A World Without Love by Peter and Gordon. It should, it was written by McCartney.

I think in one year HH outsold the Beatles in the U.S.
That’s why I brought that song up.
It was sung like a John Lennon song.
Similar points of cresting up and fading back.
I couldn’t think of the group’s name of Crowded House.
“Sowing the Seeds of Love” by Tears for Fears is so Beatles-esque it could have been a lost tape from the Sgt. Pepper era that wasn’t released til the 80s:
Oasis - Whatever (Official Video)
Oasis - Champagne Supernova (Official Video)
I never really cared for that oe, but I’ll listen to it again.

“Come and Get It”. Written and produced by McCartney but performed by Badfinger. I bet 7 out of 10 people would guess it’s a Beatles song if you played it for them if they didn’t know ahead of time it was Badfinger.
Nice find, these songs REALLY take me back to pre transistor radio days. I had on of those ornate wooden radios with SW and other capabilities. It really kicked out tunes quite nicely from the AM of course.
The Beau Brummels - “Laugh, Laugh”
The DC5 were more “rock n’ roll” than the Beatles….they added sax and keyboard to their songs.
Well, anything by ELO…..
Crowded House? Really?!
Lol…Dave Clark Five was my first thought, too.
I drove over the Little River in NorCal today and thought about the band, wondering if there was a connection. Haven’t thought about that band for decades and there it is twice today!
I have always thought this was a beatles inspired song.
Ironically, I saw the Cyrkle (prounced "Circle") song that song as an opening act for The Beatles back in 1966.
I used to think that “Bus Stop” by the Hollies was actually the Beatles.
