eat it! it's GOOD for you
yeah, they signed them and had something to do with naming them. I doubt we'd still be talking about "The Iveys" but you never know.

They start off with an "I Am the Walrus" style vocal cadence & instrumental rhythm track; they have the Wurlitzer electric piano sound going; then they pull in the circus sounding trumpets from the Sgt Pepper era...
...& @ 4 minutes into the song, as they come out of the dreamy section, here comes the quintessential George Harrison distorted guitar riff leading back into the "I am the Walrus" verse.
I could pick out lots more direct cops...but you get the idea.
They were quite brilliant on that song.
Yes, quite a brilliant song indeed with obvious Beatles influences. I love to crank this one up on my 20 minute commute to work in the morning. Definately a "feel good" song. Most everything that Tears For Fears has put out is outstanding.

The air that I breathe by the Hollies sounds a whole lot like a bealtles song.

cool music and hot coffee
Speaking of Tears for Fears...their last album, Everybody Loves a Happy Ending is even more Beatlesque than "Sowing the Seeds of Love". The title track is like a fabulous Sgt. Pepper outtake that somehow never saw the light of day. Absolutely amazing.
