The Beatles are the only band you could never make a good compilation album. They have so many great songs you'd need some 9 or 10 CDs for it. The only band I know whose lesser known tunes and non-single songs are just as good as (or even better than) the more commercial/mainstream A-sides.
Best just buy their whole discography.
By far, the greatest music artists of the XX Century.
I always notice that Paul's bass lines were so much better when he is not singing lead. This may be the best Beatles song for bass. Everybodys Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey has great bass lines also.
First session that John brought Yoko to. In many ways, this was the peak of the Beatles as it all started going down from here. Look at how together Paul and John were. You'd be hard pressed to find another video with this much unity again. I don't think Yoko broke up the Beatles, but I think her presence was a factor that started to break apart the unity of John and Paul and started putting some chinks in the Beatles armor. Always appreciate this video because of the history behind it.
If you enjoy this, you have to read Martin Rots' new book - The Beatles: Behind Closed Doors - so many great stories you have never heard before... THeWoodstockConspiracy . com
One can only imagine how The Beatles might have evolved in their music before they self destructed. I think they were making their best music at the end of their time together. I love Hey Bulldog because it is just a rough and mean song. I still remember buying the soundtrack back in the seventies and listening to the songs one side 1 and then the creepy George Martin instrumentals on side 2.
i'm so glad someone caught them in the studio; this captures what i've always loved about the beatles, their alive-ness, their sense of exuberance, joy, mixed with insane invention. like a perfect bouquet to the world, saying "here, i made this for you." sigh.
@nysdgiants As much as I love REM musically, I always thought Stipe's comments regarding The Beatles to be ridiculous. He states Big Star as an REM influence, and they were definitely influenced by The Beatles.
John Lennon sang bulldog,when Paul had written bull frog.Hell bullfrog is mentioned in the first verse still,but when it came time for the chorus bulldog was uttered instead.Being the geniuses they were they kept rolling,and the rest is history!That is why they are laughing and acting so silly at the end of this tune.Every song is amazing.EVERY SONG!Hard to fathom aint it
@sawfish111 I think you have been mislead. Paul wrote the bassline and therefore played it. When george herd john play what he wanted to hear george play, he immidatly masterd the riff.
This song was radical for the time. The suits wanted more She Loves You but John was in his drug garden. None of us really liked this sound at the time, we wanted that same smooth sound. It took us a long time to get used to it. Thank you, John.
Can any fellow Beatles nerds answer this: I always thought that this was one of the songs in which George didn't play lead, though I heard different theories as to whether it was John or Paul. But Geoff Emerick reckons it was George, and he seems pretty thorough in his recollections (though there are a couple of tiny things he gets wrong). The video would have you believe it was George, but that means nothing; directors and cameramen are always getting these things wrong. Anyone know for sure?

Hey Jude is a great song but I'm so sick of hearing it & Let It Be as well. Give me Hey Bulldog, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Baby You're a Rich Man. These are waaay better than a lot of Paul's stuff!
& Across the Universe was shelved until it was 1st released on the World Wildlife Fund lp & that's when the bird effects were added. Spector took it & did what Paul does good, turned it into a bloody commercial 'hit'. I like the orig. & the version on the "Let It Be...Naked" lp/cd.
John didn't think Across the Universe was yet 'complete'. & he liked 'Inner Light' as a worthy B-side. John specifically wrote Bulldog for the Yellow Sub movie. I never get tired of hearing this! One of my all-time faves! A very underrated song!
DavidGigg Ending the discussion. You are completely right. " Lady Madonna" was already completed, but -- Lennon wanted "Hey Bulldog" as single instead. (Geoff Emerick´s book page 223).

