I wonder how long, the NSA and or FBI pulled apart this song for coded messages.
Also this is the 50th anniversary of the film. I wonder if July 17 will have a Retro Showing of it in Berkeley somewhere.
In the DVD commentary track, Coates states that the Meanies were always intended to be coloured blue. However, Millicent McMillan recalls that the Blue Meanies were originally supposed to be red, or even purple, but when Heinz Edelmann's assistant accidentally changed the colours, the film's characters took on a different meaning.[11] Coates acknowledges in the commentary that the "are you Bluish? You don't look Bluish"[/color=blue] joke in the film is a pun on the then-contemporary expression "you don't look jedi", but that it was not intended to be derogatory.
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 up to the sun Till we found a sea of green And we lived beneath the waves In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a 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
We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
(Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead Full speed ahead it is, Sergeant. Cut the cable, drop the cable Aye, Sir, aye Captain, captain)
As we live a life of ease Every one of us has all we need Sky of blue and sea of green In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine We all live in a yellow submarine Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

I never understood why so many people liked them
Or why so many artists listed them as influences when they sounded nothing like them
I think that it just got "trendy" to like the Beatles
or the earliest years of experimental rock and sampling/mixing.
Can was a German band with a Japanese singer. listen to their album Future Days. same style. mixing moog with a sound board .. the layout is a huge table of equipment that Roland had in one small controller by the late 70s.
what about David Gilmore? do you think he was just trendy.. along with Pink Floyd? OHHHHH SEGWAY Zooooom
A live version.. check out the keyboardist setup. it just looks funner than a newer digital synth with sampling. the older analog ones were great because you could change wavepatterns and wave types and just mix in other odd peripherals being experimented with in the day.
