"Rocky Raccoon"
The Beatles portray the wild west by the very beginning of the song talks about how a boy wants to start a fight with another boy for taking his girl. This seems very typical in the Wild West since girls and fights always came about. It also takes about how he went to a saloon with a gun, which again is typical for cowboys. Cowboys were always thought to be carrying guns around and going to the local saloon all the time. The names of all the 'character' in the song are also very western sounding. A showdown is also mentioned which are shown in every western movie, when one man is standing at one end of an empty dusty town and the same with another man the other side. The song also sounds pretty western, so that can connect with how cowboys were.