strangecluesinfriday Thank you, at last somebody who is well informed. You are 100 % right. Of the 52 songs 1962-1965, up included Yesterday, Lennon had composed, or was the primary composer, of 27 songs, and co-composer of 10. McCartney had 11. But nobody knew. When Yesterday was released 1965, George Martin and McCartney did the coup of the century! They made people for many many years believe that McCartney was the Beatles composer. It´s strange, nobody writes about it.
whatswithgus No, it´s not McCartney starting the barking, it´s Lennon. Wikipedia has no authority for it´s statement.
This is the first rap song, ackording to my point of view. If there is something good-new-special in the Beatles, and the establishment is unsure ---- then they always guess it´s McCartney.
According to Wikipedia, "During the recording, Paul McCartney started to bark without warning. The next lines, initially written as "Hey bullfrog", were changed mid-song to "Hey bulldog", which would become the song's title."
OK, I can understand that. What I don't understand is why Paul suddenly started barking. Has anyone ever explained that?
jasonlloyd33 Yes it´s a great book. It´s better than its reputation. Goldman is even the first one who has analysed a lot of Lennon´s music. Goldman does not only compare with other rock music, but even with folk music and "classical" music.
But how do you put in Lennon´s eventual homosexuality? Was this the reason why he was so depressed during the last years with the Beatles? Not that nobody knew he was a composer, only McCartney?
@Johan93888 the man was so depressed in the final years because the horrid pressure of going on with the facade with Paul's IMPOSTER REPLACEMENT was getting to be more than he could bear.The other TWO Beatles felt the same way.And breakup was the DIRECT result of them NOT want to continue with this incredible LIE any longer.And they HAD to break up because it became more than they could continue to bare.THINK ABOUT IT !

