Not true! There is rare footage of the Fab Four performing feats of superhuman strength, including lifting a battleship overhead. On second thought, I think that might have been a Popeye cartoon.
Imagine a band so good that they considered this to be a throwaway song. Any other band in history would be on their knees thanking the muse for giving them this rock n roll masterpiece
Paul was good but if you read the lyrics to this song it's... just amazing. John had the edginess. Paul could write too but nowhere in John's orbit. Fabulous band.
@@bobmitchell5832 110% agree. John was the genius in this fabulous group period regardless if Paul had 1000 hits with nothing but mainstream love songs during & after the Beatles.
@@lgaytan65Paul was the one making innovative and experimental music post Beatles while John stuck to basic rock, pop, and blues. John barely experimented at all post Beatles while Paul helped to pioneer several genres. He proved who the real genius in the Beatles was. Without Paul, John would have went nowhere and got stuck doing skiffle music. John’s songwriting is good at the barebones level, but he had no idea what to do in the studio without Paul, George Martin, and Geoff Emerick
@@ewest14 I'm sorry, but completely disagree. Paul was & still is the love ballad songwriter & his music has always been very mainstream. John's "Norwegian Wood" was the 1st song that broke away from the traditional love songs they were writing in the early years. John was by far the deep lyrics song writer & genius of the group. Don't get me wrong, Paul is a good love song writer, but for a reason John was called the Bob Dylan of the group. Paul hasn't had anything of substance since the 1980's because the love ballad is no longer is what's popular, & John's style of music would've been way more relevant even in today's modern music. It's just a shame John left us at a very young 40 years of age since he had so much more great music to give this world, & truly believe he would've adjusted more to the music scene today than Paul.
That seems right. They had no stress of touring, and this was before rishikesh, so they hadn’t formed the cracks and arguments that they did. They were allowed to be as free, creative, and happy as they wanted.
Definitely the last bits of them working as a wholesome group. Sgt Pepper had some creative disputes, which came along with John & Paul writing their songs separately 95% of the time, but there weren't any big issues. This was probably the last group hoorah before the permanent cracks were made.
not really. i f that was the case someone would have covered it. it is a uniquely beatles song. how the song fits in with some of their other songs and the personalities of the band members makes it special.
@@aljabirxiju9475 It's been covered a ton of times. Not sure it's uniquely "Beatles" though. The Beatles were so eclectic everything from dancehall music to psychedelic, to arguably the first heavy metal song, to ballad...country. What's uniquely Beatles? You can imagine the Stones doing this. Lennon said it was "a good-sounding record that means nothing" Whatever...but it's a great song.
It's because it's on a pretty awful album that didn't sell well and is full of background music to a movie the beatles barely had a say in... Shame Really this on the white album would of been a true classic
I agree with the guy who said it was part of an awful album. Heck it was just to promote their movie. But this song is one of Their most rockiest songs they’ve ever written. Better than most of their early stuff.

His solo is probably his best, and I agree this could be Macca’s best bassline, Ringo perfect as always (love the drum sound change up on the chorus), killer piano riff from John in the chorus as well
Great to see them just messing around like Schoolboys here. Looks like John was trippin and Paul was trying to be professional, because It was the Lady Madonna recording session aswell. But by the end, John dragged Paul into his own level of degeneracy 🤣

The only band at this time of my life, (imo) who comes close to the perfection of the Beatles is a Russian Tribute band - Leonid and Friends.

