The tune that Sir Paul sings and hums in the bath is Nessun Dorma (Let No One Sleep) from the opera Turandot by Giacomo Puccini (premiering Sunday, 25 April 1926). This was the signature tune of theThe Three Tenors, formed in 1990. This opera has been heard in other shows and films.
The jigsaw with the skull on the floor is based on the painting The Ambassadors (1533) by Hans Holbein the Younger. It is also entitled "Jean de Dinteville and Georges de Selve", which are the names of the two men in it. The way the skull is shaped is referred to as an anamorphism, like later paintings of King Charles I of England, which camouflaged his image, lest Roundheads found such paintings, the image only visible by means of a round, reflective tube.
