  • Can you name a few songs by the Beatles that sound like it's a rip off of something else?

    1. Come Together" (1969) - There have been suggestions that the bassline of "Come Together" bears similarities to Chuck Berry's "You Can't Catch Me." In fact, John Lennon was sued for copyright infringement over the resemblance, leading to a settlement where Lennon agreed to record three songs owned by the publisher of "You Can't Catch Me."
    2. "Yesterday" (1965) - The melody of "Yesterday" has been noted for its similarity to "Answer Me, My Love," a song written by Carl Sigman, Gerhard Winkler, and Fred Rauch. However, the resemblance is likely coincidental.
    3. "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" (1968) - Some listeners have pointed out similarities between the piano riff in "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" and the ska rhythm of Desmond Dekker's "007 (Shanty Town)." However, these similarities are more in style than direct copying.
    4. "I Saw Her Standing There" (1963) - The opening guitar riff of "I Saw Her Standing There" has been compared to the opening riff of "I'm Talking About You" by Chuck Berry. This similarity is acknowledged by the band, with Paul McCartney openly admitting the influence of Berry's style on the riff.
    5. "Do You Want to Know a Secret" (1963) - The melody of "Do You Want to Know a Secret" has been noted for its resemblance to "I'm Wishing," a song from Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." However, this similarity is likely coincidental.
    6. "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" (1968) - The structure and style of "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" have been compared to Bob Dylan's songwriting, particularly his "Subterranean Homesick Blues." This may be more of an homage than a rip-off, as the Beatles were known to be influenced by Dylan's work.
    7. "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" (1965) - This song has been compared to the folk style of Bob Dylan, particularly his song "She Belongs to Me." Again, this may be more of an homage than a direct copy.
    8. "Revolution" (1968) - The riff and guitar sound of "Revolution" have been likened to The Who's "I Can See for Miles." However, this similarity may be coincidental or reflective of the shared musical landscape of the time.
  • Only in the case of the Beatles they're more like the wright flyer except if they had been then they'd be known as the non flyer.

    I'm not certain I want membership in a club with standards so low as to allow me membership.
