John Lenon and Paul McCartney split credit for all the songs they wrote during the Beatles, even if the song was primarily or totally written by just one of them. People like to speculate about who wrote what, and after the Beatles broke up both John's would sometimes say who did, but they didn't always agree.

Why do you call them both Johns? Is that a Beatles fan inside joke?

"The Two Johns" is usually used for the band They Might Be Giants, who are John Linnell and John Flansburgh (plus a technically rotating backup band, but usually Danny Weiskopf, Dan Miller and Marty Beller).

Hah no, I honestly have no idea why I wrote that accidently. Maybe as someone mentioned I was thinking of TMBGs or something.
