And within that discography, there are quite a few Beatles songs that actually reference other Beatles songs. Let\u2019s look at a few deep cuts that do exactly that. A few of these references might have escaped you the first time you heard them!<\/p>\n<p>            \u201cWhat Goes On\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Goes On\u201d comes from The Beatles\u2019 1965 album Rubber Soul. If you read between the lines, this song actually references the song \u201cTell Me Why\u201d from the 1964 record A Hard Day\u2019s Night. Though, some fans think this is just a coincidence. However, I\u2019m inclined to agree that the song is referencing the Fab Four\u2019s earlier hit.<\/p>\n<p>The other day I saw you<br \/>As I walked along the road<br \/>But when I saw him with you<br \/>I could feel my future fold<br \/>It\u2019s so easy for a girl like you to lie<br \/><strong>Tell me why.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cLady Madonna\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLady Madonna\u201d is a later-career hit by The Beatles, released as a non-album single in 1968. This little rock and roll tune references the surreal psychedelic pop tune \u201cI Am The Walrus\u201d from the group\u2019s 1967 record Magical Mystery Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Friday night arrives without a suitcase<br \/>Sunday morning creeping like a nun<br \/>Monday\u2019s child has learned to tie his bootlace<br \/><strong>See how they run.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlass Onion\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Remember the psychedelic rock deep cut \u201cGlass Onion\u201d? This song was released in 1968 and included on the band\u2019s famed White Album. And \u201cGlass Onion\u201d refers to quite a few Beatles songs, including \u201cI Am The Walrus\u201d, \u201cI\u2019m Looking Through You\u201d, \u201cThe Fool On The Hill\u201d, \u201cFixing A Hole\u201d, \u201cStrawberry Fields Forever\u201d, and \u201cLady Madonna\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some believe even more songs are being referenced in \u201cGlass Onion\u201d, and the song is still being picked apart today. Honestly, you might as well look up the lyrics to the entire song, as the whole thing is just one big self-referential piece.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSavoy Truffle\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This entry on our list of Beatles songs that reference other Beatles songs comes from the White Album. This George Harrison-penned track references \u201cOb-La-Di Ob-La-Da\u201d, which follows \u201cGlass Onion\u201d on the album.<\/p>\n<p>You know that what you eat you are<br \/>But what is sweet now turns so sour<br \/><strong>We all know Ob-La-Di-Bla-Da<\/strong><br \/>But can you show me where you are?<\/p>\n<p>Photo by Michael Ochs Archives\/Getty Images<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Fab Four were only together for less than a decade, but their discography really runs deep.
