on that note...don't think the song's any good though.

In what ways, please describe what makes it Beatlesque?

however, I can say with certainty that both the melodies and chord progressions of this GD song have been in Beatles songs. that is all.

If you're not a Beatles expert, or even a roughly familiar with their work, then why make a comparison when you have no basis to compare it to? That's lazy, stupid, and unfair. I respect people's opinions, but I hate when people talk out of their ass. Nothing about this song makes it blatantly a Beatles-ripoff, and that's coming from someoen who does consider themselves an expert. Thanks for helping spread ignorance!
