A List That I Started Writing And Gave Up On Finishing Almost Immediately

BEATLES SWIPES/RIFFS/TRIBUTES IN ELVIS COSTELLO SONGS:

1.) "...And In Every Home..." - Orchestra plays similar riff to "Here Comes The Sun" (also Cream's "Badge") at :33 and elsewhere. Arrangement supposedly contains numerous musical allusions to George Martin arrangements and other pieces.

2.) "Blue Chair" - Costello sings same "Oh ho ho ho ho ho" as Lennon on Beatles' cover of "Anna"

3.) "20% Amnesia" - Guitar break at :48 recalls "I Feel Fine"

4.) "Pony St." - Bass bit at 1:48 recalls McCartney-style bass on "Paperback Writer" and "Rain"

And then I kind of lost interest.
