The question was how they felt about the scrutiny they received in America, for having non-American haircuts. John said it was observable because they weren't American. It wasn't about the song, and the quote was in it 1963.
@@littlebosaMusic I got the quote from the book "Beatlemania Forever”. John was told that the USA ultra-conservatives like the John Birch society accused the Beatles of being pro-Bolshevik. He was told that some were saying Beatles music was un-American. John’s response was “That’s very observant of them.” As the Beatles were English and not American. Maybe Lennon repeated himself?? Bob Dylan was also accused and also wrote a song about it ("Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues"). The funny thing is that the song’s original title was "I’m Backing the UK" and was a parody on "Back in the USA" by Chuck Berry!
And meanwhile my father was born in the Soviet Union when this album came out. He happened to be in the midst of the rapid changes in Soviet society in his youth, played Western songs in a band, but still doesn't like The Beatles, lol
This song is a classic example of what a genius songwriter and story-teller McCartney is. Also, thanks to Mike Love for the inspiration for that middle eight. Late 60s, what a time in rock.
I'm so agree : Paul writed Yesterday, And I love her, I'm down, Eleanor Rigby, Golden slumbers...and Get to get you into my life, Back in USSR, Helter skelter, Get back, and so on Same for John . You know what : Lennon-McCartney are so great ! Born to make people happy.
Some Beatles tunes are a 10 like this one but if given a choice between one hour of Beatles or one hour of Monkeys songs...i would take the Monkey songs!
Don't know why this is one of the Beatles songs I listen to most often. The silliness? The rock energy; something less prevalent from one song to the next with the Beatles than other groups of this era. The ability to turn a Beach Boys bop into something maniacally frenetic?
For people who say the Beatles, aren’t good: Say that again when they are the Best-selling band of all time and they’re music is still living after 50 Years, this band is simply legendary.
Awesome from day one. But this song sucks. I've screamed myself hoarse , been to 3 concerts. I could be called their oldest fan. But this song still sucks.
People in the comments need to stop fighting about the Beatles and Chuck Berry - Berry loved the Beatles and the lads from Liverpool loved Berry to the same degree.
@@pauldickinson6943 they were making up 3 chord triads and adding words like taking a sht, honestly there is zero genius to rock n roll, 3 chords is all you need to know....calling the beatles genius is like throwing a raw sausage down a hallway, it just doesnt matter and neither does their music it is ephemeral
It's Paul showing badass attitude, which he doesn't do often. In this song he's like: "Man, don't mess with me; I didn't even get no sleep last night. What'chu want?"
I saw Paul and his band in Vancouver recently, where he related that when he finally got to play in USSR (Red Square) certain commissars invited themselves for an impromptu reception before the act. According to him, the Minister of Defense told him, "Pol, first record I ever buy is 'Love Me Do.'" and then somebody else told him, "Pol, we learn English from your records." Third Guy (who apparently didn't know English) says, "Pol, 'Hello, Goodbye.'"
The lads genius comes from their gods. The current Prince and power of the air used to run the music program in Heaven. When the journalist ask Bob Dylan why he had not retired he replied: You know….. The Big guy. You can’t quit!! have a nice day
I've been listening to 'Back in the U.S.S.R.' for 54 years, but this is the first time I've seen this brilliant video, presumably cleared by Paul and Ringo.

