And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.

You are care, and care must keep you;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby

The Beatles announce their American arrival with a four-minute video on YouTube, which is viewed by thousands of fans, mostly teenage boys, and makes them the buzz band for people in chat rooms, mostly 47-year-old men. Their appearance on a Cirque du Soleil special on CBS attracts 10 million viewers, 20 million fewer than watch "American Idol." Their debut "Please Pleshizzle Me" becomes iTunes' most-downloaded album. What if the Beatles landed today in New York?
