The Yellow Submarine
The Yellow Submarine was a popular song years ago and is till taught at school to little kids. It was originally written by The Beatles, more specifically by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. There are a few ways on interpretating the exact meaning one way is that throughout the Beatles music career they had to stay in hotels while they were pressured by people as well as the fans. This would be seen as the submarine. Next the color yellow is supposed to signify friends inside the submarine. During the song it mentions sea of green wich reprsents money and costs. This song was put in the Revolver album and was written especially for Ringo to lead the singing. Paul McCartney later explained after its release in 1966: "'Yellow Submarine' is very simple but very different. It's a fun song, a children's song. Originally we intended it to be 'Sparky' a children's record. But now it's the idea of a yellow submarine where all the kids went to have fun. I find this cool in a way because most of their songs are songs that teens and adults would listen to and that was like an expectation of them. However, they create this song that will last who knows how long. I meant that In a positive way.
