"Fri. 11/10/67FILMING: Filming of three promotional clips, directed by Paul, at the Saville Theater in West End, London. One had them in their "Pepper" costumes, one in their regular "hippie" clothes, and one with the Beatles in their famous collarless suits, dancing to the tune. John did the twist. The “Pepper costume" film aired on the "Ed Sullivan Show". George plays his Epiphone DE320TD Sunburst Casino guitar, John plays his Vox Custom. Aired 11/26/67 HELLO, GOODBYE S: Paul W: Paul McCartney UNK release"
"Hello, Goodbye" is a 1967 song by The Beatles. It was the Christmas single for 1967, and topped the charts in both America and Britain (where it spent seven weeks at number one). It also appeared on the American album Magical Mystery Tour.
Though the songwriting credit is Lennon-McCartney, it was written only by Paul McCartney.
Alistair Taylor, who worked for The Beatles' manager Brian Epstein, once asked McCartney how he wrote his songs, and McCartney took him into his dining room to give him a demonstration on his harmonium. He asked Taylor to shout the opposite of whatever he sang as he played the instrument. Taylor later said, "I wonder whether Paul really made up that song as he went along or whether it was running through his head already." In any case, McCartney soon had completed a demo of his newest single- originally titled "Hello Hello."
John Lennon wasn't fond of the song, which he called "three minutes of contradictions and meaningless juxtapositions." His distaste for the song grew further when it pushed "I Am the Walrus" to the B-side of the single. Though Lennon had anticipated "I Am the Walrus" being the A-side of the single, Paul McCartney and George Martin believed that "Hello, Goodbye" was the more commercial tune. This dispute started a series of debates over single releases between Lennon and McCartney which prompted Lennon to say after The Beatles' breakup, "I got sick and tired of being Paul's backup band". Lennon felt that some of his best and most innovative pieces ("I Am The Walrus", "Across the Universe") were wrongly placed as B-sides to songs he regarded as "un-worthy" ("Hello, Goodbye" and "Lady Madonna"), although he was willing to compromise with fellow songwriter McCartney during this period with songs such as "Hey Jude".
The final lines of the song, where the entire band sings "Hela, hey-ba hello-a" (the portion that plays over the end titles of the Magical Mystery Tour film) came spontaneously in the studio. When the song was released, McCartney gave a more mystical explanation of the meaning of his song in an interview with Disc: "The answer to everything is simple. It's a song about everything and nothing. If you have black you have to have white. That's the amazing thing about life."
At least three promotional videos were filmed for "Hello, Goodbye", but not aired by the BBC due to its strict rules on miming.
The song was used in an advertising campaign for Telstra's Next G network"
Hello Goodbye Filming Dates: November 10, 1967 Filming Locations: Saville Theatre in London Director: Paul McCartney
Three cuts of the video were made. One featured the Beatles in their Sgt. Pepper suits performing, with occasional shots of them in their collarless suits. The second cut was similar, however the boys were wearing regular clothes. The third cut had bits from the first two, with footage of the Beatles dancing to the tune complete with John doing the twist (very well, I might add!)
One of the three "Hello Goodbye" films was debuted in the United States on The Ed Sullivan Show on November 26, 1967; however, the others may never have been broadcast.
Due to a ban in the UK by the Musician's Union on lip-syncing, footage from Saville Theatre could not be used, since the group had lip-synced the song during much of the film. Instead, footage from the "Magical Mystery Tour" movie was shown to accompany the song. This version of the video debuted on January 11, 1968 on "Top of the Pops."
