i believe peter sellers of the goons covered the beatles track "a hard days night" shakespearian richard iii style, cat # parlophone R5393 in 1965.the aa side of the same single was help! this probably came about because both the beatles and the goons were on the same record label parlophone and the beatles producer george martin was a huge goons fan and did some production work for them.
