The "Flabby Road" series has hundreds of songs using "Beatles"

Mötley Crüe - "Slice of your pie"

The Beatles are quoted in the song's outro which is a copy from the "I want you" (She's so heavy) outro.

Actually caught this on a late night video show here in OZ last night! It was recorded in around 1980-81 by a group of Aussie session musos.
Called "(What will we be)Singing in the 80's" by The Monitors.

"I can see Sgt. Pepper standing high on the hill,
with George, John, Ringo and Paul.......and Paul........and Paul..."

Rather tragic piece of work! :?

Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - "Beatle Bones 'N' Smoking Stones"

The name of the group that did "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" was Sugarloaf - same group that had the hit with "Green-Eyed Lady". "DCUWCY" was from 1975 and "Green-Eyed Lady" was from '70.
