We All Live in A Yellow Submarine
Yellow Submarine, Yellow Submarine
–Yellow Submarine, The Beatles
Yellow Submarine was a song, an album and an animated movie. The song was released in 1966. The movie was released in 1968.
First youtube is the Beatle’s song Yellow Submarine. Beatle’s drummer Ringo Star has the lead vocals on this. Paul McCartney wrote the song specifically for Ringo because he was always good with children. (Yes, it is really a children’s song.)
After the jump, the theatrical trailer from the film Yellow Submarine. During this period, “Swinging London” was awash in marijuana, LSD and other mind-altering drugs. The influence of psychodelic drugs on the characters, the story and the imagery in Yellow Submarine is quite evident. Some parents woudn’t let their children go see the movie fearing they would want to get turned on. Actually many of them did experiment with drugs because of the Beatle’s influence.
The Beatles: YELLOW SUBMARINE
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 on to the sun
Till we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
We all live in yellow submarine
yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in yellow submarine
yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
(Trumpets)
We all live in yellow submarine
yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in yellow submarine
yellow submarine, yellow submarine
(Full speed ahead, Mr. Barkley, full speed ahead!
Full speed over here, sir!
All together! All together!
Aye, aye, sir, fire!
Captain! Captain!)
As we live a life of ease (life of ease)
Every one of us (every one of us) has all we need (has all we need)
Sky of blue,(sky of blue) and sea of green (sea of green)
In our yellow (In our yellow) submarine (submarine) ( Haha! )
We all live in yellow submarine
yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in yellow submarine
yellow submarine, yellow submarine
