Shangri-La, the closer of A New World Record by ELO opens with a swoony slide guitar borrowed from some surf rock ballad, trading off with the ever-present epic string section and Jeff Lynne choir. Just when you think yeah, these guys do sound like the Beatles, here comes the chorus; "My Shangri-La has gone away/ Fading like the Beatles on Hey, Jude..." They even do a coda, but with no shoutalong vocals, and it's about a quarter of the length of Hey, Jude's.

This isn't even the best song on the album!
