[nightcrawler511]

lol but if you live in the south how about the people who live more south then you? wouldn't you be considered north to those who are south then you and so on? are drugs awesome? i think the answer is yes

[thommytaranto]

My grandma showed me the movie when I was 3 or 4 and I had no idea what was going on, but it was the greatest thing that happened to me.

[isaacbateman76]

Indeed,the best album is not Sargent Peppers,Rubber Soul,Abbey Road but Revolver and The White Album :D

[maxkerby]

one person is only a southern song

[TeamMastaPr2]

Is it me or did the first organ (I think) chord sound like "Blue Jay Way"?

[azerty7889]

fact: on yellow submarine (stereo) it says only a northern song (mono)

[nightcrawler511]

i love this song but listening to it over and over again it starts to get weird

[NewspaperJoeUK]

I wish Scousers still spoke like George and John did. The accent is now bordering on ridiculous. Well in George, la!

[8down10]

@NewspaperJoeUK apparently i sound like them :) im from the wirral so i have the accent but people say it sounds more upper class and (fortunately) i dont sound like im talking with a blocked throat

[claupee]

Dear George I miss you, ten years!!, R.I.P

[marbleheadband]

bite me peruvian bum boy.......back to the coca fields

[azerty7889]

please people check my lsd playlist and say what you think thx!

[marbleheadband]

me thinks the beatles far superior to other toady endeavors.......hence the term fabfour.......quite literaly the pinnacle of pop wizardry.......all other questions moot...to produce such varied material that extends to many 'different' genres in such a short period (10 yrs.) is quite amazing, as to define the entire decade of the 60's & influences far reaching to the present day......all over the known world....(with respect to mr bob dylan & others too lenghty a list to make)

[progreadicto]

@marbleheadband the issue is not who plays more genres but who plays it RIGHT, now i can take a guitar and play: roots, metal, punk, post rock, psych, etc.. and that's not say i'm a genius. there'a a lot of bands who only played one genre but in an artistic way, that is what counts. the beatles never invented genres, there were other less famous artist who "invented" them: zappa, velvet, who, dylan was making MASTERPIECES years (or months) before the FIRST good beatles album: sgt. peppers

[thearachnid09]

@progreadicto There were plenty of excellent albums before Sgt Pepper. Revolver, A Hard Days Night, Rubber Soul were all magnificent. Listen to "Tomorrow Never Knows or "Things We Said Today". Both are better than a lot of the Pepper tracks. The Beatles aren't regarded as the best because of how many genres they played but because of their magnificent songwriting. They played every genre they tried in an extremely artistic way.

[progreadicto]

@thearachnid09 i have listened all beatles catalog. (i was a huge beatles fan when i was teen) these are good songs. maybe you have to remember that songwriting is not the same that making pretty melodies with clasical or avantgarde music "arregments". the real genius behind beatles "masterpieces" was george martin. you cant compare a 3 minutes of pop ditties to really music masterpieces like in the court of the crimson sister ray, or king kong (frank zappa) (art of high level)

[progreadicto]

to commiecotch: all bands i've mentioned are far better than beatles, first: zappa created Freak out, when the beatles was making stupid songs like drive my car, when the beatles make his "masterpiece" tonmorrow never knows, dylan has made sad eyed lady of the lowlands, and 11 minutes free form surrealistic poem and incredible singing, when the beatles make Peppers The doors made The End,a song that is near from freudyan analysis and shakespeare tragedies , the differrence is OBVIOUS

[flushnex]

@progreadicto You can't compare good artists to other good artists. Taste is the eye of the beholder.

[progreadicto]

@flushnex you cant compare velvet underground with the doors for example ('cos both are at the same level) but it's obvious that you can say that a composer like frank zappa is far better than, for exmple michael jackson or prince, maybe you like both (i like both) but the music quality is completly different. i love the beatles (i love this song), but i cannot say that they are geniuses, cos i know that there are better artist (sometimes much better) than they.

[99paulmccartney]

@progreadicto You can't compare good artists.

[azerty7889]

@99paulmccartney somebody who understands it!

[redletter2008]

I knew this song was passed over for Sgt. Pepper before I heard the song. When I finally heard it I was kind of surprised. First of all, it's (IMO) easily good enough for Sgt. Pepper. The song fits the psychedelic feel of that LP and should have been included WITH Within You Without You (thus giving George his obligatory 2 cuts per LP). I like the song, its sound and sarcasm. Actually I think Sgt. Pepper is not their best work (though quite good) and this Harrisong was worthy of inclusion.

[JORDI724]

A copy of Pink Floyd... but it's beauty!

[daveseiya]

@JORDI724 I didn't get it!!!

[Carbon657]

Why is the stereo remaster in mono

[Saternoc]

@Carbon657 Look up the version from the Yellow Submarine Soundtrack-> watch?v=5AHCmdObqSo

[Dearhunter43]

This song got me through my biology studies.

[texasmarauder]

Has my vote for most psychedelic song ever. Bar none. Well, except for some Pink Floyd.

[SuperFirewire1]

@texasmarauder most psychedelic song ever? Ever listin to "The freak out album" by frank zappa? And remember that album cam out in 1965!

[progreadicto]

@SuperFirewire1 and dont forget the doors, hendrix, velvet underground, red crayola, pink floyd, etc, etc,...... there were a lot of far better psichedelic musicians than the beatles

[CommieCotch]

@progreadicto You mustve received several hefty blows to the head if you consider velvet underground or red crayola even on the Beatles radar, the others are equal possibly but not superior.

