the cool Beatles song for Snobs to like is “Cry Baby Cry,”
Hah! I didn't think it was "cool" for Snobs to like ANY Beatles at all.
Who died and made you Elvis?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's always cool to find the hidden gem, even moreso when the whole catalog is so well known. It validates your discerning ear.
I'm sticking with my quixotic choice, "I Dig A Pony."

Yes! I only know it because an uber-cool music pusher friend put it on a mix for me once.

Oh, and by the way, the cool Beatles song for Snobs to like is “Cry Baby Cry,” off Side 4 of the White Album.
Actually, it's "Long Long Long," which clearly sets the stage for the dreamy space-rock of Big Star's Sister Lovers. And Lisah, of course Rock Snobs (or "Useless-Americans" in our prefered parlance) can like the Beatles, as long as it's either a) "the only real Beatles albums are Rubber Soul, Revolver, or the White Album, man" or b) "I only listen to the first four albums when the Beatles actually knew how to rock."
What does your friend look like Mr. Industries?
Short, goateed, Latino. Front and center a couple of times and off to one side towards the end.

I've always been partial to: "Wouldn't it be great if the Ramones had covered 'Polythene Pam'?"
It's also cool to cite McCartney's bass playing.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My favorite Beatles is "One After 909," especially the early version from Anthology 1.

That's a whole new level to Rock Snobbery, David. Maybe it's something different.

I think the only Beatles album that no one thinks is cool to like is Sgt. Pepper.
Not that it's not good. Just that it's not "cool" to like it.
