Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup …”
According to Neil Finn, you can’t put a “paper cup” in a song without it being a reference to John Lennon. So why not go the whole hog? In the Beatles’ Across the Universe, it’s words that are flowing ‘like endless rain into a paper cup’. Finn’s cup is attempting to contain a veritable flood.
The Beatles were such a monumental force in pop music that for a decade after their disbanding, other musical acts seemed consciously to avoid their influence. In Split Enz, however, New Zealand’s Finn brothers, Tim and Neil, embraced it wholeheartedly (this was long before 1990s Britpop, when everyone was at it), and the influence carried over to Neil’s Australian band, Crowded House. In general, perhaps too much has been made of the Beatles–Crowded House connection, but it’s there for all to hear in Don’t Dream It’s Over, where the narrow melody of the verse, all stepwise intervals, might easily have been written by Lennon. There is, however, nothing of Lennon in the famous chorus."
