Chris Reacts To the Beatles - Day Tripper
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ส.ค. 2024
- Today we dive into legendary English rock band the Beatles. "Day Tripper" was released as a double A-side with "We Can Work It Out" in December 1965. In the UK, this would become the seventh highest selling single of the 1960's!
What Do Ya'll Think !?
From the Beatles Bible: The song was a knowing reference to the burgeoning drugs-based counterculture of the mid-1960s. ‘Day tripper’ was a slang term for someone who failed to fully embrace the hippy lifestyle.
John: "That’s mine. Including the lick, the guitar break and the whole bit. It’s just a rock ‘n’ roll song. Day trippers are people who go on a day trip, right? Usually on a ferryboat or something. But it was kind of - you know, you’re just a weekend hippie. Get it?"
Well technically there was no hippie movement in the fall of 1965. LOL.....but that interview was from 1980, if I recall. I think he was referring to recreational drugs.
@@KingArthur2-qb8wx The term "Trip" came from Timothy Leary. I will need to discover what year he first coined that phrase.
The guitar riff is one of my all time favorites, from any band.
Cause THAT riff is one of the most incredible riff human ever create
Well, if I'm not mistaken, it's a double meaning. I think the term, "day tripper" was a common British term for one day excursions or holidays. Hence, the great comparison.
I remember Paul explaining that in an interview.
This was the A-side of their single "Day Tripper"/"We Can Work It Out". Both songs were so good it went out as a double A-side single and both songs quickly shot to #1 on the UK and American charts. Crazy thing is that this single was released on the same day as their iconic Lp "Rubber Soul" one of the all time great albums.
Who releases both on the same day? The Beatles, that's who. They had several double A-side singles in their short recording career, nobody else has even had one.
Lennon always called "Rubber Soul" the Pot album and these two songs were here recorded during these sessions so your psychedelic take was a little early.
Actually, their first LSD inspired song recorded was "Rain" written by John and was the B-side of the song "Paperback Writer" single released on June 10th, 1966 so you were six months early. "Rain" was the first LSD inspired song recorded after John and George began taking the drug and it's one hell of a song. So many first recording techniques on this one. The technology wasn't in place yet for this song, they had to create as they were recording it.
Listen to "We Can Work It Out" a great song and a great video with it. I don't know if this is your son or nephew, I can't remember but you should really dive into "Rubber Soul" with him and let him experience it.
John's "Nowhere Man" and not a live one but off of the album is an absolute must, The Beatles at there top notch best.
His songs "Girl" and "In My Life" are must listens along with his
"Norwegian Wood"
Listen to these and you'll smell like pot afterwards without smoking it. This Lp is a total vibe and in my top three favorite Beatles LP's and that's saying something. Just make sure you dive into the UK version of this Lp and not the US Capitol record.
Capitol ripped the American fans a lot.
Compare the two playlists and you'll see what I'm talking about. If you get to "Rain" and you really, really should, make sure it's the 2022 remix version, it sounds incredible.
Last September they released the remix of their "Revolver" which just may be my favor Beatles Lp ever. Included was a bonus disc which was mainly demos and different out takes of songs from the Lp but on that disc two we got the remix of the "Paperback Writer"/
"Rain single and they sound incredible like they were recorded today and "Revolver" sounds incredible.
Between December, 1965 and May, 1967 The Beatles gave the world the greatest ever three consecutive Lp run in history. "Rubber Soul"
"Revolver" and "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" in that order and listen to the growth, variety and diversity of the music in a 17 month period and then get back to me and tell me they're not the greatest band ever and I'll be more than happy too tell you your full of BS
Period! End of story.
There will never be another Beatles. Just like people who study music theory, you know, unlike us, people who really know music will tell you that The Beatles music will be studied, played and enjoyed 100 years from now just as we still study and enjoy Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and others today 200 years later.
That's how important The Beatles music is in history. They say if history is correct we won't see another Lennon/McCartney and Beatles for about another 100 to 150 years. There is one more artist that they put up there with The Beatles and that's Bob Dylan. He too will be studied and played in the future like The Beatles. These two are the outliers of the 20th century .
