Possibly.<br /><br />(Current listening: <a href="http://amzn.to/uNm3n0" rel="nofollow"><i>Atlantic Rhythm And Blues 1947-1974</i></a> –– 8 CDs, 10 hours. I'm only up to the second CD, but what a treasure trove! I thought it would be just a pleasant listen, but it's causing me nod my head and tap my feet constantly. It's very distracting.)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694593832483511316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-86500336621192359892011-12-13T17:52:18.588-05:002011-12-13T17:52:18.588-05:00I think that's not a coincidence so much as a ...I think that's not a coincidence so much as a very canny lift -- okay, homage if you must -- by two very canny songwriters with a big love jones for the Beatles.<br />:-)steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-78637703022270769602011-12-13T17:47:25.063-05:002011-12-13T17:47:25.063-05:00Mmm.

I'm a huge fan of "Whoah-oh-oh"s –– especially when Fountains Of Wayne sing them.<br /><br />And I don't even mind that in "Richie & Ruben" they borrowed a bit of Ringo Starr's "Photograph".
