Topic: Beatles Songs on Mandolin

I was wondering if you guys could let me know what you think what Beatles sonds would sound cool with a mandolin. I'm going to play with some guys i know, and I need to learn some Beatles, but I don't know what songs to learn.

And remember, nothing is to hard.
And they also hae all those wacky instruments that the beatles sometimes use. (sitar, saxes, trumpets, etc.)
