When you listen to the outtakes, even knowing the beauty of that John version, you know why Ringo ended up singing it. But it’s beautiful in a way, where you realize that there’s so much depth behind it. I said to Paul, ‘I always thought this was a song that you wrote and gave to Ringo and that John was like, ‘Oh, bloody “Yellow Submarine.”‘ Not at all. “I had no idea until I started going through the outtakes. Paul’s title…written for Ringo.” – John Lennon We virtually made the track come alive in the studio, but based on Paul’s inspiration.

The lyrics got more and more obscure as it goes on, but the chorus, melody and verses are mine.” – Paul McCartney

It was pretty much my song as I recall…I think John helped out. “I was laying in bed in the Asher’s garret…I was thinking of it as a song for Ringo, which it eventually turned out to be, so I wrote it as not too rangey in the vocal, then started making a story, sort of an ancient mariner, telling the young kids where he’d lived. And there’s nothing more to be read into it than there is in the lyrics of any children’s song.” – Paul McCartney You know, it was just… We were trying to write a children’s song. “John and Paul have written a song which they think is for me but if I mess it up then we might have to find another country-and-western song off somebody else’s LP.” – Ringo Starr It was an extremely rare instance of an original Beatles master recording used in a non-Beatles ad. In February, 2023, the original master recording of Yellow Submarine was used in an Airnb commercial that ran during the Super Bowl promoting the Airbnb Categories campaign. The cash register sound effect was from the famous special effects closet at Abbey Road Studios and was used in 1973 on Money by Pink Floyd. Sound effects and background chatter were provided by Neil Aspinall, Pattie Boyd, Mal Evans, Marianne Faithfull, Brian Jones, and chauffeur Alf Bicknell (laughter, clinking glasses, etc.) Famous cash register Also, all of John’s “reply” lines were panned and faded from right to left and the sound effects were more pronounced in that version. It was included on their 1966 album Revolver and issued as a single, coupled with 'Eleanor Rigby'. No longer themain motivation fora Beatlesmovie, Yellow Submarine's soundtrack album would. The Beatles About Yellow Submarine 'Yellow Submarine' is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, with lead vocals by Ringo Starr. In the remixed version of the song appearing on the Yellow Submarine Songtrack, John Lennon’s “echo” of Ringo’s line “a life of ease” was included, whereas it did not appear in the original mix. The Beatles' newalbum alsoinformed the moviesoundtrack. A version of the song with this introduction was included on the Real Love single in 1996. He explained in 1966, Yellow Submarine is very simple but very different. A spoken-word introduction was recorded by Ringo Starr but was ultimately abandoned.
