You may have read, but Bulldog was only recorded because they needed something to play in the studio while they were filmed for a Lady Madonna video. That song was later dubbed over the film. In "And your bird can sing" the guitar solos were Paul and George playing in unison.

This version of And Your Bird Can Sing always puts a big smile on my face, it's just amazing to hear how much fun they had recording it.

What's great about the Hey Bulldog music video, they were supposed to make a music video/ music promotional film and mime to their song "Lady Madonna". For some odd reason they just decided to use the time to record John's new son Hey Bulldog. The music video was edited as Lady Madonna, thankfully all the unused footage was saved. 30 years later they rediscovered the complete film reels and made a music video for Hey Bulldog. This is only one of four footage of the group being filmed while recording a studio track [BEFORE filming for the Let It Be film]. The other songs being the Hey Jude rehearsals,, All You Need Is Love, and "And I Love Her".

So, u have a TINY bit of an idea of what a 14yrold felt when he saw&heard this band for the very 1st time, on their American tv debut, on The Ed Sullivan Show!? Then, for the next 6 years, he, along with literally the rest of the world, followed their every move, musically & whatever! We couldn't wait for their next release, whether it was a single or an album! And, everything seem to mature with each release, and, didn't realize, that he was also growing&maturing at the same time! When they stopped touring, (who stops touring?) it was a blow! But, they announced, they did it so they could focus more on their music! And we were happy for that! And, yes, their music took strides, were still so ahead of everyone, and it just blew us away! I've always loved their studio versions bc, like this version of AND YOUR BIRD CAN SING, these are rough cuts of what will lead to the polished studio versions! And, many bands would've taken some of their rough cuts as finished products! Not the Beatles! Everything they did was to THEIR exact specifications! When they split up, I, along with everyone else, was heartbroken! After their last release, we had NOTHING to look forward to! I was upset at them so I literally quit listening to them as solo artists and it took awhile b4 I consciously even made an effort to "listen" to them! I'm 74 now and it's been several decades that I finally allowed them into my life but, honestly, I'm happy ur one of many that are taking delight in discovering what we felt&witnessed so long ago! I think you might understand why we STILL hang on to their music! It's still young to us! It helped us grow into the ppl we are today! Keep on keeping on!❤

Wao, excelente comentario.

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

"Hey Bulldog" was recorded in February of 1968 - during the same time period as "Lady Madonna" and "Across The Universe". The Beatles left for India to spend time with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - shortly after recording these tracks. They would write most of the songs that would be on the White Album during their stay in India - and they began recording that double album after getting back from India. They also made their huge selling hit single ("Hey Jude"/"Revolution") during the summer of 1968 and released it on August 28, 1968. It became their longest running #1 song in the US - staying at the top for 9 weeks.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Hey Bulldog was one of my favorite Beatles songs ever since I heard it when I was a kid. And as I got older, and as a musician, and knowing more about how their lives would unfold, it just meant more and more to me. I love that it is piano-driven and it has so much tension to it, and yet it's hilarious when John and Paul just start goofing off on the dog motif. Despite later conflict, you shouldn't underestimate how close they all were. It had a lot to do with how tight they were.

I’m so glad you’re enjoying discovering the Beatles. As if their music wasn’t fully entertaining and satisfying, their story, their personalities, everything about them is fascinating!

[@donw804]

Anytime a Beatles reaction video mentions George Martin, I have to give props. He truly was the fifth Beatle. Only fate could have matched him with the Beatles because no other producer would have added so much to the band's development and innovation. They fed off each other and the result was.... well, legendary.

[@tdgallagher218]

Geoff Emerick deserves a nod as well. He was responsible for many innovative ideas that helped the Beatles further develop their sound. Emerick contributed in numerous ways such as close-micing the drums-which was prohibited by the studio at the time-and other instruments, putting blankets inside Ringo's bass drum to muffle the sound, as well as helping Lennon find ways to distort his voice on various recordings. I believe he invented ADT (Automatic Double Tracking) that was used on vocals to make them sound fuller.

"Hey Bulldog" was not overlooked by us who grew up with them. What was overlooked later was the LP it is on.

[@L33Reacts]

Thank you for the clarification ☺️

[@gettinhungrig8806]

The mix of 'Hey Bulldog' was vastly improved in 1999 with the release of Yellow Submarine Songtrack. In the original John's vocal was mixed way down in the verses for some reason. Along with this correction Neil Aspinall oversaw the unearthing of the Hey Bulldog video. The song took off in popularity thereafter. The song was also omitted from early versions of the Yellow Sub film in USA. So yes it was overlooked.

[@jnagarya519]

@@gettinhungrig8806 I still have my first-release of the "Yellow Submarine" vinyl LP. It was only overlooked by LATER GENERATIONS who, for "reasons," have a problem with the fact that "The Beatles" didn't limit themselves to the narrow-minded confines of LATER GENERATIONS, who MOCKED the SONG "Yellow Submarine" instead of understanding the obvious: It is a CHILDREN'S song. And Side 2 of the LP is all George Martin music -- and no "real" rock fan would listen to THAT crap. The song has ALWAYS been on the "Yellow Submarine" LP -- which according to many LATER GENERATIONS is their worst LP. Therefore the song has ALWAYS been available. So it was "overlooked" by LATER GENERATIONS based on their own SELF-limitations. And you should get your hearing tested, or learn to engage with a song instead of having to turn up the volume in order to hear it: I've never had any difficulty hearing Lennon's vocal in the original mix. Last but not least: that the song sequence was NOT in the "Yellow Submarine" film got our attention, so we gave GREATER attention and focus to the song on the "Yellow Submarine" LP.

