Hey Bulldog

Number eight, let's see.

I'm going to put in Hey Bulldog as my first John vocal.

Good choice.

I wonder if you've got that in there anywhere.

And it's so playful.

And as you know, they found when they were doing the Beatles' one album, the video version, and they found the video footage they made for Lady Madonna.

And it was as they were in the recording session for Hey Bulldog.

So they rebuilt that as a video, the session for Hey Bulldog.

I would agree.

Also in 1991, released as Cruise 702, a 45 RPM 10-inch with the title track, 1,000 Smiling Knuckles, on the A-side and a cover of the Beatles' Hey Bulldog on the B-side, which is okay but not crucial, and you can hear that cover on the start of the top comp.

For the full-length artwork, wicked psychedelic cover art by Jim Blanchard, who we also saw on the Indino's Earthworm episode as the cover artist for that release, The CD has the black and white gatefold photo of the band all rocking the hair, especially Barrett with that massive fro he always had back then.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Oh, Hey Bulldog, which we play sometimes for our picks.

Oh, yeah.

Hey Bulldog.

Oh,

yeah.

Playing Bulldog.

Hey Bulldog.

We did Hey Bulldog-

The Beatles song, yeah

... with, uh, Zach Mikita from-

Yeah.

Okay, then I'll choose Hey Bulldog.

Woo.

Bass or guitar? Both?

Ooh, I guess I was thinking guitar, but let's listen to it, 'cause probably both, if that's not cheating.

[Hey Bulldog by The Beatles]

Piano tone.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, it's a common thing with even the later stuff.

Listen to Hey Bulldog or Lady Madonna or some things like that.

You pretty much have the same thing.

So I tend to be a little bit more forgiving for that because I guess when we talk about the overall view here, with Rubber Soul and I guess all of Giles' mixes, it's a double-edged sword.

However, they wound up recording this song while the cameras rolled.

John Lennon had originally called it Hey Bullfrog, but then Paul McCartney started barking during the recording.

Goodbye, frog.

It landed on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack in 1969, but its scene was cut from the American movie release.

Shall we move on to the next one?

So the next one I picked is Hey Bulldog.

What makes you think you're something special when you smile? Childlike, no one understands.

Jackknife in your sweaty hands.

Some kind of innocence is measured out in years.

You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears.

Now, Hey Bulldog was from the 1969 album Yellow Submarine, also from the animated Yellow Submarine movie from 1968.

This song for years was kind of a forgotten Beatles song because it was on an album that most people consider their weakest throwaway album, Yellow Submarine.
