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.