Your Pink Floyd's, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Rolling Stones, Elvis, Frank Sinatra will be footnotes in history. Those aren't my words so don't jump me. John Lennon + Paul McCartney + George Harrison + Ringo Starr = The Beatles + Bob Dylan = The two all time GOAT'S of popular music.
All other claimant's are pretenders to the throne. Hope this was a little helpful info for your Beatles journey in the future.
Peace ❤❤
Day Tripper was as John Lennon said was about people who would go on a trip on the weekend but would go back to their mundane office job on a Monday. He was quite scathing about this breed of people who emerged at this time. Also the line "She's a big teaser" was actually actually originally "She's a prick teaser"
Prick being a British slang word for the male member as it were. A lot going on in one simple little song. I love that song
Not a drug song. It's about one night stands.
Hi there can I just say something you've just put on the comment they wasn't a drug song have to correct you it was that's not from me as from John Lennon himself there is an actual interview with him saying that day triple was basically a drug song
Sorry you guys I have to correct you again you've just said Lucy in the sky and diamonds was about drugs it wasn't about drugs at all what crappy talking see you Americans don't know everything you think you do but you don't I'm John from England ok and I know more about The Beatles and you probably ever will do in fact Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was actually inspired buy John's first son Julian who came back from a school with a picture and John Lennon City what is the picture and Julian said it's Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds and that's how John wrote the song
Listen closely to the lyrics guys
@@john0597 it may have been inspired by Julian's picture, but they were doing a lot of LSD at the time and the imagery is definitely about tripping and all the better for it.
It's about drugs. John was asking are you a full-time drug user (committed to the lifestyle) or are you a a weekend or "day" tripper -- an occasional user. Lennon cloaked his lyrical intentions pretty well, but he freely admitted this angle in post-Beatle interviews.
Also, look it up. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds was the title of a picture John's son, Julian made at school. Lucy was a classmate of Julian. Not everything is about drugs, dude.
THANK you, I was going to point out the SAME thing. ALSO, John was a BIG fan of the author LEWIS CARROLL who wrote "ALICE IN WONDERLAND" and "ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS" THUS the lyrics and images that John created is a VERY "Alice in Wonderland" fanciful world. It's NOT about an LSD trip.
Gteat song byThe Beatles! Always like this Beatles track.
Day tripper is about someone who just goes to work on the same train or bus
the girl is not taking him seriously.
Not about drugs
Both paul and john said it was a drug song about doing acid - they combined the usual definition of a day tripper with the idea of tripping on acid - it's odd that people seem to forget that so many of their songs involved clever wordplay
@@WeirdScienceComics No they claimed it was about a Prostitute. In those days when Prostitutes were given a bus ticket when they were let out of Jail. Also the line One Night Stand was in line with her profession.
@@coleparker 100% false! It was word play to make fun of casual drug users who thought they were hip - you keep regurgitating the same false nonsense! Do yourself a favor and type "is day tripper a drug song" and read what John and Paul said about it and not your made up stories going on in your head. There is no interview where john or paul said it was about a prostitute - they made fun of Time Magazine saying it was that
Ever heard of a double meaning? That’s what this is, and is confirmed by the writers themselves. You seriously think the Beatles named a song “Day Tripper” in 1965 without knowing what they were doing? Cmon man.
👏🏽👏🏽 Early Beatles songs were deceptively simple because they were actually very complex (that’s why they’re all damn near impossible to replicate.) 🤌🏽🤌🏽
Early Beatles is SO GREAT! Chris is just so sweet and adorable! Love when he’s on. ❤
He's Blushing 😊
He's Blushing ☺️
So proud to have this record, unfortunately I've played it so many many many times that the quality isn't the best 😅 even "We can work it out" was a favourite! At the time I was 8 yrs old and didn't realize what they sung about, thought she wanted a ride in bike or something...lol...this was my first own record and I was immediately struck by The Beatles, it has never changed...and their Music is "evergreen, will always be part of human heritage! Glad Chris likes it, thanks to both of you!!