Big shoutout to my dad for allowing me to grow up with the good stuff from the 60’s and 70’s. Im currently a teenager and I still rock out to the beatles!
the fact that they not only got away with a song about living in the U.S.S.R during the cold war but it also became a hit in the united states is honestly amazingly hilarious
This version gets an A PLUS!! It beats all the others by a country mile. This is real art and the pace of shots, the fidelity to the era shown by the shots showing BOAC planes, Soviet era passenger planes, and key shots of what we Westerners have in our minds about that era. Just a great video. I think I have watched this about 25 times in the last year I like it so much. And this Beatles number is one of my big faves.
@Electronic Adventures The rest of the World really needs to switch to the Fahrenheit scale for weather reports . Celsius sucks bigtime. Or lets scrap both and make a new one where water freezes at Zero and boils at 200. 👌
The Beatles were the best, there will never be a band like them, still enjoy listening to their music, It brightens up my life. Back In The U. S. S. R is still one of my favorite songs, and Paul besides being a brilliant songwriter, is also an awesome singer and musician, does everything with feeling. 🇬🇧🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Now that I am an adult and old enough to be aware of things like the Cold War and the Beach Boys, I have a newfound appreciation for this song! What I thought was just a basic 60s jam is so much more; it's an endearing parody!
It's one of the greatest owns in music history. The Beatles took on the greatest US "pop" group and freaking destroyed them at their own game. After this, The Beach Boys sounded like a collection of Beaver Cleavers.
@@Roxanneredpanda they don't require an adult mind, but the fact is few children born in the 80s would learn or even hear much about them until adulthood.
Yes, but this was a joke with a sardonic undertone to ridicule American chauvinism by showing that a Russian traveler could be as happy and proud to return to his/her home country.
If any of you are old enough to have heard of a Stereo balance knob, the jet noise alternating between both channels during the song. Totally cool. And I stayed away from the Brown Acid at Woodstock. I think, I don’t remember.
When I was little I thought the beatles was referring to the us (united states) and I thought the sr just means the air force or something (because of that airplane noises in the back ground)
My grandma was born in Belarus (Poland at the time, borders were different back then)right before WW2 and fled Nazis to live in USSR. Much love to 🇧🇾Belarus, 🇺🇦 Ukraine and 🇷🇺 Russia for showing such sympathy ❤🫂 💐

Big shoutout to my dad for allowing me to grow up with the good stuff from the 60’s and 70’s. Im currently a teenager and I still rock out to the beatles!
Your Dad has good taste.

I fuckin love this song

Me too

the fact that they not only got away with a song about living in the U.S.S.R during the cold war but it also became a hit in the united states is honestly amazingly hilarious
Can't deny it's a catchy song
It received backlash
@@JJStaleIt's just odd because of how small the backlash was PROPORTIONALLY.
Just ask Alexander Solzhenitsyn (Russian Author)
He will explain to the foolish children and parents of America today !!
@@jocspray lol
This version gets an A PLUS!! It beats all the others by a country mile. This is real art and the pace of shots, the fidelity to the era shown by the shots showing BOAC planes, Soviet era passenger planes, and key shots of what we Westerners have in our minds about that era. Just a great video. I think I have watched this about 25 times in the last year I like it so much. And this Beatles number is one of my big faves.
@Electronic Adventures The rest of the World really needs to switch to the Fahrenheit scale for weather reports . Celsius sucks bigtime. Or lets scrap both and make a new one where water freezes at Zero and boils at 200. 👌
and it critises the ccp which is good
The Beatles were the best, there will never be a band like them, still enjoy listening to their music, It brightens up my life. Back In The U. S. S. R is still one of my favorite songs, and Paul besides being a brilliant songwriter, is also an awesome singer and musician, does everything with feeling. 🇬🇧🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Beatles will always be relevant. I love them so much
The genius of the Beatles really shows through on this song- One of my favs!
Tell it, James.
Beautiful rock and roll song, Paul McCartneys rock n roll guitar is perfect.
This song is a masterpiece!
Now that I am an adult and old enough to be aware of things like the Cold War and the Beach Boys, I have a newfound appreciation for this song! What I thought was just a basic 60s jam is so much more; it's an endearing parody!
It's one of the greatest owns in music history. The Beatles took on the greatest US "pop" group and freaking destroyed them at their own game. After this, The Beach Boys sounded like a collection of Beaver Cleavers.
@@JStarStar00 Nah
@@lohnjennon4886 Yeah, they did
Why yes, the Beach Boys and the Cold War require an adult mind to comprehend
@@Roxanneredpanda they don't require an adult mind, but the fact is few children born in the 80s would learn or even hear much about them until adulthood.
I'm from Romania and I live in Italy, everytime I go back I listen this song
The Beatles are the Beatles and you can't say anything-it's our everything
YES SIR
Guys i just love the KGBeatles
Edit: “we” love
USSR: We have an army
Western World: We have *The Beatles*
Beatles: actually nah
nahh
As a Chinses, Ussr and USA are equally western.
nah
not really Western tho
This song makes me happy, it has such a contagious vibe
Just a totally brilliant rocker with great harmonies
The Beatles were making "back in Soviet Russia" jokes before it was cool.
And also coke jokes xD

