Beatles songs not by The Beatles

[roblovesolives]

Thought it might be fun to come up with some songs done by other groups that sound like Beatles songs.

Not the Girl You Think You Are: Crowded House. Could easily be a George song from the White Album
Superunknown: Soundgarden. Don't laugh. I think it sounds like it could be on Revolver.
Sowing the Seeds of Love: Tears for Fears. Obvious, really.

Any others?

Well, pretty much any ELO song.

Anyone remember Enuff Znuff?

We had a massive thread on this very topic a year or so ago. I added a couple of XTC songs to it.

Damn! For years I thought it was the Beatles doing this song!

I will have to dig a little but a few songs from Sloan albums "Between the Bridges" and "Navy Blues"

Used to do "Lies" back in the late 70's, early 80's. Love that song!

Thanks for posting, never heard either one of these!

Several Jane's Addiction selections would probably qualify....

There are literally hundreds of songs that fall into this category. Here's one:

And of course you could pick many other songs from XTCs catalog as well.

There was a Wilco song a few years ago that I thought sounded very much like a Beatles song. Shortly thereafter I heard an interview in which Jeff Tweedy (sp?) said something to the effect that it was his Beatles song. I'll have to try to find it later, I think it was on an album my wife owns.
