I was absolutely flabbergasted when I found this video! I absolutely love it! and it features a 330!
This is probably similar to how I would cover it if it ever came to that,

There was an all female band called Fanny back in the early seventies, in fact, I think they started out as Fanny Hill. Anyways, to make a long story short, they did an awesome cover of Hey Bulldog!

Good one, Charly! Loved that band. They opened up for a lot of shows at the Santa Monica Civic.

Speaking of "Slow down" — albeit technically, it wasn't a Beatles song — how about this one?
My vote also goes for Samiam's version of "Cry baby cry".

I didn't know they covered it, I've only heard the Crue's version.
What about the Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band movie soundtrack.
I am joking, of course. Hollywood at it's absolute worst.

The soundtrack to the movie "I Am Sam" is all Beatles covers and it has some pretty good ones on it. Rufus Wainwright doing "Across the Universe", Eddie Vedder doing "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away", Ben Folds doing "Golden Slumbers", Nick Cave doing "Here Comes The Sun". There are quite a few really good ones on that one soundtrack.
