It was a testament to the power of the Beatles by now that they could release a nonsensical children's song as an A-side and still have it do so well. The recording sessions were a bit goofy, with lots of oddball sound effects and whatnot. Ringo's admittedly limited vocal ability worked just fine. I included two links here - the clip of the actual song may or may not work for you (thanks to the lawyers!) so I added the trailer for the movie that came out a couple of years later. You can tell the style of animation certainly influenced the future works of the Monty Python troupe. George Harrison later invested in the production of Python's "Life Of Brian."

The mono mix of YELLOW SUBMARINE is the one to get.
On the stereo mix the sound engineer screwed up on the first background voice track on the final verse, and the drums and bass don't come in on the first verse until the second line is sung.