Killer bass. George's distorted guitar break. John's rasping vocals. I have no idea what the lyrics were meant to imply but those lines 'you think you know me but you haven't got a clue. you can talk to me, if your lonely you can talk to me' gets me every time.
Geoff Emerick stated very clearly that George played the lead. It stood out in his memory because he said it was one of the few times that George nailed it right away. This is what Geoff wrote in his book: "[It was] one of the few times that he nailed it right away,” he wrote in his 2006 memoir, Here, There and Everywhere. “His amp was turned up really loud, and he used one of his new fuzz boxes, which made his guitar absolutely scream.” "He" was George.
Yes! Dude, if anyone thinks Lennon and McCartney's voices have the melody in this song, they are wrong. It's the bass that carries the melody! Outstanding playing by Paul.
BrazilianTVHD Pau Said that he often wrote the bass line after the rest of the tune had been worked out. Not sure if that's standard practise, not being a musician myself. He said it allowed hime to get the full range for the bas into each track.
There was to much talent in this band for them to stay together . I can’t adequately put into words how great it was to grow up with The Beatles as the soundtrack of my youth . Good lord how I love The Beatles
everyone here talking about pauls bass and georges guitar but like I never see the ringo appreciation, the opening fill is perfect for the song and so is the rest give my man ringo the attention he deserves!
That's the point. I can only speak from playing in a band as a bassist but when the band are all happy and they are with a killer drummer who lays it all down for the band to walk on. Steve Gadd would have that exactly the same as Ringo even without ever hearing it before - he's another freak. Never wastes a hit yet he has a 50TB larder full of them. I suppose that might upset those who are big on singling out certain players for prominence? nah, I don't get it, it's just four quarters to a pint, equal all the time.
The second verse is the genius of John Lennon encapsulated: “Some kind of innocence is measured out in years; You don’t know what it’s like to listen to your fears” - BRILLIANT!
Lennon was well known for juxtaposing nonsensical terms. See his book 'In his own Write'. Excerpt: "‘I was bored on the 9th Octover 1940 when, I believe, the Nasties were still booming us led by Madalf Heatlump (Who only had one). Anyway they didn’t get me. I attended to varicous schools in Liddypol. And still didn’t pass-much to my Aunties supplies." I'm not sure it qualifies as 'genious' quality. It is goose for a loaf thus.
@HEMAN is a JEDI They all received MBEs in 1965 or 1966, George was the only one who showed any actual public respect for it back then. John sent his MBE back to the Queen in the 70s with a letter that pretty much read, "Kiss my ass!", and Paul got knighted in 1997. George died before he could get anything higher than the MBE, and Ringo's recently gotten his knighthood in something like December 2018.
Sort of like what Elvis did in 1957 when he first recorded and personally played an electric bass "driven" song. But yeh, Paul doing it 6 or7 years later was "revolutionary", whatever that means.
Bass forward? The piano and guitar are much more clearly heard in this. The bass is often just doubling the other lines. You have a strange point of view.
@@stickman1742this song could definitely be considered lead bass. The bass is only doubling the guitar for a certain part of the song but it’s doing so much more for most of it.
@@stickman1742 he just said the bass is great he never said it's all about Paul it just might be his favorite part about the song saying you like the piano on while my guitar gently weeps doesn't make it about Paul it's just saying you like the piano
@@stickman1742 They always do that. They feel Paul was incredibly slighted after John was killed,and actually he was tbh,but now everything is leaning the other way and John is being forgotten and Paul is being deified.
rebel98 the whole song!! the riff!!! good bass arragement but is following the great john's chords... even without bass, this would still a great song by John Lennon
@@carlostejada1479 The bass isn't even very audible. It could be removed and the song would basically sound the same. The bass line often just doubles the main riff or Lennon's vocal melody. I think most of the people on this thread talking about the great bass line don't even know what the bass line in this song is.
@@stickman1742 the bass does not just double the riff or vocal melody. The bass is very distinctive in this song and does a lot of the work. You’re just saying that because you love John but you don’t have to bring Paul’s bass down to do that.
Yellow Submarine was a sound track of George Martin music. The Beatles did not own that as an album. Capital released "Bulldog" as a single as well. Read, "Lennon,1980, Ray Coleman". It is a must for all facts regarding the Beatles & urban legend that still swirls around today. Case in point ! I trust Ray was as close as one could be to the "inner circle" for there entire career & beyond.
"Hey Bulldog" is John all the way, the lyrics scream John....but, is all of these lads working together that make this tune so memorable. Classic Beatles.
@@Blontified he would get over his whims then move on to the next step, unfortunately for him the whole world saw each step true he probably was a kid at heart or wanted to be, boyish probably on the inside which only a few got to see. J. P. R. Especially
It's in my top 3!!! I LOVE HEY BULLDOG, the problem is back in the day when it was released it NEVER got much airplay on the radio, so it has become a "deep cut" that most people haven't ever heard, unless you were a die hard Beatles fan like I am. WHEN DAVE GROHL from the FOO FiGHTERS covered it on CBS' special on the 50 th anniversary of the Beatles coming to America, I WENT NUTS!!! I was up dancing. Paul, wife Nancy, Ringo and wife Barbara, Yoko and Sean Lennon were all in the front row when he sang it and the camera focused on them several times during Hey Bulldog. IF you have never seen that show here's that clip of Dave Grohl singing it, he did great on it....ruclips.net/video/sxqzMYjjkW8/видео.html
This footage is a miracle. We get the actual video of the live recording session for what would make up the final song. This is simply unique for any Beatles song.
@@arfansthename was that the actual recording of that ?? I thought it was just a video for it... I guess I thought it was the recording then convinced myself it was just for the video...
His voice was the greatest, singing talking laughing giggling howling screaming whispering I could listen to it forever and never tire of it. Supernatural.Unlike any other.
@@sharonc9348-f7e I always felt there was an urgency to his voice that immediately draws you to what he's saying. He was the one who kept the Beatles rocking!
Greatest rock and roller and greatest singer in rock. Incredibly versatile, emotive and UNIQUE. Paul is a genius. Paul is a great singer. Paul is a great songwriter. John blows him away.