Paul with the Bond rif. Live and let die

[@andrewcole3736]

Like all bands the four guys argued but always patched it up. They were like four brother who fought like cats and dogs. When Brian Epstein passed away in 1967, The Beatles were without a manager, and they really didn’t know what to do because Brian had always been there for them. As Ringo recently stated, without Paul, the band wouldn’t have made the last three albums. Paul was a workaholic and he took the reins and became the force that pushed them forward. He became the de-facto producer of the band. As you can imagine the other three resented his role as they were all strong personalities. But Paul had to actually coax them to come into the studio to make an album. The truth is that they all really loved one another, but like all bands, they broke up. Hey Bull Dog is an example of how much fun they all had together and if you watch the movie Get Back, you’ll see that even up to the end there were many moments of fun and togetherness. Paul and John worked out all of their differences and in the last few years of John’s life Paul visited him at the Dakota many times. If you listen to John’s interview, which he gave to Rolling Stone the day before he was murdered, he stated that the band would not get together to play live, but if they had something to say, he was open to making another album. A reunion would have been amazing, but at least we have an incredible body of work to enjoy over and over again. The Beatles are the GOAT. 🕊️❤️🎼

I've heard this story before, it is pretty well known. When rehearsing, Paul started barking because he though John was say Bulldog in the 1st verse, but he says Bullfrog.. John used Bulldog in the song, but kept the original Bullfrog in the 1st verse, but changed to chorus to Bulldog from Bullfrog before they did the final take.

[@lauraallen55]

@phillydisco Yeah, I don't think that's how it happened. But, then, I read so many things that aren't true under both Beatles' and Beatles' solos comments. It's will how inaccurate so many things are about them.

[@lauraallen55]

That is close... It seems common with Beatles' lore for 'well-known stories' to lose a little in translation at times. Happens to me too. Paul had seen John's notes he'd written up for the song, so he knew it was 'bullfrog'. Doesn't seem like he misheard the lyric when he had seen and read them from John's notes, and they had rehearsed it for so long. He did misread a line in the song from John's notes that was ultimately kept in: measured out in news' became 'measured out in you'. Paul made 'a barking sound' while John and he were both ad-libbing *on the final take*. They decided to change the title at that point. This is from the Beatles' bible.

So-called "animosity": what happened was they got older, got married, had kids, bought and hung out in individual homes, and increasingly pursued individual interests, so didn't hang out as much together. (The "animosity" was over McCartney's efforts to keep it going, whereas John and George were losing interest.) John explained it by quoting the title of an old song: "Those Wedding Bells are Breaking Up that Old Gang of Mine". But they do sound tired on the "Let it Be" LP.

This is why most American Beatle albums have different song lists. In England The Beatles early albums usually had 14 songs and the single was not on the album. The group thought it was unfair for their fans who had paid money for a single had to rebuy it on an album. In America the same album had only 11 or 12 songs. That way Capitol would accumulate unused tracks which added to singles would create a new album and make more profits.

You know, the Beatles changed the world of music. It would be interesting to see you react to them in their different phases in one reaction. Like, She loves you, from their earliest stage. Drive my car, from the next stage when they began doing music that were good for real. A day in the life, where they took music to the next level, and Come together, from their last album. Just to see the progression of the band. I think of the first four albums as their boy band period. The next three up till Revolver as their middle period with music that would last and the rest as a gift to the world. Thanks for a great channel.

Cool reaction man, but you gotta find the first cover for that album, referred to as “The Butcher Cover”. It was immediately recovered with a glue on new cover. A tiny amount of The Butcher cover albums got out, and they’re really rare and valuable.

I am SO GLAD you reacted to "Hey Bulldog" and the "Giggle" version of "And Your Bird Can Sing." I have been TRYING to get other reactors to do them for several years!!! HEY BULLDOG is SUCH a FAVORITE of mine, that I just go WILD when I play it or when the ODD cover band or Tribute band actually PERFORM it!! OH, here is DAVE GROHL performing it (watch for Paul, Ringo & wives, Yoko & son Sean in the front row ) kzbin.info/www/bejne/qanUq4CPn8-ejZo THIS is from "THE NIGHT THAT CHANGED AMERICA" special celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Beatles first live appearance on Feb. 9, 1964 in America on "THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW" It aired on CBS, since CBS was the network that the Ed Sullivan Show was on. You will LOVE this performance too.

I bought a whole album of theirs just to get “Hey Bulldog”. I believe it was on The Yellow Submarine album, which I wasn’t crazy about. But I had to have Hey Bulldog. I love John. He always brought the edge and the wacky humor to their music.
