R. Raccoon, down but not out.
 
As far as crimes against rock go (and specifically the Beatles), this one’s just a misdemeanor. While the arrangement of “Rocky Raccoon” sounds like it belongs in Tobe Hooper’s The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, Lena Horne’s campy theatrics saves the tune from utter disaster.

This performance is from an episode of the Flip Wilson Show aired in 1973.
