Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
Well, thats the kinda feeling I get whenever I hear Original of the Species.
The do do do's in OOTS remind me of the nah nah nah nah's of the classic Beatles song Hey Jude.
From a considerably toned down beginning, OOTS also builds itself up into quite a spelndid and explosive song, with a vibrant chorus, like Hey Jude.
The most telling similarity however is the lyrical meaning behind the songs.
According to Bono, Original of the Species is about Edge's daughter and the lyrics are addressed to her.
According to Paul McCartney, Hey Jude is written about and addressed to Julian, Lennon's son. (However, for lyrical pruposes McCartney changed the lyric from Jules to Jude.)
Both songs are directed towards the offspring of a fellow band memeber.
Just a few similarities I've noticed and I've concluded that OOTS is indeed Beatlesque, as many have acknowledged, yet in more ways than just the sound of the song.
