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

I dunno if this counts, but some parts of “history” by The Verve sounds like Mind Games .

Offline 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!

Offline Not sure if one was mentioned yet, but The Clash's London Calling.
Don't Look to us,
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust.

Now, there's an album I haven't heard in a long time. I wore out the vinyl and haven't replaced it yet. Thanks for reminding me, mr S. It is a great album.
BOT: From the song 1977 also by The Clash – “No Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones…”

I have to put my “eurovision” contribution in here and mention a song by 60's Italian pop star Gianni Morandi (a kind of Italian Cliff Richard) who did “C'era un ragazzo” which goes:
“C'era un ragazzo, che come me
amava i Beatles e i Rolling Stones..“
translated:
There was a young guy, who just like me
loved The beatles and the Rolling Stones”
it's basically an anti-Vietnam war song. Just some ordinary kid who loves that music and that is taken off to war ..and is killed.

Offline Sorry if these were already said, but In Living In The Material World by George Harrison it's got their names in it!
Met them all here in the material world
John and Paul here in the material world
and though we started out quite poor
we got Ritchie on a tour
and i'm pretty sure that Ritchie means Ritchie, like Ringo, only it's a double meaning too, I think!
The Seeker by The Who also mentions The Beatles
As does We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel, becuase it's says Beatlemania and then so
ONE MINUTE YOU'RE DEFENDING THE WHOLE GALAXY, AND SUDDENLY, YOU FIND YOURSELF SUCKING DOWN DARJEELING WITH MARIE ANTOINETTE AND HER LITTLE SISTER.!

Offline Admittedly, I don’t listen to this song often. So imagine my surprise when I hear, while listening to Ringo’s Devil Woman , the line “Sexy Sadie , you look like the devil to me”. I often skip the song, but I was too lazy to change it this time. And as for the song, I have a new found appreciation of the song. Now, this may have already been mentioned (possibly by myself), but you also have John’s vitriolic attack of Paul, How Do You Sleep, featuring the famous line about Yesterday . And, I’ve mentioned it before, but London Calling, the Clash song, has the famous (or infamous) line, “Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust”.

Offline I can think of 2 that name a beatle; Life Is Real (Song For Lennon) by Queen written in tribute to John after his murder; Crazy In Love by Beyonce, Jay-Z raps “a star like Ringo”.
Going off topic but a a couple of vids that are obviously inspired by the beatles are Hey Ya by Outkast that used the first Sullivan show as its inspiration and Sing by Travis that paid homage to Help !
And then theres anything Oasis ever did – well not the decent lyrics part but pretty much everything else.

Offline May have been mentioned, but “All the Young Dudes” by Mott the Hoople mentions them: “And my brother's back at home, with his Beatles and his Stones”
And since meanmistermustard brought up music videos, “Californication” by the Red Hot Chile Peppers has a Beatle-esque band wearing Buddy Holly Glasses.

Offline The Manic Street Preacher's Motown Junk– “I laughed when Lennon got shot, 21 years of living and nothing means anything to me”.
I take the line “I don't want much, it will be deafening when I do” in the Kaiser Chiefs' Little Shocks to be a reference to I Want You (She's So Heavy).
There's the obvious “I read the news today, oh boy” in David Bowie's Young Americans, and Queen's All God 's People has a fantastic moment where Mercury sings “then I, then I, then I, then I went into a dreeeaaaam”, which I can't help feeling is a reference to A Day In The Life (certainly sounds like one). That line always gives me goosebumps.
And, of course, Oasis.
I told her I didn’t

Seems to be a reference to pop and drug culture in the 60's.
You all will have read that Dave Dee is no longer with us. But Mickey and Titch and I would like to carry on the good work that's always gone down in number two.