Mine is the same, I also think over time vinyl degrades ? Well it was my Mother's copy and it never had a sleeve. But yeh I inherited a bunch of Beatles 45s from her and I will never part with them !
@@coachtomas Nothing to do with today's technique obviously, anything would have damaged them, a bad needle, some dust, even the fingerprints...let's say it's charming how each vinyl has it's own "story" imprinted!! Even the recording technique was bad, I remember the marvelous sensation of the first vinyls in stereo...we've definitely made progress!!
I was only a really little kid when this came out but because it was still heavily in the environment a little bit later when I became aware, it's highly influential. They influence so many bands so many decades later even. Just a bunch of blue caller Family Guys as kids growing up in the really tough Port of Liverpool. They played in some of what I would regard to be really hardcore punk audiences and then slightly more upscale in Hamburg Germany for a while where they picked up Ringo and then when they finally came back and exploded, they were so tight and so seasoned. It's hard to appreciate now how different they were.
Enjoyed your reaction to one of my favorite Beatle's song. To put this in perspective of the year 1965; the lads, as they were called, were ages 22, George on lead guitar to the oldest, Ringo age 25, on the drum kit. John and Paul were 23 or 24. When you examine the phenomenal music of the 60s, most songwriters and performers were teenagers to at most 30. i was 14 when this came out.
Beatles'
Once upon a time ,in 1965, they said this song was the Beatles' reply to Rolling Stones' Satisfaction as a dance song!!! At that time I was 16 and confirm it! Hi from Italy!!!
That's an important thing - to pass on your musical treasure box of favourites to the next generation - 100%.
Sorry guys, I forgot to mention that "Day Tripper"/" We Can Work It Out" and their "Rubber Soul" Lp were both released on December 3rd, 1965.
Peace ❤❤
Day Tripper - the best riff of all time!
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is not about drugs or tripping. It is about a drawing by John's son, and John had been writing like that since childhood.
This song and its flip side song We Can Work It Out were both marked as Side A's, a first. We Can Work It Out foretold A Day In The Life, in that both featured John and Paul doing separate middle 8 sections -- John in We Can Work It Out and Paul in A Day In The Life. The sound of Day Tripper in 1965 was a tremendous change for listeners, something that eludes people today. You had to be there.
Greatest Rock n Pop Band of all time!! 👍👍😎
John Lennon said in a 1980 interview that "Day Tripper" is about a weekend hippie.
Lennon recalled: "Day trippers are people who go on a day trip, right? Usually on a ferryboat or something. But [the song] was kind of ... 'you're just a weekend hippie.' Get it?"
(Wikipedia)
This isn't a tune that I know well, but it's always nice to hear The Beatles.
This song wasn't about drugs. It was about a day trip with a date who was a tease. "It took me so long to find out".
wrong
This song wasn’t about drugs. I don’t think they had really started drugs at this time. About going somewhere different but not staying overnight. A day tripper.
they started doing drugs (pot) durning Help! (half year before that song) and started already with lsd around Rubber Soul where this song fits in
John called it a "drug song" and in 2004 Paul said it was about acid
ITS NOT ABOUT DRUGS!!!
It’s about finding you’ve been used and discarded by a woman.
Both john and paul said it's a drug song
@@WeirdScienceComics No they did not.
@@coleparker john 1970 interview said about Day Tripper - "It wasn’t a serious message song. It was a drug song."
Paul in a 2004 AP interview - ‘Day Tripper,’ that’s one about acid"
@@WeirdScienceComics Yes I read that in Wikapedia as well. However, in earlier Rock magazines like Rolling Stone, and Rock Music, they told the same story I mentioned. So which is the truth? They were constantly changing their stories.
I agree
The irony about "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is the acronym spells out L.S.D. and the imagery and illusory seem to crackle with the drug trip and yet it really was just about Julian's school mate.
The one song that seemed to most point out the times and the drug culture was much less innocent.
I guess that is just more evidence of how creative these boys were.
A Day Trip is a one-day excursion within a vacation.
