Post #3 - "Yellow Submarine"

Off of their Revolver album, this song is frighteningly and sickeningly catchy and upbeat. You can understand why children (and self-prescribed Beatles fans who are teenage girls who only own the 1 compilation) will love this to death. However, this song may prompt the more hardcore (and musically mature) Beatles fan to find the nearest handgun and put a bullet into their brain. It's still a great pick-me-up song though and the little bubble sound effects are trippy.

Revolver ranks #3 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of all time, whereas Yellow Submarine charted in both the U.S. and U.K., at #2 and #1 respectively. Have you looked closely at the album cover? Weird shit, man.

Let's move forward to the video for Yellow Submarine off of YouTube. This took me an ungodly amount of time to find, because believe it or not, there's a cartoon movie for Yellow Submarine. It's a really trippy movie... probably would be awesome if you had some LSD on your hands... Oh well, enjoy!
