Newly released early demo of the song—with vocals by John Lennon
This demo on the new Revolver Special Edition reveals that’s just how the song started out: as a downbeat, contemplative ballad.
According to a 1967 interview, “Yellow Submarine” began as a song by John Lennon. Paul McCartney wrote the chorus. And the song evolved into the sunshiny version audiences still love to hear Ringo Starr perform today.
If the song had continued on its original path, we might never have had a Yellow Submarine movie.
