Day Tripper

In 1965, the Beatles did a twofer.

They released Day Tripper and We Can Work It Out.

It was recorded during the Rubber Soul sessions.

And both songs hit number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and also in the UK.

But it's possible that he wrote the upper line.

We heard the work tape for Day Tripper, and again, we had John singing Paul's line, which kind of turned into the higher harmony.

So, you know, it's certainly ambiguous.

You know, obviously we talk about this a lot on the podcast as well.

definitely oh gosh i love littleton now before we jump into talking about this single let's start at the very beginning when you were a little busking star at seven what were your favorite covers to play

Ooh, I really like to play Day Tripper by the Beatles.

Wow, you

definitely get some, like, old people going to the supermarket giving you some coins for that one.

You had to erase every track from existence, but you could keep three.

What do you keep of this album? And I'm including day tripper and we can work it out.

Okay.

So you mean whole songs, not.

Norwegian Wood.

Was the...

Or do you mean that Day Tripper was on a previous re-release? Because Norwegian Wood was the one that came out in advance that we listened to.

We watched

Day.

We kind of talked about this already, but Day Tripper, songwriting work tape.

That was fun.

Yeah.

And I'm more Yoko.

I want to be uninvited sitting on an amp staring ominously.

Here's another thing where like listening to day tripper, you know, we've heard this before on like

ultra rare tracks, I think is where I heard it.

Is this ratcheting up the anxiety of the journey when we get into rubber soul season and everything that comes thereafter that we might be hitting the meat of the catalog for a lot of listeners?

as evidenced by this episode day tripper you know how do we start talking about this how do we put a rating on this well you'll hear that in the episode yeah it's time to get going kick it into gear drive this car oh i see yeah i see what you did we just finished up help we do have like a help retrospective on our patreon if you want to go listen to that we kind of sum up the whole help season our recording

experiences and what we thought about the album as a whole etc up

And now we're pointed to the future day tripper.

We have

a guest on talking about day tripper.

Who's our guest? Today is Aristotle and Aristotle has an online presence of Aristotle digs music and he's going to be joining us today.

We've never spoken to Aristotle on a podcast in lengthy discussion before today's episode.

Summer Breeze, this cover started a trend where new Type O negative albums would have an unlikely cover too, though never quite as intentionally comedic as this one.

The next album had Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl, the one after that had a Beatles medley centered around Day Tripper and a little bit of She's So Heavy mixed in, and the one after that had Angry Inch from Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a musical about a botched sex change operation.

Peter Steele had substantially more than one inch, as we've covered on this show before.

I'm sure multiple times by now.