[progreadicto]

@CommieCotch of course,cause velvet underground were far from the beatles, it's like comparing beethoven with a garage band

[psicologorock32]

Horrible

[Dearhunter43]

@psicologorock32 go fuck yourself, just sayin.

[psicologorock32]

@Dearhunter43 i like beatles too... but this song is a shit

[XsbcatfangX]

When George says: "You may think the band are not quite right." I'm over here like: "'Not quite right?' As in... weird? Queer, even? ...Wait. Holy fawking bloody mother of John's gar damn cat.

//Ishouldshutupnow

[allt0gethernow]

Thank you George. :) This album is fantastic!

[bruces3]

even a leftover is top notch....

[joeselstrudel]

@GrumpyPancake cant you tell by georges lyrics that he didnt want to this to be snother "late night song" he was saying he was sick of being under estamated he wanted to be recognized for how talented he was

[TheJat70]

This song was recorded in April of 1967 Was meant for the Sgt Pepper album but left off

[edwardelricfangirl1]

@TheJat70 i know i could see this on Pepper but i can also see why they left it off within and without is a better song for pepper

[Powerstars321]

@edwardelricfangirl1 I actually prefer this

[edwardelricfangirl1]

@Powerstars321 same here it makes me wonder why they did,t put on pepper

[Carbon657]

If Im Listening Late At Night Dum Dum Da Da .......oh wait I am listening late at night holy cwaqamoli im all freaked out n stuff now...wow.....creepy stuff dudes

[ghostreconn1]

the south are gonna be pissed...

[edwardelricfangirl1]

@ghostreconn1 lol the North don,t have problem with it ;)

[funkmasterjee]

Vastly under rated track. One of my Beatles favorites

[19GirlBad]

i thought it was Neil Aspinall as the fifth Beatle

[IcouldBNE1]

Sounds like a lost song from Sgt. Pepper or Magical Mystery Tour

[Powerstars321]

@IcouldBNE1 It was actually a Sgt Pepper song that got cut.

[DannyLamb613]

@IcouldBNE1 I think you're right. The Yellow Submarine soundtrack was released in early 1969, but the sleeve notes on my old Yellow Submarine LP refer to an "upcoming" Beatles double album, obviously the White Album, which was released in 1968. That would mean the Yellow Submarine album was planned for release after Magical Mystery Tour. Some of the YS songs were probably composed at the same time as Sgt. Pepper and Magical Mystery Tour. Seems logical to me. Comments, Beatle-People?

[Zephyesa]

@IcouldBNE1 its from Yellow Submarine.

[AaronBuzzer]

i dig this

[Parkyurkarkas]

Actually, i meant that George H was the fifth Beatle in that he was overlooked even when he was making songs like this, hanging out off to the side.

[nightcrawler511]

@Parkyurkarkas you mean George M

[MrDarwinsDog]

George Martin was the Fifth Beatle; a brilliant sound engineer who worked with / instructed Harrison on development and finished piece. Billy Preston was the Sixth Beatle.  God, I lived on this music as a child and connected with Harrison's work and Indian music as somehow already familiar - like listening to a dream I'd already had.

[observer9670]

@MrDarwinsDog George Martin was not an engineer. He was a record producer and arranger (now retired). The Beatles had several recording engineers, including Norman "Hurricane" Smith, Phil McDonald and Geoff Emerick.

[Parkyurkarkas]

George is the fifth Beatle!

[nesfan8]

@Parkyurkarkas what do you mean

[thearachnid09]

@nesfan8 I think he meant George martin.

[MrMegamalachi]

Love it! <3 x

[1997ozmar]

Una gran canción de The Beatles muy buena canción de rock psicodelico y ácido

[Syndicate93]

It doesn't matter what clothes i were

or how I fere

or if my her i brown..

The scouser accent is so beautiful

[NateSean]

The best of all the Beatles movies was Yellow Submarine, followed closely by Help. As a child no other movie remains in my mind as firmly as watching The Yellow Submarine.

[JohnLennon903]

It doesn't really matter what chords I play, what words I say, or time of day it is - John Lennon 

[Atari2600Gamer]

@JohnLennon903 you mean george harrison

[JohnLennon903]

@Atari2600Gamer Yeah thats what I meant to say but I was thinking about John at the time and didn't realize my mistake until after I posted it. SORRY

[AlT70]

I DON'T need drugs to trip out!! Listening to this song will take me there, believe me!

[HugeDrakeBellFan]

Imagine if this had been on Pepper...

[endatter]

Love this strange song! :-)



[bluesage10]

such an under-rated song...

[progreadicto]

@bluesage10 thats true, one of the best beatles song reduced to a nothing, far better than many of their "pop hits" and overproduced extravaganzas (sgt. peppers or white album)

[Punk93Metal]

@bluesage10

Harrison was an under-rated songwriter. 

[edwardelricfangirl1]

this song is about just being yourself :D

[edwardelricfangirl1]

@hardrocker2947 this song was cut form St.pepper thats why u hear the same weird laughter

[howdoyousleepyoucunt]

number nine

[musicfreak405]

Listen to this song at night and it will creep you out!

[raintalonwindclan]

@musicfreak405 I am and it doesn't.

[riverdale999]

Love the drumming on this.

[gazrobbo53]

Good to hear the Beatles on You Tube

[imtotallyserial]

@hardrocker2947 That awkward laughter is probably George's =]

[1987Dantheman]