Yes, but this was a joke with a sardonic undertone to ridicule American chauvinism by showing that a Russian traveler could be as happy and proud to return to his/her home country.
even better, while the USSR was still a thing. quite bold of them, especially after that whole Jesus shenanigans John pulled.
"Back in the USSA"... no joke!
The Beatles will always be in a special place of my heart.
The Beatles espetacular, sensacional. The Beatles para sempre!
Los Beatles.

@@Thegrungegeek yeah, that one too...thanks for reminding...
Revolution !
I want you shes so heavy
You ever get that feeling of Deja Vu, but for things that haven't happened yet? Yeah, this song is giving me that right now.
If any of you are old enough to have heard of a Stereo balance knob, the jet noise alternating between both channels during the song. Totally cool. And I stayed away from the Brown Acid at Woodstock. I think, I don’t remember.
You should have heard it in "Quadraphonic", Junior.
This mix sounds very modern, sounds more like one of these throwback 60's band trying to sound like a real 60's band, but really fucking good!
"Come and keep your comrade warm" Genius
At last they modernized and stopped being mean to upload their songs, thanks!
@Fenriz Not anymore. Paul got it back last year June 18, 2017 from Sony ATV! Finally!

Just a brilliant piece of satire as well as a damn catchy song. Such a great opener.
I like the double meaning and humorous textes by the BEATLES such as "Georgia´s always on my mind"... :-)
Well, this song hits different in 2022.
those ukraine girls really knock me out with javelin anti tank missiles

just when you think you've had enough of the Beatles, you remember one of their great songs.... and this tune is great!
Great way to sit back with a beverage,and reminiscence with these legends

Wakey fakey cold war.
When I was little I thought the beatles was referring to the us (united states) and I thought the sr just means the air force or something (because of that airplane noises in the back ground)

This song is a rock and roll masterpiece.
My very first record was Meet the Beatles in 1964 when I was 6. I have been a Beatles fan ever since. At 64 they are still my favorite band.
The best music The Beatles for me
The Beatles never made a visit in USSR {they were not allowed} so that's why they made this ironic song. The Beatles ❤️
☭
Wow I had no idea I thought they just liked the USSR
@@Akemon well it sounds like a pro USSR song, so I can easily see what you saw. So to speak, but I don't hear anything critical of the USSR.
This is not a ironic song by any means. Paul visited Moscow and felt in love with the beauty of russian girls. So he decided to write a song to them.
Not a ironic song! It's a song for love and peace to a mankind united by the music and sharing the same world...
The most SURFING song of The Beatles
John Lennon was murdered on this day exactly 40 years ago. He was a revolutionary, legend, Mahatma. RIP Great Soul.

Read these lyrics critically and you can see The Beatles were praising America and putting down the USSR.
No doubt about it, the biggest band of all time. After all these years many of their tracks are still so magical. My daughter, aged 19 knows and loves most of their singles. Brilliant
А я в этом СССР жил и прекрасно помню, как впервые услышал эту песню.Что почувствовал-ГОРДОСТЬ! Они поют о нас!Cлушал на вражеском радио по ламповому приёмнику.
Вражеский радиоприёмник? Почему он был вражеский? Зачем ты его слушал тогда? Если он вражеский, то почему он для тебя работал и других советских людей? Те, кто был на радио, считали тебя врагом?
