THE BEATLES DAY TRIPPER REACTION :Ridiculous guitar riff!(first time hearing)

[@DTMBYLEZ70]

I’m 67 bought the single at 11 years old and I played this 45 on my little primitive record player until the needle caught fire. How lucky to be so young and have the Beatles!!!

[@coleparker]

I am 68 and I agree with you.

The needle caught fire. Fabulous. Perfect. I'm 70 and still freaked out. Peace.

[@jeffnaslund]

In that case, we both remember when Beatle albums came out. It was an exciting time to hear new music from them. I was four when I saw them on Ed Sullivan, and I remember it. My older sisters bought every album that came out, so I heard it all. What a privilege to grow up with that as your musical standard. Our generation literally lived through the best music.

The Beatles' producer, George Martin, said this was his favorite song to produce. Enjoyed your reaction too. 🙂

[@garymccoy6564]

In Britain, people take one day vacations--day trips--to the seaside. They are called day trippers. In the context of this song, it means something that is short-lived, not serious. The hints are all over the lyrics: she's a teaser, one-way ticket, one-night stands, etc....

[@emilymalden3310]

Thanks for explaining that.

[@busking6292]

@@emilymalden3310 -Yes,and they had to change the lyric from 'she's a p**ck teaser' to 'she's a BIG teaser' ,the song is self-explanetary with the original lyric.

[@iammrig]

Paul said it's about drugs XD

[@iamamaniaint]

Ahhhhhh I see I see

[@phillipecook3227]

That's all true: " Day Trips" is an expression which became widely used in the UK in the 1960s to reflect the social phenomenon of short " day only" family breaks pretty much exclusively to the seaside and the song uses a clever play on words about the girl who " only played one night stands" ( another play on words but this time borrowing the musician's universal expression for a single one - night - only booking). But given it's a song from 1965 there's of course another potential meaning: " tripping" in the sense of an LSD trip ....

[@ProdigyBowlersTour]

Back when "Day Tripper" was a hit single, those of us who were listening to it on the radio were hearing it in MONO on AM stations (that's what played top 40 music back then). So when I hear these early Beatles songs in stereo, they don't seem quite right to me. Also noteworthy is that The Beatles were one of very few artists whose hit singles would often have both sides of the 45 RPM record played by radio. "Day Tripper" was actually the B side of the single. The A side was a song called "We Can Work It Out," which you really ought to check out. Almost all of The Beatles singles had both the A side and B side get airplay on radio, which was unheard of at the time.

[@Fool3SufferingFools]

You're not just imagining it. They released a mono mix of every song (up through the White Album at least), and the mono mixes often sounded very different from the stereo. Only the mono mixes were supervised by the Beatles themselves, because stereo was sort of considered a gimmick in those days, so the Beatles just let the engineers make the stereo mixes on their own. So the mono mixes are the way the Beatles wanted the records to sound, even though the stereo mixes have become more famous over time. (Sometimes the differences are dramatic... "She's Leaving Home" and "Don't Pass Me By" are even in the wrong key, compared to the mono versions.)

[@richardkeep8651]

It was actually a double A side with We Can Work it Out

[@debbiechang5781]

I’m replying three months late, but I read your comment and just wanted to add that “If I Fell” was the b-side of “And I Love Her”. My brother had bought the 45 and that was another example of two hits in one. In my opinion, side 2 was the better of the two (those harmonies!). ✌️

[@MisterWondrous]

"We Can Work It Out" is another very great song, and worth learning on guitar. Fun to play.

[@alanmusicman3385]

@@richardkeep8651 Yep, in the UK at least they were a double A side.

[@emreeroglu9331]

I'd recommend "Rain". Ringo called it his favourite Beatles song and it contains in my opinion his best rock n roll drumming, Paul completes the rythmic section with the perfect bassline for it, John's raspy vocals Sound phenomenal and a great guitar riff by George. It also comes with a music video.

the idiom of the "day tripper" is in relation to 'a week long vacation' or 'a weekend getaway.' Instead of packing up luggage and supplies, the _day trip_ is just getting in the car and going to the beach or the city for lunch, relaxing, walking around, dinner, and then back home after dark.

[@SuperSuperswan]

It hooked me when I first heard it as a kid too.

[@brianalmeida1964]

Great reaction Harri. This mid-period of the Beatles is probably my favourite period. This was one of the first guitar riffs I ever learnt on the guitar, even though I'm not a very good guitarirst. Stay safe mate.

