message: I remember growing and watching on Captain Kangaroo a what you would now call video for Yellow Submarine.  It was animated but I know it didn't come from the movie.  Does anyone else remember this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Daventhalas1 (talk • contribs) 00:26, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Between the verses there are some words from what sounds like a train station, or something. being swedish I can't help but notice a bunch of swedish words uttered. Does anyone know what it's all about?

:It's a British submarine crew. From the engine noise you hear in the background, the boat sounds like an old diesel-electric from the WWII era, running surfaced. The captain orders "full speed ahead" to his helmsman "Mr. Parker", who acknowledges the order. Then he calls the action station, which acknowledges the order to fire a torpedo. The hissing noise you hear at the end of the spoken segment is the torpedo launch. I believe there have been several different versions of the spoken part, though --151.48.88.234 (talk) 14:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  I don't know but according to this site: http://www.ambience.sk/dezo-hoffman-yellow-submarine-hack these words are spoken by Dezo Hoffman, a Slovak photographer who shot also the Beatles while recording the Revolver and it's really "Mozte mi vylizat". --Ondrejsv (talk) 14:08, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  In the Yellow Submarine movie's DVD, turn the subtitles on and play the song. I don't remember all of it, but it opened my eyes; I used to think that they were speaking Dutch (which is my language). :D --Arno Sluismans, January 20 2010, 02:11 AM GMT+1  —Preceding undated comment added 01:12, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I noticed the link in the introduction referencing the "Bigger than Jesus" controversy didn't lead anywhere so i added an anchor to the appropriate section of the John Lennon article and routed the link to there. Skatanic89 (talk) 01:44, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The article states that Maurice Chevalier recorded a cover of this song, and that the title of the cover is "Le Sous-marin Vert".  It is hard to believe that that is the correct title, since it is French for "The Green Submarine"!  Yellow Submarine should be "Le Sous-marin Jaune".  Google searches for each title turn up roughly the same number of hits each, so there appears to be a great deal of confusion out there as well.  The referenced discography (footnote 11) is also suspect, since it does not list a running time for this track.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.141.189 (talk) 22:58, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like you haven't edited since shortly after you posted this, but if you are watching out there somewhere - you were right!  The official title is actually "Le Sous(-)Marin Vert", which does indeed translate to "The Green Submarine"; and of course, if were correctly translated it would be "Le Sous-Marin Jaune."  Weird, huh?  I guess either: a) Chevalier wanted to be different, b) "jaune" just didn't sound pleasing for the French version for some reason, or c) something got seriously lost in the translation.  Even more ironic, "Green Submarine" actually rhymes ;> Doc9871 (talk) 14:13, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

message: For some reason, Mal Evans was listed twice in "Personnel"; once as "backing vocals", once as "backing vocals, bass drum". Removed the former. --Arno Sluismans, January 20 2010, 02:08 AM GMT+1  —Preceding undated comment added 01:08, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  why is the genre rock? 

message: According to the Wikipedia article on psychedelic music, it is not a specific genre, but simply an umbrella term used for a number of genres such as psychedelic rock, psychedelic pop, psychedelic folk, ect. --John of Lancaster (talk) 16:18, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is not a dictionary (please dont use other articles as grounds for anything), so an actual reliable source may use "psychedelic music" in describing a song he/she feels may encompass all those styles you mentioned. The current citations were weak, and I replaced it with one directly labelling it. Dan56 (talk) 23:19, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

message: The call-and-response in the last verse, where RIngo's lyrics are repeated in an exaggerated British accent:  I seem to remember that the full verse was like that originally.  Now they start with the second response, and even part of that one seems to be cut off.  Was the original 45 different in that regard from the album versions?

replies: text: I am recalling that the track on my mono US release of Revolver has the response to each line. The stereo mix has the first line response omitted. Haven't had the vinyl out for a long time so I may be incorrect. If memory serves, John was the one who voiced the responses. I believe the article addresses this issue with the same info.

message: I think the Recording section still lacks a few informations from the Anthology book about how Ringo slurred some of the lyrics but the lads kept it because it became even more surreal/funnier that way, such as that when Ringo was supposed to sing, "Everyone of us as/Has all he needs", it comes out as "Everyone of us/Has all *WE* need..." --2003:71:4E19:1807:C09F:BA9:D8B4:DAEF (talk) 14:24, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Did George contribute acoustic guitar to the song or just tambourine in addition to backing vocals? The personnel listed says that he contributed both, but in the actual source, he is credited with tambourine and backing vocals. Which is correct?
