HELP, I NEED SOMEBODY ($60,000 – $80,000)

The song ‘Help!’ by the Beatles was written by John Lennon in 1965.

It’s ranked 29th on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All-Time!

In an interview with Playboy magazine, Lennon explained the inspiration behind the lyrics was fueled by the considerable stress he was experiencing, following the band’s meteoric rise to fame.

“I was fat and depressed, and I was crying out for help!”

What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role?
