Cf., however, Pete Townshend on, say, "The Kids are
Alright," esp. around those supended 4ths.  But I

 By the way, recently found a rather less mellifluous
cover by The Sting-Rays of Newburgh, along with a "Run
for Your Life" by The Harbour Lites, and s few
"Ob-La-Di Ob-la-Da"'s (Joyce Bond, The Bedrocks, The
Marmalade, Chris Shekespeare and The Globe Show)  ...
