I recently saw an interview that Paul McCartney did in the Howard Stern Show about this very song. Howard said, "I heard John didn't like this song." Paul responded, "Who says? A Jamaican man (I forget his name) was a friend of ours. I saw him one day and asked how he was doing. He replied, 'Ob-la-di, Ob-la da, life goes on you know!' So, George, Ringo and I were in the studio working on this song when John walked in. He asked what we were working on and I told him. John sat down at the piano and started playing what you hear. We had our song finally!" By the way, I absolutely love this song.

In his book, Paul McCartney, The Lyrics, he says very little about why he wrote Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Di, but he explained that he liked to "go down a club" after a Beatles concert and get food and drink. Inside the club he met a Nigerian conga player called Jimmy Scott. Paul asked Jimmy how he was, and Jimmy replied, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on, Bra." Jimmy explained that it was a phrase similar to the French saying “comme ci, comme ça.” used, especially in answer to the question, “How's it going?” to convey that something is neither very good nor very bad; but just so-so...but life goes on. Paul wrote the song when the Beatles were in India, and he was breaking up with Jane Asher and starting a relationship with Linda Eastman. When the Beatles became famous, Paul didn't want to get married; he saw how things were going with John and his wife, Cynthia, and wanted no part of it. However, he started feeling differently about marriage after he met Linda. Perhaps he wrote the lyrics foreseeing or forecasting his future life as a married man and a father. Listen to the refrain in the chorus of the song! He even predicts that the woman he marries will stay at home and do her pretty face and in the evening, she still sings it with the band. When Paul created the group WINGS, Linda, indeed, became his wife, bore him children, and sang with the band.

One of those happy songs that make us all smile and dance!

One of my best memories from when I was a little, is my mom in the kitchen setting dinner out on the table and my dad, after washing up, hugging her and shuffling her across the floor singing, “Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I’m 64?” My parents will celebrate their 73rd wedding anniversary this year.

This was used as the theme song for a TV show that ran from 1989-93 entitled, "Life Goes On." It was a basic family drama that had a unique twist: it was the first regular TV show to have a regular character with Down's Syndrome, with the actor portraying him actually having the condition.

Also, any song from A Hard Days Night, is classic. You need to react to the movie where all that great music takes place. Also, they are hilarious in portraying the life they were living at that time. Fame in the early 1960’s.

Great reaction as always, and Jay, to answer your question of who that guy is, his name is Jimmie Nicol, he played drums for 8 concerts in 1964 when Ringo was ill and in hospital

They played different styles of music in so many different ways but always sounded like The Beatles

In the Summer of 1964, Ringo Starr got Tonsillitis, and had to get his tonsils removed surgically. While Starr was in the hospital, The Beatles hired Jimmie Nichol to temporarily replace him on a few TV performances, and for 8 concerts before Ringo Starr returned to the tour in Melbourne, Australia.

Greatest band ever - it will never happen again.

One of their best songs. They even left the last verse in where he had Desmond and Molly switching places.

I don’t think they noticed that! (It was wrong on the subtitles.)

Marmalade done a good version. I think it got to number one in the British single charts.

That last refrain was a mistake, but they liked it and thought it was funny, so they left it in.

There was a tv show I used to watch and loved that used this song as their beginning called "Life goes on."

This one is a personal favorite of mine love the energy love the story to the lyrics all around great Beatles song!!

The Beatles shaped my childhood. I grew up loving this song! For a heavy metal vibe, try their song Helter Skelter.

I think they would be more blown away by Helter Skelter than they were by Revolution. Good choice

The beauty, and artistry, of The Beatles is that their songs will come back into your mind and you get a whole new level of meaning from them.

Cleared my curiosity. This was written by Paul and John in 1968 and on their Beatles White Album. Performed by Marmalade in 1969, and it was a number one hit in the UK charts.

To answer the “Who is that?”, question. He was a fill in drummer for a little bit when Ringo was having his tonsils out. Name is Jimmy Nicol.

oh - not ah - bla di, oh bla da, life goes on . . . as always, I love your reaction! You were both born in the wrong era, but I'm happy you are discovering our music now, and sharing your discoveries with everyone on KZread!

I have a Beatles suggestion. When their music hit American radios I was 6 or 7 years old.. My oldest sibling was 15 or 16. My sister was a pre-teen and Paul was her favorite Beatle😍🥰 I can still remember her face turning red when “All My Loving” came on!! Give it a listen! 👍

One of the big memories from my childhood. I was likely 7 or 8 years old. I loved it!! And still do!!!

*"HELTER SKELTER"* She's coming down fast! The Beatles - *Yellow Submarine* / Written as a children's song by Paul and John sung by Ringo Huge Radio Hit and Second on Billboard's Music mid 60s Hit List

I believe this was one of the first Beatles songs I heard as a kid, used as the them song for a great show called Life Goes On. It remains one of my favorites.

I LOOOVE this song, so much fun to just sing a long. . You go Jay with telling that lady you know some good a$$ music