2:48 "That's it, man! WOOO!!!! That's it! You've got it!" Even when the band was starting to come apart at the seams, this was a genuine moment of excellence as well as camaraderie and mutual understanding for what everyone wanted at the time. This song was one hell of a way to head off on the path to immortality.
I’m not sure the band was starting to “come apart at the seams” in February of ‘68 although this session marked the first time Yoko was present in the studio with the boys, an admittedly ominous sign.
@grapefruitjuice If Yoko was present, the decay was in full swing. She didn't have a string tied around him yet but.... Do images of Yoko in the studio for this session exist? Never seen them. The family photo of J, C & J with the Chihuahua in the Hunter Davies book is from this era....mutton chop sidies.....that smiling image is captured and John is more than likely thinking about Yolo as the flash goes off....sigh
Absolutely true. Still one of my fav Lennon songs, maybe one of my fav Beatle songs. Yes is was a "Lennon McCartney" song, but it was a Lennon song. Paul's bass was a huge addition, so yes, "Lennon McCartney"

Ok I genuinely don’t know what I’d do without the music from the Beatles because whenever I am getting anxiety or having hard day this is makes truly makes me feel better. I will be listening to the Beatles until I take my last breath. And hopefully that will be a long time from now cos I’m 20 years old. The GREATEST band OF all TIME! 😂
This footage is solid gold, the four of them at the absolute top of their game gelling as a band. Bulldog always reminds of a bond theme for some reason, it’s an awesome track.
It is solid gold in the fact you get to see them enjoying the singing of the song not just hearing it when you play the YS CD (tucked away like so many other great tracks)
They consider this as garbage not even worth a place on a real album... not even a B Side... And it's a classic song.... with such little treasures . (John Vocals, Paul bassline...etc.). Only the Beatles can afford to let a beauty like this sleep in a an obscur album !!!
That main riff is just a uncadenced instrumental version of the melody and rhythm of the "lonely you can talk to me" lyric, so it would have come naturally from the song. Much good music is driven by the lyrical rhythms of people with something to say, and I think this was more true of John than Paul.
@@MickyRichards Many of their non-hits were masterpieces themselves. Other bands would have envied having written and performed them. "The Night Before" comes to mind and is a favorite of mine. The Beatles were incredible and still are to me.
Not only that, he adds an almost vocal, harmony like quality to every beat. And when the heavier drumming comes in at you can talk to me, it echoes so epically.

