Uhm, yeah. Like the title said. Any songs that start off and make you say; “Hey, ain’t that so-and-so by The Beatles”, and then turn out to be something completely different?

Help me out here! It’s to fool a Beatles fan at a pub-quiz…

Probably deliberate, considering who it’s by, but the start of Julian Lennon’s “Saltwater” is highly reminiscent of “Strawberry Fields Forever”.

The intro of Gomez’s “We Haven’t Turned Around” (the version on the B-side album _Abandoned Shopping Trolley Hotline_) is also very reminiscent of “Strawberry Fields Forever”.

Defintely deliberate, but you may be able to use some of the Rutles songs. [Neil Innes](http://www.neilinnes.org/audio/audio.htm) has several MP3s that work very well – most importantly “Piggy in the Middle.”