Harry Potter would have put a spell on them and melted their eyes for such a grave injustice had he not still been a seed in a sack at the time!!! But he was... Alas... He was...
Thumbs up if you are a human and you like good music, and consequently, the reason you are here reading this right now. The Beatles are not a a class of music. They *are* music. I mean really...
DavidGigg I´m sorry, I have to insist. In the book by Geoff Emerick I mentioned, in page 221 Emerick says that "Across the Universe was meant to be the B-side to "Lady Madonna" and in page 223 Lennon wanted "Hey Bulldog" to be the next single in Mars 68.
McCartney sabotaged "Across the Universe" and soon after that he stoped "Hey Bulldog", always with George Martin behind his back
I have to respond with some facts from for the definitive 'The Complete Beatles Recording sessions" (Mark Lewinsohn) who details EVERY Beatles recording session. Hey Bullog was recorded on Sunday February 11 when they were filming footage for a promo clip for Lady Madonna which has already been selected as the next single. You're correct about Across the Universe but not Hey Bulldog.
The Beatles had booked a recording studio to shoot a promo for Lady Madonna. They finished early and had booked studio time left so decided to record something. John was the only one who had a song to hand. The song got it's name when Paul starting calling it out at the end as obviously has nothing to do with the lyrics. They were contratcted to provide 4 'new' songs for Yellow Submarine and were one short so wanted to get it out of the way before leaving for India. That's why this was filmed.
zeromant I am sorry to insist. "Hey Bulldog" was already written - by Lennon - before they got into the studio. Lennon wanted it to be the A-side to the next single, instead of McCartney´s "Lady Madonna", but was stopped. (See "Here, There and Everywhere" by Geoff Emerick, 2006, page 222-223). George Martin and McCartney often kept together against Lennon. Martin mostly prefered McCartney´s more conventional songs.
@Johan93888 It all right if you insist... you are fighting for your opinnions my friend... maybe i need to re-read about beatles' bio... at least (the most important) is that such a good song was recorded in a good friendly mood (they were so negative in the white album/let it be era)
Great to see the two giants in such a friendly state, they knocked this off as an album filler and yet it is better than the majority of modern groups can achieve in a career
@bibsteenson ONE "giant".. the other is an imposter... whose day is winding down is about to be EXPOSED any day now for the "fake" he's been all these years
Actually, I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be a single, but they chose Lady Maddonna instead. I believe that's one major contributing factor between Paul and John's falling out. Choosing one of Paul's over John's compositions. Frankly, I think "Hey, Bulldog" was a better song, too. Anyhow, I totally agree. It's great to see these guys so friendly.
@mussman717word Nah, Hey, Bulldog was actually worked out and recorded in the studio at the same time they were recording the promo film for Lady Madonna. So the decision had already been made to release Lady Madonna as a single. And, while I love Hey Bulldog, there's no way I think it's better than Lady Madonna.
Hmm... you might be right, not sure. Anyhow, when comparing Beatles songs "better than" is nothing more than a humble opinion. I dig "Hey Bulldog," you dig "Lady Madonna." Both are great tunes, and nobody can deny that.
@bibsteenson Damn the weird thing for me is The Beatles is the first band I've found that doesn't have fillers. In-fact what I found the most surprising is the fact that their least popular songs are still amazing. I don't know if it's my infatuation or something, but the Beatles are literally good song after good song.
@GouledXD Right. So imagine how it was for a lot of us who literally grew up on their stuff. And devoured each new song as it was released. They blazed for six years, NEVER repeating themselves. And subsequently, were never duplicated. They are the touchstone.
I remember when I was still college age and living in Mass. that part at 2:17 would make go crazy. That part where they do that baseline line with the "HeeeeeeeyBulldog". Made me feel like I was hanging out with God and he wasn't half bad once you got to know him. I mean once you got past the part about all the trgedies he caused in every living thing that was every alive including you and me.
@222Lightning why did someone erase my comment ????????? Lennon would have like my comment !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its the people who try to make everything look nice and pretty in denial of the things in life that are scary and not pretty that really undo great thinkers in this world.
I wonder if that lyric sheet is still out there somewhere. Whoever has it knows it is worth a fortune. I heard LENNON'S ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE lyric sheet sold for a lot at an auction as after he sang it in front of MILLIONS on the TELECAST he left it on the music stand and someone picked it up and sold it years later! I would have kept it! WORTH MORE THAN THE MONEY!
thumbs up if u want to kill the guy that shot John and thumbs up if uv been listning to thm for as long as u can remember and u want them back and ur only 14 like me, or even thumbs up if u thought john lennon was still alive then cried when ur mum said some ass hole shot him
"Hey Bulldog" is a fantastic Lennon composition. The lovely melody, the wunderful Harrison - guitar solo, and the end ! The end is seemingly only screeming, but is a fantastic piece of music. Behind the caos, the guitar is playing the ten notes again and again and again and again, which gives you a hypnotic feeling. The song was aimed to bee released as a singel in Marsch 1968, but George Martin and McCartney stoped it.
@Johan93888 Hey Bulldog was meant to be written and recorded while The Beatles were being filmed for a promotional film for Lady Madonna, actually more like a "album filler" not as a single itself
Yeah, it's a great song, I've always loved it. It was considered as a single but so were a lot of later songs that weren't too great. It's not like they had a lack of songs for singles. What I love about this video is seeing them in the studio, from a period that is not as well generally documented as the early days or the Let It Be breakup. It's a shame there's not more footage of them out there during the White Album sessions or that period in general.
My friend went to a school called Birch. Their mascot is the Birch Bulldog. Guess what, they chose "Who Let The Dogs Out" to be their song. That's retarded when there's a song right here ^^
@PaddrickFancy Yeah, John's hair and skin colouring was a shade lighter than the other three. The old 8mm(?)yellows things a little. He had light-brown hair.

DavidGigg I´m sorry, I have to insist. In the book by Geoff Emerick I mentioned, in page 221 Emerick says that "Across the Universe was meant to be the B-side to "Lady Madonna" and in page 223 Lennon wanted "Hey Bulldog" to be the next single in Mars 68.
McCartney sabotaged "Across the Universe" and soon after that he stoped "Hey Bulldog", always with George Martin behind his back

I have to respond with some facts from for the definitive 'The Complete Beatles Recording sessions" (Mark Lewinsohn) who details EVERY Beatles recording session. Hey Bullog was recorded on Sunday February 11 when they were filming footage for a promo clip for Lady Madonna which has already been selected as the next single. You're correct about Across the Universe but not Hey Bulldog.
DavidGigg 2 months ago
The Beatles had booked a recording studio to shoot a promo for Lady Madonna. They finished early and had booked studio time left so decided to record something. John was the only one who had a song to hand. The song got it's name when Paul starting calling it out at the end as obviously has nothing to do with the lyrics. They were contratcted to provide 4 'new' songs for Yellow Submarine and were one short so wanted to get it out of the way before leaving for India. That's why this was filmed.

