So is it a good song? It sounds a bit depressing to say the least.
Ad hoc, ad loc, and quid pro quo! So little time! So much to know!

Offline A pretty good song, but a little bit depressing. It repeats “John Lennon died, John Lennon died” a lot for the chorus and ends with gun shots.
I'd like to be, under the sea, in an octopus's garden, with you.

I had the misfortune to hear Bad Company doing Shooting Star recently. The lyrics are awful and it goes on for years.

We all know it’s really goo goo goo joob, but let’s face it – Simon/Garfunkel is no Lennon/McCartney.
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Weird, I can’t think of any reference of the Beatles in rock in Spanish. The only that comes to my mind is He visto a Lucy (I’ve seen Lucy) by Gustavo Cerati. He says he’s talking about Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds . It’s a good song.
I think I’ve already mentioned this, sorry if I’m repeating myself.

Offline This is not exactly on point but what I always found interesting was how the Beatles could mention themselves in their own songs and it always seemed so natural – like Glass Onion – to just say the Walrus and me – the Walrus was Paul or The Fool On The Hill – just so matter of fact. I think for a lot of bands mentioning themselves that way would seem forced or awkward.
Just a thought – that they even mentioned themselves in their own songs.

I like how “Lucy In The Sky” shows up in “Walrus”, which itself shows up in “Glass Onion “
The very first four words on Swamp Dogg's “Total Destruction To Your Mind” are “Sitting on a cornflake”

While listening to an oldies station, the song” Don't Call Us” by Sugar Loaf came on and I was singing along, of course, and got to the line It sounds like ah John, Paul and George…. (almost all of the Beatles)
And did you ever notice the “I Feel Fine ” riff in that song's chorus?
And speaking of riffs, the “Day Tripper ” riff appears in both Roxy Music's “Remake/Remodel” and April Wine's “I Like To Rock”

Offline The Rutles?! You mean the Pre-Fab Four? Dirk, Nasty, Stig and Barry? I was actually playing “Piggy In The Middle” not two weeks ago!
I'm as big a Monty Python fanatic as Beatles obsessive, so my Rutles-appreciation is assured. I remember seeing their album in the $3.99 rack in a Woolworths back in the early '80s, with all the parody album covers on the front, and thinking “What the hell is this?”

After all this is gone who would you rather be,
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
then, a few lines after that:
Come on baby, play me something,
like Here Comes The Sun
The lyrics are from 'Gimme Sympathy' by Metric. It was actually an alright song, not as bad as some of the other stuff he plays

Offline There was another thread, “Any Beatles songs sound exactly alike?”, where we were talking about similar melodies. Then the convo got steered towards Oasis, so I thought it appropriate to start a new thread dedicated towards lyrical references and/or similarities to the Beatles.
Some that I can name off the top of my head are:
“Sheer Heart Attack” by Queen: “Well you're just seventeen, and you want to disappear/you know what I mean, there's a lot of space between your ears”
“Young Americans” by David Bowie: “I read the news today, oh boy”
“(What's the Story) Morning Glory?” by Oasis: “Listening to my favorite song, Tomorrow Never Knows “

The Monkees have a song that was called over here “Randy Scouse Git” which mentioned them as The 4 Kings of EMI.
Bad Company did a song called Shooting Star about a boy who gets into music and forms a band because he heard the Beatles (Love Me Do ).
