![]() Yellow Submarine Soundtrack (1969) [ larger cover art ] |
Sheepdog standing in the rain
Bullfrog doing it again
Some kind of happiness is measured out in miles
What makes you think you're something special when you smile?
Childlike, no one understands
Jack-knife in your sweaty hands
Some kind of innocence is measured out in years
You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely, you can talk to me
Big man (yeah?) walking in the park
Wigwam frightened of the dark
Some kind of solitude is measured out in you
You think you know me, but you haven't got a clue
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely, you can talk to me
Hey!
Hey, bulldog
Hey, bulldog
Hey, bulldog
Hey, bulldog
'''Spoken:'''
'''Paul:''' Hey, man.
'''John:''' What's that, boy?
'''Paul:''' Ruff!
'''John:''' What do you say?
'''Paul:''' I say, "Woof!"
'''John:''' Do you know any more?
'''Paul:''' Awooo arf!
'''John:''' Ah-ha-ha!
'''Paul:''' You've got it! That's it! You've got it! That's it, man! Whoo! That's it, you've got it!
'''John:''' [Screams hysterically]
'''Paul:''' Don't look at me, man: I only have ten children. Hoo!
'''John:''' Ah-ho! Ha-ha-ha aarrh ha-ha-ha!
'''Paul:''' Quiet, boy, quiet!
'''John:''' Okay.
'''Paul:''' Quiet!
Hey, bulldog
Hey, bulldog
Hey, bulldog
Quiet, okay, quiet

Never really took of.. maybe because of the album it featured on? (not their greatest, by far..) The bulldog section was left on the cutting room floor of the original version of the film. Fortunately the track was on the LP, however. |

But, I will say this song is one of the few I do enjoy. Definitely does not feel or sound like "ordinary" Beatles... |

| alph (Honolulu) | Posted: Feb 16, 2011 - 23:37 Not sure I'd classify a 1969 release as their "early years" considering the band broke up in '70. But I do agree with your sentiment about the song. unclehud wrote: One of my favorites from their early years. Not psychedelic at all, but still got the juice. |

It's a tumor, it creates holograms of ninja monkeys that lacerate my insides whenever I see wheat toast minds fawning over corporate pablum as if it were anything other than the political and social prozac that it is. Beatles were a money making boy band whose creative genius rested with George Martin and a multi million dollar recording studio. Mind pollution, dragging the 60's generation and anyone who believes them in to a stupor of drug induced mediocrity. That generation sold out because of bands like this, oh ..and the acid too ..probably. But that we're not in the streets banging on trash cans protesting our own slavery kinda works ..for some people. ..ruff ruff (tail wag tail wag) I don't know if I agree with any or all of that (as a 50-something stripling I wasn't around in the Moptops' heyday), but I like your style :) |
