And - crap, I almost hate to admit this - but as much as I love those Lennon/Beatles tunes, I almost think I like the Tame Impala song a bit better. It's a bit livelier.
Not that I think Tame Impala has a snowball's chance of equaling the Beatles, mind you, but at least for this specific type of song, I think they've done a good job of taking a formula and improving on it maybe just a wee bit.
EDIT: The first Lennon song is a bit more structurally complex than the Tame Impala song, and a bit more interesting. Probably a better piece of songwriting by Lennon. Maybe in a few years the Aussie band can match it.
Will be interesting to watch this band.
