"Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles is a cheerful and whimsical pop song typically performed in the key of E major. Released in 1966 as part of their album "Revolver," the song was composed primarily by Paul McCartney, with contributions from John Lennon. The Beatles, a legendary British rock band, are both the interpreters and composers of the song. Notably, "Yellow Submarine" features a playful and imaginative narrative about a colorful submarine journey, with catchy lyrics and a sing-along chorus. The melody is characterized by its upbeat tempo, catchy guitar riffs, and quirky instrumentation, including the use of sound effects to mimic the sounds of underwater adventures.
