Sir Paul Macca wrote some great Beatles songs; frinstance Yesterday, Blackbird, Elenor Rigby and Hey Jude. Also wrote some clunkers like Rocky Racoon and ObladiOblada.
Yellow Submarine sits somewhere in the middle imo; it was a fun song at the time, with some pretty novel features ( The sound effects, the topic, the little joke about living next door). To me the only prob with Yellow Submarine is its over-exposure; who would've thought that a 3-min piece of jokey ephemera would still be listened to 40 years down the line?
