Hey Bulldog

Album: Yellow Submarine

Year: 1968

Written by: Lennon & McCartney

Recorded just days before leaving for a months-long trip to India to study meditation with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in early 1968, Hey Bulldog is a fun and funky rocker that became part of the animated Yellow Submarine movie soundtrack. This video is very special because it provides us with a rare glimpse of The Beatles recording inside the famous Abbey Road Studios in London. The song and video were recorded the same day as their hit single Lady Madonna.

John sings the lead vocal, with Paul providing the harmony. The song's original title was Hey Bullfrog, but when Paul began howling and barking like a dog at the end of the song, making John laugh hysterically, John decided to change the title to Hey Bulldog. The exchange between John and Paul at the end of the song is memorable for its silliness and good humor.
