yellow sub while not my fave is definately a beatles fun song.i don't think it was intended to be a hit but a comedy song of sorts....
Despite what Paul says these days, YELLOW SUB was not regarded as a children's song or a fun song when it came out in 1966. There's something sad about the song. I've never been able to explain it. Perhaps it's a song about retreat, and protecting yourself from the world. I don't know.
Have you ever heard children singing it properly, not just the chorus: "In the town where I was born/lived a man who sailed to sea/and he told us of his life/in the land of submarines/so we sailed out to the sun/till we found the sea of green/and we live beneath the waves/in our yellow submarine". I tell you, when children sing those words, it is VERY SPOOKY.
I had to sing Yellow Submarine for the school's Spring Concert once, when I used to be in the choir. I didn't really think much of it, but then again I was only 10.
You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.
Get Back,Michelle,Hello Goodbye,Lady Madonna,Can't Buy Me Love,Yesterday,and Paperback Writer are all overrated. They're great songs,but not as great as many underrated Beatles songs-like I'm So Tired,If I Fell,This Boy,Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite,Rain,And Your Bird Can Sing,or She Said,She Said. I'd take any of the latter group over all of the former.
The Long and Winding Road. =\ You see it all over those musical clocks, stuff like that. It's pretty dull, to me.
...Yellow Submarine needs more love. <3 It's awesome. Ringo's vocals aren't the greatest ('s-*voicecrack*-lubmarine'), but...wow. Really original, yellow submarines and all that jazz.
Things they do look awful c-c-cold... yeah,I hope I die before I get old.
