I don't know if this has ever been suggested before, but I thought it would be fun for us to keep a running video list of pop/rock songs that either mention the Beatles (as a group or individuals) or song titles/lyrics. These are not cover songs. They are original songs that allude to the lads or their work. I thought of about 10 right off the top of my head, but to start, and to give you all a chance to contribute, here are 3 to get us going:

I'll do the first three that come to my mind. Jeff Lynne was on CBS Sunday Morning this morning, that's probably why I thought of ELO first.
Then I thought of a long-time favorite by the Temptations.
Then, Bowie or Mott the Hoople? I went with Bowie.

I see ELO has been mentioned, how about an earlier Jeff Lynne song:
Then there's this bunch:

AAAAARGH! I can't believe I forgot about the Korgis.
Have seen James Warren and Andy Davis perform this song several times with Stackridge (one of the most underrated UK bands ever!) over the last few years.

I've always felt they (Korgis/Stackridge) were like XTC only even more under appreciated. Often very British sounding but also able to mix various musical themes into their catalogue.

Also forgot a more tangible connection between the Korgis/Stackridge and the Beatles. Andy Davis is the "Andy" credited with acoustic guitar on the Imagine LP
