"Hold on Tight"

Yester-day, I was thinking about the French in the Beatles' "Michelle."  While not exact, the French lines are basically the same as some English lines in the song.  (I wrote a slightly more detailed post about it here.)  Then I realized that ELO did the same thing in "Hold on Tight" (although, as I explain here, the French isn't translated very accurately) and that this may be yet an-other instance of the Beatles' influence.