Killer bass. George's distorted guitar break. John's rasping vocals. I have no idea what the lyrics were meant to imply but those lines 'you think you know me but you haven't got a clue. you can talk to me, if your lonely you can talk to me' gets me every time.
John played the lead
its for paul
tbh, no-one really knows who played the guitar solo.
@@eyeslander true. Not ever clear who really played the break.
Geoff Emerick stated very clearly that George played the lead. It stood out in his memory because he said it was one of the few times that George nailed it right away. This is what Geoff wrote in his book:
"[It was] one of the few times that he nailed it right away,” he wrote in his 2006 memoir, Here, There and Everywhere. “His amp was turned up really loud, and he used one of his new fuzz boxes, which made his guitar absolutely scream.”
"He" was George.
60 years ago and still feels not only fresh, but still ahead of its time.
Very few bands get near.
Agree 100 percent. Once in a lifetime band. Many lifetimes. Classic, timeless, unique, unequaled, transcendent. Glad I was around for all of it.
Um, actually it was 56 years ago🤓
But actually tho it is a masterpiece lol
No bands get near
"Still ahead of its time" is a bit of a hypebole seeing how the 70's and 80's were the golden age of heavy rock.
55 years ago
Paul's bass on this was top-notch.
I feel that this was remixed for YT and the bass brought forward. Anyone know?
BrazilianTVHD His bass is just plain nasty on so many of their songs. One of the most underrated bassists ever.
Yes! Dude, if anyone thinks Lennon and McCartney's voices have the melody in this song, they are wrong. It's the bass that carries the melody! Outstanding playing by Paul.
BrazilianTVHD Pau
Said that he often wrote the bass line after the rest of the tune had been worked out. Not sure if that's standard practise, not being a musician myself. He said it allowed hime to get the full range for the bas into each track.
+Kenneth Floyd ~ You got that right sir!
There was to much talent in this band for them to stay together . I can’t adequately put into words how great it was to grow up with The Beatles as the soundtrack of my youth . Good lord how I love The Beatles
When John's voice changes pitch for the You can talk to me line is just heavenly.
The 1 & Only
It’s unreal and amazing and wonderful to hear. What a legend
everyone here talking about pauls bass and georges guitar but like I never see the ringo appreciation, the opening fill is perfect for the song and so is the rest give my man ringo the attention he deserves!
I often tune into just the drums.
That's the point. I can only speak from playing in a band as a bassist but when the band are all happy and they are with a killer drummer who lays it all down for the band to walk on. Steve Gadd would have that exactly the same as Ringo even without ever hearing it before - he's another freak. Never wastes a hit yet he has a 50TB larder full of them. I suppose that might upset those who are big on singling out certain players for prominence? nah, I don't get it, it's just four quarters to a pint, equal all the time.
@Robert Wilson couldnt have said it better and who better to do it than ringo
@@stephenrenshall8408 they were all equally as amazing, I just find the ringo appreciation not as prevalent :)
YEAH
The second verse is the genius of John Lennon encapsulated: “Some kind of innocence is measured out in years; You don’t know what it’s like to listen to your fears” - BRILLIANT!
Howard Walton Amen❤️❤️
He really was a poet!
Gab * in Paul’s voice * we ain’t written no poetry
Jotaro Kujo HAHAH
Lennon was well known for juxtaposing nonsensical terms. See his book 'In his own Write'. Excerpt:
"‘I was bored on the 9th Octover 1940 when, I believe, the Nasties were still booming us led by Madalf Heatlump (Who only had one). Anyway they didn’t get me. I attended to varicous schools in Liddypol. And still didn’t pass-much to my Aunties supplies."
I'm not sure it qualifies as 'genious' quality. It is goose for a loaf thus.
The "tone" on Paul's bass is outstanding
Harrison’s solo is utter genius. Totally individual, unpredictable and hooky
Best part of the song no doubt
After the bass lines, then the guitar solo! But first, the song itself. Man I love this song.
...except it's in John's style and I think it's John.
Wes Clark . No , definitely George . Geoff Emerick the engineer said George came up with the solo and nailed it first time
@@BegoneJonah it's more georges style. It might be eligible for a McCartney style, but Lennon doesn't sound to my ears
John's piano, George's guitar, Paul's bass, Ringo's drumming and Sir George Martin's production make this one wicked song.
And Geoff Emerick's engineering! That sound...
and John's ideas and creativity
and John and Paul's harmonies
@HEMAN is a JEDI They all received MBEs in 1965 or 1966, George was the only one who showed any actual public respect for it back then. John sent his MBE back to the Queen in the 70s with a letter that pretty much read, "Kiss my ass!", and Paul got knighted in 1997. George died before he could get anything higher than the MBE, and Ringo's recently gotten his knighthood in something like December 2018.
And John played guitar too, along with George
This is a hidden gem of the Beatles
Exactly-listen to the bass-guitar-the vocals...and to the Beatles it was just another song.
Hidden??????????
Yes I also think the same about the song “Rain”
@@flyboy747uk i love rain
Really? I found it rather easily.
Still crushing it. Woke up this morning with that bass in my head and had to have a shot of Bulldog. Incredible.
So many Beatles songs have a bass-forward arrangement like this. Paul was truly revolutionary as far as the role of the bass went.
Sort of like what Elvis did in 1957 when he first recorded and personally played an electric bass "driven" song. But yeh, Paul doing it 6 or7 years later was "revolutionary", whatever that means.
Bass forward? The piano and guitar are much more clearly heard in this. The bass is often just doubling the other lines. You have a strange point of view.
@@stickman1742 Not in terms of volume but being relatively busy note-wise.
@@stickman1742this song could definitely be considered lead bass. The bass is only doubling the guitar for a certain part of the song but it’s doing so much more for most of it.
@@icanfartloud , the "so many songs" is the _revolutionary_ part.
Greatest rock bass line ever. Plus the coolest "rubbery" tone on the bass. Cant imagine how that was recorded. Also lennons voice in perfect form.
Estas exagerando, es lo ke debia hacerse.
A tube mic 8-10 feet away.
The bass is just incredible.
Paul McCartney himself is just a musical legend.
And that killer riff is pretty great too.
They're all fucking legends. This band is a fucking miracle tbh

