Beatles - Hey Bulldog


I have always really liked Hey Bulldog by the Beatles but since it is only available on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack I tend to forget about it. For some reason it just popped into my mind after the post below about NSA surveillance.

Maybe lyrics like these have something to do with it:


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?


Child-like
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



It could just be that I like the crunchy guitar riff with piano doubling it or the attitude behind Lennon's vocal or just the fun goofing off at the end of the song.

Buy it here.