Johan93888 2 months ago
zeromant I am sorry to insist. "Hey Bulldog" was already written - by Lennon - before they got into the studio. Lennon wanted it to be the A-side to the next single, instead of McCartney´s "Lady Madonna", but was stopped. (See "Here, There and Everywhere" by Geoff Emerick, 2006, page 222-223). George Martin and McCartney often kept together against Lennon. Martin mostly prefered McCartney´s more conventional songs.

@Johan93888
The correct fact is that song Lennon wanted for the next single was 'Across the Universe' , not Hey Bulldog.
DavidGigg 2 months ago
@Johan93888 It all right if you insist... you are fighting for your opinnions my friend... maybe i need to re-read about beatles' bio... at least (the most important) is that such a good song was recorded in a good friendly mood (they were so negative in the white album/let it be era)

Actually, I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be a single, but they chose Lady Maddonna instead. I believe that's one major contributing factor between Paul and John's falling out. Choosing one of Paul's over John's compositions. Frankly, I think "Hey, Bulldog" was a better song, too. Anyhow, I totally agree. It's great to see these guys so friendly.
mussman717word 2 months ago
@mussman717word Nah, Hey, Bulldog was actually worked out and recorded in the studio at the same time they were recording the promo film for Lady Madonna. So the decision had already been made to release Lady Madonna as a single. And, while I love Hey Bulldog, there's no way I think it's better than Lady Madonna.

Hmm... you might be right, not sure. Anyhow, when comparing Beatles songs "better than" is nothing more than a humble opinion. I dig "Hey Bulldog," you dig "Lady Madonna." Both are great tunes, and nobody can deny that.

@bibsteenson Damn the weird thing for me is The Beatles is the first band I've found that doesn't have fillers. In-fact what I found the most surprising is the fact that their least popular songs are still amazing. I don't know if it's my infatuation or something, but the Beatles are literally good song after good song.

I remember when I was still college age and living in Mass. that part at 2:17 would make go crazy. That part where they do that baseline line with the "HeeeeeeeyBulldog". Made me feel like I was hanging out with God and he wasn't half bad once you got to know him. I mean once you got past the part about all the trgedies he caused in every living thing that was every alive including you and me.

I heard LENNON'S ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE lyric sheet sold for a lot at an auction as after he sang it in front of MILLIONS on the TELECAST he left it on the music stand and someone picked it up and sold it years later! I would have kept it! WORTH MORE THAN THE MONEY!

"Hey Bulldog" is a fantastic Lennon composition. The lovely melody, the wunderful Harrison - guitar solo, and the end ! The end is seemingly only screeming, but is a fantastic piece of music. Behind the caos, the guitar is playing the ten notes again and again and again and again, which gives you a hypnotic feeling. The song was aimed to bee released as a singel in Marsch 1968, but George Martin and McCartney stoped it.
Johan93888 3 months ago 30
@Johan93888 Hey Bulldog was meant to be written and recorded while The Beatles were being filmed for a promotional film for Lady Madonna, actually more like a "album filler" not as a single itself

Never considered for a single. You're confusing this with Across the Universe which was rejected for the March 1968 single
DavidGigg 2 months ago
Yeah, it's a great song, I've always loved it. It was considered as a single but so were a lot of later songs that weren't too great. It's not like they had a lack of songs for singles. What I love about this video is seeing them in the studio, from a period that is not as well generally documented as the early days or the Let It Be breakup. It's a shame there's not more footage of them out there during the White Album sessions or that period in general.
