    Boy oh boy...Something is one of the best songs ever written. Even Frank Sinatra, who hated the Beatles and wrote great love songs himself, says this is the best love song of all time.

    I agree that "Yellow submarine" would have been one of the last Beatles songs I would show someone who was unfamiliar with the Beatles, but "Something" is iconic. Was a #1 hit for the Beatles. How about some more songs off of the white album, like maybe Glass Onion, Happiness is a Warm Gun, or Sexy Sadie.

    "Yellow Submarine" was an attempt to write a children's song.
    I expect it was meant for John's son, Julian.
    1968 was a tough year for little Julian.
    Though his father had written a song about a drawing Julian had made about a school friend (1967's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which are the very words Julian used to describe the drawing), his father suddenly walked out on him and his mother (which prompted Paul to write "Hey Jude" for him). Later in 1968, the Beatles released "Yellow Submarine", perhaps to make Julian feel a little better. But then, songs aren't always released in chronological order.
    Paul and John both worked on the song, even other famous music friends contributed, but the song seemed to resist being written.
    If you don't like children's songs, that's fine.
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________
    Yes, the blonde with the bun is Patty Boyd Harrison, and George wrote this for her. The release date was 1969. The next year George's best friend Eric Clapton wrote "Layla" for Patty. Then they show John with Yoko. Then they show Paul with Linda wrapped with him in his coat. Then there's Ringo twirling Maureen around.
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________
    There are a number of speculations about Ringo's eyebrow, usually told with full confidence by people who have no actual evidence or experience to draw from. Let's just say no one knows but Ringo and whoever he chooses to share that information with. Ignore the gossip.
    ___________________________________________________________________________________________
    Let me share something that might take some edge off the 'Paul is dead' conspiracy:
    This is about the 'walrus' references.
    I used to go down to a news stand that brought in periodicals from other countries. It was the only place I could find Beatles Monthly (aka The Beatles Monthly Book, a UK magazine published by the Official Beatles Fan Club, which had active involvement by the Beatles themselves). So, I used to collect these. One month, while the Beatles were busy filming "Magical Mystery Tour", Beatles Monthly held one of their frequent contests for readers/fans. The magazine had pictures of the Beatles working on the "I Am the Walrus" segment of the film, so the contest was "Spot the Beatle". The idea was to identify which Beatles was dressed up as which animal.
    So, first there is this song, "I Am the Walrus" (another one of John's 'nonsense' lyrics songs), included on the 1967 album "Magical Mystery Tour".
    Then, it gets referenced again on the 1968 White Album in the song "Glass Onion" (the lyric John sings is "Here's a clue for you all, the walrus was Paul").
    There are reportings of things John said about this, what the first song meant and what the second song meant. One thing that comes up as an irritant for both Paul and John is how often people bug them about what their songs 'mean'. Paul and John can't grasp why people have to dig for hidden/deeper meaning in these songs they write, especially when John and Paul don't take their songs all that seriously themselves.
    So, here's my theory:
    John wrote a silly song for a silly movie they were making. Then people bugged him about the meaning. Then there came that weird 'replacement Paul' idiocy, and they looped in the walrus thing. So John trolled them by making a lyric about the walrus being Paul. (And when the contest in Beatles Monthly finished, the Walrus actually WAS John, who sang "I Am the Walrus; DUH).

    Hey Guys, love your honesty on this. As a Beatles fan (2nd only to the Kinks for me), I agree with Gabe about Yellow Submarine, but not this one. On most albums, Ringo was given lead vocals, and for me, Yellow Submarine falls into the category of meh! Not great. This, however, classic Beatles sound. Keep up the friendly arguments, and Nick, Gareth isn't always wrong. Thanks for posting this, and keep doing what you're doing.

    People would buy an album when it came out if you were fans of that group , but there're not going to buy a 45 single or request it on the radio if the don't like that song When you judge a song ,you have to look at the time frame that it came out..That's not easy sometimes . Many times one needs to hear a song more than once . And even if you don't like a song It doesn't mean it's a bad song .How it does on the radio and in sales will determine that. Here is a fact about Breathers songs . Every Beatle song has been covered . People don't cover bad songs . As far as the Yellow Submarine song, it was for a Beatles cartoon and somewhat of a ships drinking song..I can see how many would not like it but it was covered from 1966 to 2020 , 88 times and in a number of countries . So let's call it a hit or miss song .not a bad or good song.

They didn’t sound like anyone else. You can certainly hear their influences, but they still did not sound like any of those artists. Do you realize how unusual that really is? Think about it: How many bands or individual performers sound completely unique and distinctive? Not many. That’s why those who are have our respect. It’s not as common as some people think.

    Gabe has no appreciation of historical context. He would listen to the earliest guitar music such as Robert Johnson and just simply say it's crap. You shouldn't judge older music just by today's standards. Instead try to understand the culture of society from all those years ago. Understand that a lot of the music by the Beatles was written while they were on drugs. World War II had devestated the western world for years and the Beatles gave people a reason to get up, dance and try new things. They used new technology and changed the way music was written. They changed the planet and the youth. Don't compare the Beatles to your Dr Dre or Jay Z. It was a different time!

    These reactions really annoy me. Listening to anything for the first time is difficult. There’s a lot that gets missed the first time and songs can grow upon listening further. The Beatles story is impressive in order because they grew with each album. There’s a reason why they were universally loved. It’s a shame you can’t learn about them and why they are important as opposed to reacting to random songs from their catalogue. There’s no way any artist you like Gabe has the same story, skill or influence.
