Yellow Submarine

"Yellow Submarine" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1966 album Revolver. It was also issued on a double A-side single, paired with "Eleanor Rigby". Written as a children's song by Paul McCartney and John Lennon, it was drummer Ringo Starr's vocal spot on the album. The single went to number one on charts in the United Kingdom and several other European countries, and in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. It won an Ivor Novello Award for the highest certified sales of any single written by a British songwriter and issued in the UK in 1966. In the US, the song peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The Beatles recorded "Yellow Submarine" during a period characterised by experimentation in the recording studio. After taping the basic track and vocals in late May 1966, they held a session to overdub nautical sound effects, party ambience and chorus singing, recalling producer George Martin's previous work with members of the Goons. As a novelty song coupled with "Eleanor Rigby", a track devoid of any rock instrumentation, the single marked a radical departure for the group. It was also the first time they had issued a single in the UK consisting of album tracks. The song inspired the 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine and appeared as the opening track on the accompanying soundtrack album.

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine....

As we live a life of ease

Everyone of us has all we need (has all we need)
Sky of blue (sky of blue) and sea of green (and sea of green)
In our yellow submarine (in our yellow, submarine, ha ha)

We all live in a yellow submarine!

At the GZ you will find a small metal box labeled with the GC logo. Inside you will be immersed into an undersea world aboard the Yellow Submarine! Hope you enjoy all the details and fun! The log is inside the blue scuba tank, er, I mean bison tube! You will notice a small red button on the side. I encourage you to press the button! Be sure to press it again before closing the lid.

This fun cache is brought to you by my little buddy Marauder Jude. We had a blast making this one, in particular cutting the submarine in half to fit! Ok, I did that part and I was really scared for my fingers! No fish were harmed in the building of this one, but they may have lost a few MORE decorations! Truth is after raiding the fish tank, we had to buy a new tank, new decorations, and more fish!
