New Game for when you're really bored!

Def Leppard's "Rock it" mentions "Sargent Pepper and the band".

------------------
I'd be quite prepared for that eventuality

Three Dog Night's "Never Been to Spain"
".. well I've never been to England, but I kinda like the Beatles..."

And I swear U2's Angel of Harlem is about John Lennon's shooting..

Jeni

yes lucy, it is a shania twain song, i forget the title, but it goes,

"That John is back with the beatles and they're going out on tour, i'll be first in line for tickes, gotta see that show for sure..."

------------------
-Litl Chey Lennon
Imagine all the people, sharing all the world...you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...

Does anyone remember Rick Nelson's "Garden Party"? "...Yoko brought her Walrus...."

good one

I think this game has just about died, so for those fans who are further interested in songs that reference the Beatles, you might like to check this song references page.

Not mine, sorry... I don't know who owns it, I just came across it purely by accident the other day and it happened to be about what was being discussed here so I thought I'd provide the link.

Not a bad little site is it? Another good one I found can be reached through the link below...

------------------

The Barenaked Ladies(yes theat really is there name" have a song called "Be my Yoko Ono"

------------------
Be sure to see the best new site on the web

Up and running now!

I think they took inspiration from Yoko for their name as well as for the song.

Three more Beatles references:

Ball of Confusion by the Temptations -"the Beatles' new record's a gas"

All You Want To Do Is Dance by Billy Joel-"Why don't the Beatles get back together?"

King Rocker by Generation X-"Liverpool Johnny rocks out around Paul's place"

In Johnny River's "Summer Rain"...
"And the jukebox kept on playing Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

Bearkat77's Beatlemaniac Page

"The Other Side of Abbey Road" by
George Benson..... released on Nov. 1969

GV

Before she was Cher, singer "Bonnie Jo Mason" recorded the novelty
song, 'I Love You Ringo.'

ALso, John Fred and his Playboy Band mimicked 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' with the song title 'Judy in Disguise with Glasses'

How about John's song "How Do You Sleep?", with it's cutting barbs at Paul.

"So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise..." and "The only thing you done was yesterday..."

It also mentions "The quartet practiced in the park..." and "Sergeants played a marching tune..."

<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

"The players tried to take the field, but the marching band refused to yield..."

Another Monkees one:

In their song "No Time" Micky yells "Rock on George for Ringo one time".

Beatles and the Stones by House of Love-"the Beatles and the Stones made it good to be alone." I can't believe I forgot that one!
A great song by a great band!

The promotional video for Alanis Morrissette's 1996 single, Hand In Pocket, features an image of John Lennon passing by.
