Feeling blue? I was never much of a fan of the Yellow Submarine movie. I liked the album and one of the songs on it, Hey Bulldog, has become a sleeper favorite of mine. The Beatles channel is always playing it (well, they always play everything Beatles). The original title of the song, written by John, was Hey Bullfrog, but Paul got into it and started barking like a dog, so they renamed it Hey BullDog. As to the Yellow Submarine movie, the Beatles had almost nothing to do with it. They allowed it to happen to fulfill the third picture in a three picture deal when they couldn't think of anything else to do (and the Magical Mystery Tour movie wasn't the hit they expected, although the album was great). The voices in the cartoon are not even the Beatles' voices. Anyway, feeling pretty blue with the snowy and rainy weather and this made a great choice for today's Shot of the Day for that reason. From a Beatles pop-up shop in So-Ho this past Christmas.
