The most "Bomp-able" Beatles cross-plug I know of is "It's All Too Much"
(a great George psych tune from the Yellow Submarine soundtrack) which
fades out with someone singing "With her long blond hair and her eyes of
blue..." from "Sorrow" by the Merseys/McCoys/(much later) Bowie.

I also dig "Ain't No Beatle (Ain't no Rolling Stone)" by Gary ----- (I
forgot) on London, a great punky mid-60s novelty, among the many tons of
fun Beatles novelty 45s out there.
