Another song which seems to garner inspiration from YSBIM is, oddly enough, I'm Only Sleeping. Just how it seems to disappear and comes back.
Speaking of which, I just now happened to listen to Strawberry Fields Forever, a it struck me that the backwards bit at the end sounds awfully like the train at the end of Pet Sounds.
Most Beatles songs have bits when I think "that sounds like Brian Wilson" (e.g. the key change in the fade-out of Good Day Sunshine), but I'm not sure if I'm picking all those up because I was raised (since before I could walk!) on a steady diet of his music and notice these things, or if I'm just grasping at straws.
