@Ron Nasty: ah OK,thanks for that. I like it 
‘Beatles And Stones’ by Beady Eye (Liam Gallagher’s new band after the split of Oasis. Beady Eye have also split up now though,but the song was on their album): “I’m going to stand the test of time,like Beatles and Stones”
Still writing the words to the sermon that no one will hear......

Offline I’m not sure whether this is a real Beatles reference or whether I’m only making it up but when you listen to Apples and Oranges by Pink Floyd, Syd sings ‘I thought you might like to know’ at around 2:20 and apart from the last note it sounds exactly like the line in Sgt Pepper ‘s. Additionally, the single was released only four months after Sgt Pepper ‘s and the early Pink Floyd was greatly influenced by Sgt Pepper ‘s, I believe. Do you think it’s a coincidence or deliberate?

This is Syd we’re talking about… we’ll never know. 
However, my vote is that it was coincidental.
AAAAAHpples and OOOrangessss

Offline I think you may have something there, @Martha. We know they were recording Piper at Abbey Road at the same time The Beatles were recording Pepper. And A&O is their first post-Piper work.
Anyway, it was @Evangeline who brought me here. She mentioned someone in another thread that I knew a little as a child. William Broad. He was a friend of my older sister. And she made an Elvis comparison, which reminded me of a 1979 single by his first band, Generation X, King Rocker, which is basically an Elvis and John & The Beatles face-off:
Jailhouse Rocker roots training down
In Memphis
Liverpool Johnny rocks out round Paul’s place
Seconds away as the rhythm comes down
King faces King in the ring for the crown
King rocker king rocker, rock rock rock
King Kong
King Kong
Elvis from the body shakes from the hipbone
Quarry St. kids in leather take Hamburg
Creole was sharp but his guitar was acoustic
Go Johnny go use your electric
Crazy man crazy
King rocker king rocker, rock rock rock
King Kong
King Kong
King rocker king rocker, rock rock rock
King Kong
Round three, Ali buzzin like a bee,
Elvis in the corner and you won’t catch me
Round four, Johnny lookin’ poor,
Gotta find a hit gotta even up the score
Round five, some jive, Elvis took a dive
Waitin’ for the towel more dead than alive
Round six, seven, eight, nine,
Ref stops the fight with the men on forty two
For a rematch in heaven
If they ever come through
See this fight right through ’til the last round
Follow the man
Whose puttin’ out the boss sound
Of king rocker king rocker rock rock rock
King Kong
King Kong
King Kong
King Kong
King rocker king rocker rock rock rock
King Kong
King Kong
King Kong
King Kong
And while there’s another thread or two this would be more at home in, the b-side to KR was…

Offline Well, it is THAT day of the year again. 37 feckin’ years! All that lost treasure!
Anyway, I’ve been sitting on these two for a couple of weeks, thinking this day would be a good day to post them.
The first I found on a list of the nine greatest Lennon tribute songs. It was a song I’d never heard by a band I’d never heard of. Needed to hear that, and mighty fine and moving it is too…
and this popped up among the suggested videos at the end, and proved another display of love, affection and loss…
37 years too many. We miss you, John. We love you, John.

Offline Watching a documentary on the making of The Who’s Quadrophenia. In it, Pete Townshend said that the lines in 5:15
Girls of fifteen
Sexually knowing
The ushers are sniffing
Eau-de-cologning
were written about The Beatles appearance at the Blackpool Opera House on 16 August 1964. The Who, still known as The High Numbers, were one the support bands (as were The Kinks, now that’s a helluva bill). The reference in the lines was to screaming girls losing control and wetting themselves, while the ushers would go around spraying the seats with eau-de-cologne to cover the smell.

Offline ^How quaint! But very intriguing, as well!
Found this one due to the Kevin Ayers kick I’ve been on recently:
Song for Insane Times by Kevin Ayers contains the line
We talk all night and we’re all turned on
We believe we heard him singing his song
Telling us all there was work to be done
And everyone sang a chorus of I Am The Walrus

South California Purples, by Chicago (from their first album) — right at 4:25, singer/keyboardist Robert Lamm sings the famous phrase from “I Am The Walrus “.

Offline Sorry @Beatlebug, but I prefer the original of that song:
Speaking of The Mamas and The Papas, I’m not sure if someone else has said this anywhere else, but Mama Cass’ crush on John Lennon surfaced during their cover of I Call Your Name , when she whispered ‘I love you John’ in the bridge, at 1:27, and again 1:33.
