    What Classic 70's song is this ? --- uses a Beatles riff

    Hey,
    I was just listening to my local oldies 70's station and they played a song I don't think I ever heard before-- I don't remember anyway.

    I only caught the tail end of the song so I can't explain much about it other than the fact a Beatles riff was clearly used in the song over and over.

    The riff was from I FEEL FINE.

    Anybody know what song that is ?

    Could be Bobby Parker - Watch Your Step. According to Wikipedia (which I tend to loathe using as a reference)...

    Lennon's riff would seem to bear a striking resemblance to one found in "Watch Your Step", a 1961 release written and performed by Bobby Parker and covered by The Beatles in concerts during 1961 and 1962 (with the two songs also sharing a remarkably similar Latin-style drum pattern).

    I just Youtubed that one and it's definitely not the one i'm talking about.

    The one I heard had a very 70's or 80's feel -- and not bluesy at all.

    No problem Mikey.

    That's a weird version on youtube.

    The regular version actually references the Beatles in the lyrics.