It is indeed!!! Along with "Being for the benefit of Mr. Kite", this is one of my favourite McCartney' s bassline! Absolutely stunning!

@@stickman1742 he just said the bass is great he never said it's all about Paul it just might be his favorite part about the song
saying you like the piano on while my guitar gently weeps doesn't make it about Paul it's just saying you like the piano
@@stickman1742 They always do that. They feel Paul was incredibly slighted after John was killed,and actually he was tbh,but now everything is leaning the other way and John is being forgotten and Paul is being deified.

HELL YEA. constantly on the beatle journey. from pop to music kings in 7 years

What an insane bass player Paul is.
So melodic and ALL over the place in time, tone and tune.
Yeah his bass 'dances'...
He may be the best ever just playing "lead bass" haha
And at the same time, never losing the 'groove'... absolutely top notch work. I love this track
Bass on this song is nuts. Most of the sound in the verse is piano, vocal, and the bass hitting every possible hole.
the three 't's
This song will only get more popular as time goes on, believe me.
Absolutely!
That bass line alone deserves 100 millions views. Legendary.
rebel98
great John's song..,!!!
rebel98
the whole song!! the riff!!! good bass arragement but is following the great john's chords...
even without bass, this would still a great song by John Lennon
@@carlostejada1479 The bass isn't even very audible. It could be removed and the song would basically sound the same. The bass line often just doubles the main riff or Lennon's vocal melody. I think most of the people on this thread talking about the great bass line don't even know what the bass line in this song is.
@@stickman1742 the bass does not just double the riff or vocal melody. The bass is very distinctive in this song and does a lot of the work. You’re just saying that because you love John but you don’t have to bring Paul’s bass down to do that.
Paul's thing helps keep it syncopated.
Hey Bulldog like so many other album tracks is a hidden gem of a song. Great guitar work; especially the bass line!
Not an album track. The other side of this"45" was "You Know My Name. Look Up The #. Another gem but more silly.
+TheMkarr this song was on the yellow submarine album
Yellow Submarine was a sound track of George Martin music. The Beatles did not own that as an album. Capital released "Bulldog" as a single as well. Read, "Lennon,1980, Ray Coleman". It is a must for all facts regarding the Beatles & urban legend that still swirls around today. Case in point ! I trust Ray was as close as one could be to the "inner circle" for there entire career & beyond.
+TheMkarr yellow submarine is definitely counted as an album
TheMkarr Stfu you moron it counts as an album and has been included in the discography and timeline as an album ever since it was released...
"Hey Bulldog" is John all the way, the lyrics scream John....but, is all of these lads working together that make this tune so memorable. Classic Beatles.
Working class heroes (,ha ha )
@@rosemarie92123 They all came from the working class except for John.
@@jamesdunn9714 was just using the song as a part of a reaction , that all, but i do realize the different upbringing they had , thanks for the info
John never recovered his boyishness after about here.
@@Blontified he would get over his whims then move on to the next step, unfortunately for him the whole world saw each step true he probably was a kid at heart or wanted to be, boyish probably on the inside which only a few got to see. J. P. R. Especially

