Talk:Day Tripper

message: The 2005 Rhino Special Products album Day Trippers: An R&B Tribute To The Beatles () has a cover of "Day Tripper" recorded by Otis Redding. Now, obviously, he died well before 2005, but the CD insert doesn't give any info on when these tracks might have been recorded and whether they're collected from other sources, or what. If we could track down this info, it would be worth inclusion in the table of cover versions.Lawikitejana (talk) 04:30, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

message: In the clips of their performing this song (see youtube), Lennon and McCartney always seem to smile at each other when they sing "she's a big teaser", strongly suggesting that the "prick teaser" lyric is in their minds. But "she" doesn't seem to be a classic "teaser". She "goes all the way" once, but refuses to take it further. Seeming to promise a long term relationship, she in fact acts like a "typical male". Lots more could be, and probably has been, written about the theme of "feminisation" and "unmanning" in Lennon's lyrics. Tsinfandel (talk) 22:47, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I received a copy of a live recording of this song credited to Oasis and Eddie Vedder but I can't find a credible source to confirm it.  I keep seeing "free mp3" download sites on Google searches and nothing more reliable than that.  I'm hoping someone out there might happen to know the right credits or where to point to find a real recording.

message: The Bicycling Guitarist does a parody of this song that makes a Spoonerism of the title and then talks about a woman at a buffet who likes the cheese. The lyrics sound very close to the original song. On The Bicycling Guitarist's lyrics page for this song, he quotes G.K. Chesterton "The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese." There is a video on YouTube of a recent live performance of this song at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG1EEtnZO2o  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.42.166.39 (talk) 14:53, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

message: What is the source for John playing a Casino on this track? He is not known to have owned a Casino at the time (he and George both bought Casinos in early 1966), and Paul's had been modified to be played left-handed (which probably required replacing the nut, so playing it right-handed would have been impractical). I'm inclined to take out the reference to the Casino unless it can be substantiated.
John's rhythm chords sound more like his usual (at that time) Rickenbacker 325, and George's playing of the main riff has been conjectured (there being no direct evidence, as far as I know) to be on either a Gretsch Tennessean or a Gibson ES-345 (both of which he owned at about that time). Additionally, the riff is double-tracked, so it's possible that the second guitar is different; it could be Paul on his Casino.
Although John says 'the guitar break' is his, the solo in that song sounds much more like Paul's lead playing; compare it to Paul's lead fills in 'Ticket to Ride', for example. I wish someone would ask Paul about this. -- Craig418 (talk) 19:07, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Ian MacDonald should do less critique and more music study. The song has no chorus ffs. And it's not a relative minor there anyway. Boundless stupidity. Whoever cited him falls into the same category.
Yeah, relative minor? The chords are F#7 for four bars, followed by one bar each of A7, G#7, C#7, and B. Anyway, Ian MacDonald's days of both critique and study are over, since he committed suicide in 2003. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ian_MacDonald#Death John Link (talk) 18:22, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

message: Under "Composition" it says:
"Under the pressure of needing a new single for the Christmas market,[8] John Lennon wrote much of the music and most of the lyrics, while Paul McCartney worked on the verses."
Could someone please clarify? (BTW, I bought the single when it was released.)2001:7E8:C9B8:4E00:FD20:A079:539B:B86A (talk) 09:03, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The statement's unsourced and has been for a while. From reading Walter Everett's description, I think it's a case of a musicologist's description being misunderstood – Everett uses "verse" to mean words (lyrics). He writes that Lennon said he wrote all of "Day Tripper" but "attributed some of the verse to his partner [McCartney]". I'll fix it on the page. JG66 (talk) 10:18, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

message: : Hello there. One of your edit summaries mentioned Buffalo Springfield – I remember seeing the DT riff mentioned while doing some research for Bluebird. Einarson writes in his group bio that Young does "cop" the riff during "Baby Don't Scold Me".[p. 135] Apparently, their record company didn't think that highly of the song and replaced it with For What It's Worth for the second pressing on their first album.
I also saw April Wine mentioned, which I vaguely remember with Satisfaction. I thought about the two riffs recorded around the same time, which led me to this mention: "Lennon and McCartney's DT may be heard as a direct response to Satisfaction, with DT's riff topping the Stones ..."[eBook] Use/abuse as you see fit. —Ojorojo (talk) 15:28, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

message: "Alex Petridis of The Guardian finds the song inferior to "We Can Work It Out", writing: "Its addictive riff aside, there is something unappealingly snooty about Day Tripper: the sound of an acid initiate sneering..."  This seems strange after the praise of the previous comments which are specifically about the musicality. Is Petridis complaining only of the lyrics specifically? What is the "sound" of sneering???  I guess it's helpful to have a contradictory opinion, but it seems whiney and low quality, searching for faults that don't really exist, but have just triggered someone who is insecure about their own disdain for psychedelics. We get that you don't like LSD, Alex, but is this just making up stuff? I hear the "sound of sneering, but it's not from the song, it's from the critic with an agenda!
