I guess I can think of worse songs to be inspired by/constantly ripped off.

I was thinking about this the other day.

Do you think that, of all the Beatles songs that get ripped off/interpolated/riffed on/inspired by by other bands and musicians, that Dear Prudence is the single song that is most prevalent?

It seems to me as if it comes up on almost every other commentary we do.
It is remarkable how influential it's been for a relatively minor song (by Beatles standards).

Completely redundant one-chord guitar riff bit.

Good grief!

Lyrically, compositionally almost a carbon copy of the "You Never Give Me Your Money" leitmotif.
