I was just listening to Something Happened To Me Yesterday and guess had never noticed it before but it sounds WAAAAY too much like the Friggin Four, complete with tubas, whistling and Mick's spoken vocals at the end. I nearly threw up.
Was this a deliberate parody or just a result of Beatle "influences"?
And did the Friggin Four ever imitate or parody (2 markedly different things) the Stones?

Keith was playing an Epiphone Casino before the Beatles got theirs

Well, maybe it is rather preposterous to say, but I have the feeling that The Beatles were
inspired to record "Roll over Beethoven" because our boys had a huge succes with their first
Chuck Berry penned single Come on in 1963.

'Come On' only got to number 21 in the charts, hardly a "huge success"!

Well, enough of a succes to be in every television show all summer and to get John and Paul
coming to the studio to witness this new band everyone was talking about.

I always saw "Tell me (you're coming back to me)" as a 'Fab 4 spoof'; a genuine parody of the Beatles, done by the Stones... the grotesque sounding vocal harmonies, the 'sirupy' chorus, the lame beat, etc. ...
But that's an 'OT' observation in this thread, off course.
As far as the original Q is concerned: I really wouldn't know. But I don't think so!?...

I think McCartney once mentioned that Day Tripper was the result of hearing the Stones Satisfaction.

In any case, there is a point in that CHARLIE IS MY DARLING scene where Mick and Keith make fun of the Day Tripper guitar riff.

Come together is inspired by the Stones.

All in all, I think the role of The Beatles as the trend leaders - after their breakthrough - is hugely over-estimated. More is to say that they were very quick to respond to any new intersting idea and a potential trend and adapt it and make their own, very succesfull versions out of it. This IS a mark of their great genious. The Stones, were in this sense quite similar to them.

The Beatles weren't first using the Sitar, the Byrds (or the Hollies?) were.

No they don't: that's 'I Feel Fine'. 'Day Tripper' hadn't even been written at the time.

I recall McCartney also talking about Helter Skelter being an attempt at a dirty sound after hearing some other bands song( Who's My Generation??).
