Lil Wayne has a song called help.  It Samples Help! in the beginning and has the lyrics "I'm from the dirt where the Beatles and John Lennon be at"  paul-mccartney

I listened to that, since I already had Youtube up.  Well, I think I can say I've heard better songs…  When it was done I had to listen to the original since it got stuck in my head. a-hard-days-night-ringo-14

Epic Band Pink Floyd did really made a reference to Their Awesomeness The Beatles in "Let There Be More Light" from their second album (the first that count in my book) "A Saucerful of Secrets":

 

The outer lock rolled slowly back

The servicemen were heard to sigh

For there revealed in flowing robes

Was Lucy in the sky

 

And yes, I hate "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn".

I'd like to say "thank you" on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we passed the audition. John Lennon

"I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beatles…

…I asked Timothy Leary but he couldn't help me either. They call me the seeker…"

I can't believe I didn't think of that. It's my favorite Who song.

Well done.

My sister was listening to this country song by Brad Paisley called American Saturday Night and they said this

"Singing Back in the U.S.S.R."

I flipped. It was awesome! This may be off topic, but when I wake up in the morning I turn on my tv. This day, it was showing a little kid show and they went to England. They were singing a song about England, and they said:

"We love walking across Abbey Road."

I looked and the characters were walking across Abbey Road like the Beatles! It is cool they are putting refrences in little kid shows!

My mind is far away, off in Pepperland…

Someone's already mentioned American Pie, but there's still more.

Besides "Helter skelter in a summer swelter" 

There's also "While Lennon read a book on Marx". Although Lennon is  often replaced by Lenin. 

I don't know, but the quartet is supposedly The Beatles… "While the quartet practised in the park".

Step on the gas and wipe that tear away.

American Pie by Don McLean mentions "Helter Skelter" (in the summer swelter)

Actually, that entire song is in reference to the music scene, including Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Stones, Bob Dylan, etc etc. There's a lot of speculation to some of the metaphors, but the Beatles ones include the one you mentioned, and they also include "Now at half time there was sweet perfume as the Sargeants played a marching tune"  which talks about the awesomeness of Sgt. Pepper's of course, and "the marching band refused to yield" which sort of meant that they wouldn't give up the fight; the Beatles were just too big for anyone to push over.

That's in addition to the ones that 909 posted.

 

Another one is Gimme Sympathy by Metric "Who'd you rather be, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones? Oh, seriously? You're gonna make mistakes you know. Come on, baby, play me something like Here Comes the Sun"

That was most of the chorus.

"And my brother's back at home
With his Beatles and his Stones
We never got it off on that revolution stuff"

All The Young Dudes performed Mott The Hopple written by David Bowie.