Most underrated Beatles song. Should be in every top ten.
Alright you know what im gonna be honest, you are correct
It's in my top 3!!! I LOVE HEY BULLDOG, the problem is back in the day when it was released it NEVER got much airplay on the radio, so it has become a "deep cut" that most people haven't ever heard, unless you were a die hard Beatles fan like I am. WHEN DAVE GROHL from the FOO FiGHTERS covered it on CBS' special on the 50 th anniversary of the Beatles coming to America, I WENT NUTS!!! I was up dancing. Paul, wife Nancy, Ringo and wife Barbara, Yoko and Sean Lennon were all in the front row when he sang it and the camera focused on them several times during Hey Bulldog. IF you have never seen that show here's that clip of Dave Grohl singing it, he did great on it....ruclips.net/video/sxqzMYjjkW8/видео.html

Fabulous guitar solo from George, that was chilling! Even Brian May said he is supremely underrated as a guitarist.
George is great
@@thebeatlesandqueen8817 eh.
My two favs ❤
Agreed. George's solo here is an interesting, complexly-chorded mixup of rhythm and lead that takes the song to the next level.
Thank you for this answer. I know Brian May is one of the Top 4 Guitar players in the world.
John's voice is great, we know that already, but hey... What a voice!!
His voice is one of the best in not just rock'n'roll, but of all time.
His voice was the greatest, singing talking laughing giggling howling screaming whispering I could listen to it forever and never tire of it. Supernatural.Unlike any other.
@@sharonc9348-f7e I always felt there was an urgency to his voice that immediately draws you to what he's saying. He was the one who kept the Beatles rocking!

Even when the band was starting to come apart at the seams, this was a genuine moment of excellence as well as camaraderie and mutual understanding for what everyone wanted at the time.
This song was one hell of a way to head off on the path to immortality.
I’m not sure the band was starting to “come apart at the seams” in February of ‘68 although this session marked the first time Yoko was present in the studio with the boys, an admittedly ominous sign.
@@CBrolley this is just before they left for India and when they came back John left Cynthia and the decline began
@@CBrolley No, she wasn't there.
@grapefruitjuice
If Yoko was present, the decay was in full swing. She didn't have a string tied around him yet but....
Do images of Yoko in the studio for this session exist? Never seen them.
The family photo of J, C & J with the Chihuahua in the Hunter Davies book is from this era....mutton chop sidies.....that smiling image is captured and John is more than likely thinking about Yolo as the flash goes off....sigh
this song was recorded around the end of the band's golden years, i believe they were still in a good relationship with each other at this point
For any other band this would be their most famous song.
For the Beatles it's a throwaway filler for a cartoon.
In John's words: "a good sounding record that means nothing"
Damn, you're right
Absolutely true. Still one of my fav Lennon songs, maybe one of my fav Beatle songs. Yes is was a "Lennon McCartney" song, but it was a Lennon song. Paul's bass was a huge addition, so yes, "Lennon McCartney"
& Paul played the guitar solo as well.

That main riff is just a uncadenced instrumental version of the melody and rhythm of the "lonely you can talk to me" lyric, so it would have come naturally from the song. Much good music is driven by the lyrical rhythms of people with something to say, and I think this was more true of John than Paul.
And this was a "throwaway" song. Incredible.
This is definitely not a throwaway. You can tell that a lot of work went into it.
@@user-yz9kz6vt9y Agree completely. I think Paul called it that. Still amazing to me.
@@BrianKliewer well it was music for the yellow submarine film. many of the songs were cuts not used in previous albums

Lol
First time listening to this song:mind blown.1 of the most intelligent songs I've ever heard.Lennon has the greatest voice.
a mention for Ringo's great timekeeping.he drives this song.
Most people don't realize how important a drummer who could keep a reliable tempo was, especially with pre-mid-1980s recordings (before click-track).
Not only that, he adds an almost vocal, harmony like quality to every beat. And when the heavier drumming comes in at you can talk to me, it echoes so epically.
JTNashville So so true
