]

The video begins by playing "The End" by The Beatles while showing the image used for rips of The Beatles: Rock Band. Clips of the vocals of "Space Jam" are then arranged to "The End"'s intro, as pictures of Charles Barkley's face are superimposed over the Beatles members and the title is changed to read "The SLAM!tles: Rock JAMd", tying into the SLAM!turday that had occurred the day prior to the video's release. "Space Jam"'s instrumental is then briefly mashed up with "The End" before the video is cut off, accompanied by a record scratch. Following this, the intro of The Beatles animated series plays, with the jingle's melody changed to "Meet the Flintstones", and the video shows an animation of a slightly edited version of a scene from the Beatles film A Hard Day's Night in the style of the animated series, but with Paul's grandfather dressed in Grand Dad's attire and many words, mostly instances of "grand" and "father", replaced with clips of Joel's reaction to 7 GRAND DAD.

At 1:40, the video transitions to a new segment, beginning with the SiIvaGunner's Lonely Rips Club Band album cover being shown as the rip "A Day In The Life - The Beatles: Rock Band" starts playing, followed by text reading "A NEW ALBUM FROM / SIIVAGUNNER" in the style of the album's logo (itself based on the one for The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album). Afterwards, the text "FEATURING / OVER / 100 TRACKS / SPANNING / THE ENTIRE / CAREER OF / THE BEATLES" appears on the left as covers of many Beatles albums and singles are shown in chronological recording order, accompanied by rips which feature tracks from them:

At 3:32, the ending of "A Day In The Life - The Beatles: Rock Band" plays, with the video changing to static colors in sync with the music, followed by the text "AVAILABLE NOW" being shown, also in the style of SiIvaGunner's Lonely Rips Club Band's logo, and a fade to black. The video ends with the Apple Records logo being shown, which has Wood Man's ">:]" face drawn over it, with the text "GILVASUNNER.BANDCAMP.COM" below it, as the rip "Pink Cloud Shrine - EarthBound" plays quietly.
