"Yellow Submarine" is a song composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the Beatles. It was released on August 5, 1966, as a single and later included on the album "Revolver." The song was inspired by a drawing by McCartney's friend, John Dunbar, of a yellow submarine. The song's lyrics describe a fantastical journey in a yellow submarine, encountering strange creatures and sights along the way. The song's premiere was on the television program "Our World," which was broadcast live on June 25, 1967, to an estimated global audience of 400 million people. The Beatles did not perform the song live, but instead, a pre-recorded video was shown featuring animated characters from the upcoming film "Yellow Submarine." "Yellow Submarine" has a simple, catchy melody and features a prominent bassline played by McCartney. The song's arrangement includes sound effects such as bubbles and seagulls, adding to the whimsical nature of the song. The lyrics are playful and imaginative, with lines such as "We all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine." The song's popularity led to the creation of an animated film of the same name, released in 1968. The film features the Beatles' music and tells the story of a group of creatures called the Blue Meanies who threaten the peaceful inhabitants of Pepperland. The Beatles are recruited to help save Pepperland and embark on a journey in the yellow submarine. "Yellow Submarine" is a classic example of the Beatles' experimentation with different genres and styles of music. The song's lighthearted lyrics and catchy melody have made it a beloved classic, and its inclusion in the film of the same name has cemented its place in pop culture history.