Day Tripper was on the first "double A-Side-Single" the Beatles made. The other A-Side was "We can work it out".

[@PeterBuwen]

@@peterbarbera5485 It was in late 1965. The Beatles had so called double-A-Side-Singles because they had no "worse material" for a B-Side. So the Single "Day Tripper - We can work it out" has two A-Sides. The one song is A-Side as well as the other.

[@peterbarbera5485]

@@PeterBuwen thanks! I kind of thought it was pre ‘66, because before Revolver I think Paperback Writer was the only single earlier that they had in ‘66. Could be wrong about that too.

[@TangoEliott]

The thing about the Beatles is that the best part is the evolution. The journey. It was an honor. It was fun. It was a journey as the time went by. At first I was resistant because I was young when I first saw them, 11, I turned 12 early 64. But I eventually got it. I wanted, at the time, for a million I Want To Hold Your Hand. Or She Loves You. But as I became a teen I finally got it. I understood the growth. And this is in the middle...the next step. And I simply love it and them. The only other group I love to this depth is ABBA and it took me a long time to admit that because I love the Beatles so much that as an adult my bedroom is designed with framed Beatles posters. I am no spring chicken as you can figure out by my words. But I feel like a kid every freaking time. Love them.

[@rix66pix79]

And "You Can't Do That", too. With DT, the riff, vocal harmony, ringo... love it, and it's very high up on my Beatles fav list. When Paul comes in on top of Johns riff, it really solidifies that awesome riff... and the middle part when everybody comes together... whether you're by yourself or in a room filled with people: I (maybe You?) STILL react to that moment when The Beatles did that thing that they did and you can see other people reacting, too !! Either with a rhythm nod or drum style fist pump !! Or making gestures (still to this day! 70!) using an air Rickenbacker !! I was a kid in Palo Alto when they played Candlestick Park and they stayed at the then named Cabana in P.A. I didn't get to go to the concert unfortunately but did get to see them live on closed circuit tv which included Lesley Gore and the Beach Boys at the Stanford Theatre. Memories for sure and for always. Oh, yeah.. Jimi liked it, too. 🎸👍😎

Day Tripper didn't go to #1 on the Billboard Singles Chart. Peaked at #5. but still impressive enough for both an A and B side of a single to be within the top 10 on the Billboard charts.

You're so right. When we heard Sergeant Pepper's we all quit our bands and went back to school. They had 19 number one albums on Billboard charts, 20 number one songs and 34 top ten. Once or twice they had five and six on the top ten at the same time. They wrote almost 300, all good.

[@MrTCHOSS]

Day Tripper - Was a drug reference. Something cheeky that their friends would get. Fun fact - even though the lyrics say, "she's a big teaser"... they actually said "She's a prick teaser" but kept that to themselves so it would be an inside joke. They wondered if their producer George Martin would notice.

[@GrouchyMarx]

Hey Harri, what you said in the first 16 seconds about what guitar players of other bands must have thought reminds me a little of what various competing rock bands thought about Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album being declared as THE quintessential album to musically mark the year 1967, and especially its summer known in history as "The summer of love". Since you've mentioned "guitar riff" check out "I Feel Fine" and that awesome guitar strum at the beginning. Several others have suggested "I Feel Fine" for good reason, and I don't see it in your video list. My understanding is that powerful strum at the beginning was added by George before recording it, to give the song a powerful and memorable beginning. Not sure if he or someone else thought of it. Thank you for doing a lot of early Beatles material. Many are doing their later works (and there's no complaint here!), but it's nice to see you doing their pre-Sgt. Pepper's songs too. I'll hit subscribe and look forward to more videos. BTW, as you are a Beatles fan you may enjoy the 1979 Dick Clark production called "Birth of the Beatles" featuring look-alike actors that traces their beginnings before they found a drummer and after rebranding themselves as simply "The Beatles", the gigs in Hamburg, back at The Cavern Club, and ending with their historic appearance on the Ed Sullivan show during their first visit to the US.

A tip about listening to early Beatles... like this song... Back then The Beatles liked to record in mono, even if they recorded on two separate tracks with basically vocals on one track and music on the other The mono version just combined the two tracks. However, the record company wanted stereo version also. So you just get the two tracks as recorded ...with the hole in the middle as in this song To listen to the early Beatles songs in al their glory they must be listened to in mono as they intended them to sound
