    If I have my story right, Paul used to catch rides with this Nigerian cab driver in London named Jimmy Scott, who used to always used to say "obla-di, obla-da, life goes on!". Paul thought there was a song in that phrase, plus Paul's style in is song was to make up little stories. Put those two things together plus the musical contributions of the other Beatles, and you've got the song "Obla-Di Obla Da"!

      That whole Paul is dead thing was interesting, too. It seems like the Beatles didn't know where it came from, but they just jumped on the bandwagon, so to speak, and watched the album sales go up. They played along, I think especially John.

    Hey, man, the White Album will blow your mind to bits! It is wayyyyy out there! And the musicianship is them at their best. Originality, mystery and production are the three main elements of this album- their best, in my limited opinion. Each song is so different. My favorite is 'Honey Pie'. 'Dear Prudence,' 'Savoy Truffle,' 'While my guitar gently weeps'... so many good ones on the album. Some bombs, too.

      The story goes, Lennon (as well as Harrison and Starr) was unhappy that McCartney was spending countless hours trying to perfect the song. Lennon took a break and returned to the studio, still annoyed, and said, 'This is the way we're going to play it', and banged away at the piano. McCartney agreed.

      So he set the tempo, and actually the theme of the song.

      @@kentclark6420 I think that's overstating it. Listen to Paul's acoustic Esher demo, to the Take 3 version, or to the Anthology version, then the White Album version. They are all about the same tempo. They all have much the same essential sound and character even though the instrumentation changes. The piano on the final take is great and helps the rhythm, but it doesn't "set the theme of the song". If anything it's the bass that makes the biggest difference in this take.

    1968! So long ago, the style was known as "ska" as opposed to the later term "reggae" which was the term popularized in the 70's by Peter Tosh and Bob Marley.

    Lots of little voices going on in the background on this one! Love the line where Paul sings "Desmond lets the children lend a hand", and, immediately you hear John in the background say "arm!" followed by George Harrison say "leg!". Love these guys sense of humor!

    I would say more Calypso, which is another Caribbean rhythm that preceded Reggae. Great song for families and children to sing together, except for that vague drug reference, "If you want some fun, take obla-di-bla-da." But it is so clever and irresistibly catchy. Check out the final scene in the movie Tomorrow.

    The story goes that the three non-Pauls were getting weary of all the takes they were making of this song. They were doing it slower, and at some point John, high as a kite, comes in after lunch and sits at the piano and bangs out the intro just like you hear on the record and said, "This is how we're doing it." So another case of one of them improving the other one's song by making a simple change.
