I somehow stumbled across this song on social media, and obviously the title piqued my interest. It seems a bit overly reliant on the hook, “I love it when you say George Harrison is better in comparison to all three, minus Paul” (which I’m sure this forum would debate until the cows come home! John #1 IDST) but otherwise, a cute little ditty.

Just heard the song Lonely People by hip-hop/RnB artist B.O.B.
It samples Eleanor Rigby and it is just really nice 🙂

Mike Love uploaded this song, Pisces Brothers, to social media on what would have been George’s 71st birthday in 2014. It was officially released on his Unleash the Love album last year.There is a painting on the wall
And as I walk on down the hallA flood of memories come to mind
Of happy birthday’s back in time
Pisces brothers with worldly success
Seekers drawn to Rishikesh
Not for fortune or for more fame
But for enlightenment we came
To Maharishi and how sublime
It was an atmosphere divine
Such precious moments, now in the past
Music and memories are all that last
Jai guru deva, Hare Krishna, Hare Rama
Jai guru deva, little darling, Here Comes The Sun
Jai guru deva, Hare Krishna, gonna miss ya’
Now on the darkest of lonely nights
The heavens shine with one more light
And while the world below you sleeps
Some say your guitar gently weeps
And though your earthly form be gone
Your songs of life go on and on
Jai guru deva, Hare Krishna, Hare Rama
Jai guru deva, oh little darling, Here Comes The Sun
Jai guru deva, Hare Krishna, gonna miss ya’
And though we’ll miss you, now that you’re gone
Your songs of life
Go on and on

I’m glad I smiled through it instead of crying in that crowd.

Offline By Tony Hazzard, 1973, a song called Paul McCartney , so I think it may be about someone who was once a Beatle… probably John or Ringo…

This is amazing 
Funnily enough I had just listened to a Lady Madonna rehearsal where Paul sings a silly verse about Lord and Lady Docker, and then Tony Hazzard mentions Lady Docker

Offline Several years years ago I posted a song (“The Family”, from the superb ’69 debut LP of short-lived north-Michigan hardrocking quartet ‘The Frost’) on the “Songs by others that sound Beatlesque” thread…And now, don’t I find that their followup (released Sept. 1970 and much weaker) has a crunchy candidate for this thread, the intriguingly titled “1500 Miles Through The Eyes of a Beatle” (I haven’t caught the lyric yet, title chorus excepted…):
I really do highly recommend that aforementioned debut, “Frost Music” to fans of melodic psychedelic-ish hard rock (and especially the Detroit-area sounds of that mini-era. Good songs, some harmonies, spectacular lead-guitar excursions, and yeah an inevitable touch of Beatle influence.
(Lou Reed fans in the forum may know lead singer/lead axe Dick Wagner from his ’70s work with Lou; or his later session work for Alice Cooper and Peter Gabriel)
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

And I could put on the radio
To our favourite song
Lennon and Yoko
We will play all day long
But the song’s a duet that she does with Sean, with her referencing that in the rest of the verse:
“Isn’t life crazy?”, I said
Now that I’m singing with Sean, whoa-oh
So, Beatles references or Beatles offspring? I went for here eventually…

Lana references ‘Lucy In The Sky…’ in two different songs; one in the intro which clearly samples the Beatles track, the other in the lyrics. I forget the names of both songs which is massively helpful.

Love bug sure gonna bite her
If the Beatle even wave his hand
Chuck had a bit of a mini-comeback in ’64 and probably realized that the Beatles played a part, hence the album title. (Also gave the title “Liverpool Drive” to one instrumental)

Offline While researching the Canadian pop chart archive for stats on Paul’s “Jet ” earlier, I discovered the existence of this 1973 Top 30 Canuck hit titled “The Beatles Thing”. It doesn’t mention their name at all, just laments their absence – in a year in which all four of them will still be omnipresent on the charts, both as solo performers and via the red/blue albums. It’s fairly typical early 70s soft-pop rock, sounding kinda Badfinger-ish in fact:
