Any suggestions for the ‘best’ pisstake song? One that can top Silly Love Songs?

John wrote I am the Walrus partly as a pisstake on the scholars who were analysing the Beatles tracks.
For me Paul topped it when being derided for his granny music and ‘Silly love songs’. He executed the brief perfectly. Ridiculously schmaltzy lyrics. Even ‘better’ chorus and a killer bass line to boot.
And the coup de gras was it shot to number one for 6 weeks.
Must have been laughing himself silly all the way to the bank as it blew his detractors minds.
Love to hear of other contenders.

Let’s show some love to this tragically underrated Beatle.

I think people forget that he wrote No Reply and Strawberry Fields, both of which slap.