Yes, I was going to say the same thing, not about drugs at all. Son also has to realize when this came out, it was a total new sound. So it made a huge impact...all new Beatles tunes did. The Beatles would put out a new song, the everyone would try to up with something with a similar sound. The Beatles were just amazing...still are.
Tripping was a term used for more than just drugs. A relationship could also be referred to as a "trip."
♥
Have him react to Revolution by the Beatles please
Not a drug song. There's been many ideas of course but Macca said it was about a one day train trip with several different influences. Even the fact there's a British town called Ride.
A day trip where you thought you were on for a bit of a snog and a grope on the coach on the way back from Blackpool
I was sure this isn't about drugs, so I looked it up.
Day tripper' was a slang term for someone who failed to fully embrace the hippy lifestyle.
The song is not about tripping on LSD.
According to both John Lennon and Paul McCartney it was. I didn’t think it was at the time, but there have been later interviews with the boys where they say it was. Of course Day Trippers is a term for people that take mini one day trips as little vacations, but Lennon/McCartney used the term to slyly make a drug reference.
I never thought of this as a drug song. It’s more of a “somebody got dumped” song. If you want a drug song “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” is a perfect description of an acid trip. 🌺✌️
No, "Day Tripper" is not about drugs. "Day tripping" was like a day's vacation.
It was not about taking LSD.. it's about a short-lived encounter
Your dad might be surprised after he listens to some of John Lennon's interviews. It's understandable to think Lucy in the Sky was an LSD drug song. I though the same thing, and I grew up with the music, too.
Turns out the title was inspired by frig art created by his daughter !! GO FIGURE.
Same thing with Day Tripper. NOT about trippin' to drugs.
THAT'S the beauty with the Beatles. Their song titles and lyrics aren't always what they seem.
John Lennon quote: That’s mine. Including the lick, the guitar break and the whole bit. It’s just a rock ‘n’ roll song. Day trippers are people who go on a day trip, right? Usually on a ferryboat or something. But it was kind of - you know, you’re just a weekend hippie. Get it?
It was not about drugs, it was about getting on a coach[bus] and going on an excursion.
Add a trip is like a holiday for one day
This song is about a prostitute, not drugs. And Lucy in the Sky was an actual drawing John's son brought home from school, with his friend Lucy in the sky with stars around her. The critics made the LSD connection, and then let Lennon know. Got to get you into my life, is the only real drug song the beatles made. Paul is begging marijuana to enter his life. In 1965 the Beatles hadn't been "dosed:" until after this song was written, by George's dentist at a dinner party, without John, George and their wives consent.
John and paul both said it was a drug song about people who weren't fully embracing the hippie drug culture.
@@WeirdScienceComics Mike is right, your are wrong.
@@coleparker sure, I won't listen to what John and Paul have said and believe mike - the prostitute thing is what the press thought. There are legit interviews with John and Paul explaining it, but they are wrong and mike is right!
Lennon repeatedly said "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" had zero to do with drugs. People made that up in their own heads.
There is no proof, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is LSD-related. All band members always stated the opposite.
Lennon said this was the only beatkes drug song
Not a drugs song and certainly not psych...just a really strong beatles track
You should check out the live version by Ocean Colour Scene with Liam & Noel Gallagher 🔥
Nothing to do with drugs and it was way before the psychedelic scene came along. It was about a girl. A day trip had nothing to do with drugs, it was going out somewhere for the day.
If you pay attention to Ringos fills on this song, he plays them backwards.......
Not about tripping
It’s about getting laid and then getting lost
Sorry my friend but this song is not about drug at all, by Day tripper they ment somebody kind of lunatic. Believe me the drug was not so present in 65 we were more into drinking and maybe a little pot I was 13 in 65 but well aware of what was happening around!
I think this song is more about breaking up with a girl because she was cheating on her man, not about drugs.
This song has nothing to do with drugs. His girl has been stepping out on him. The "drug" songs didn't really start until the album "Rubber Soul", and it was pot. The acid stuff started maybe in "Revolver", but mostly in "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Cub Band".
I thought it was about a girl who teases guys!!!
It's not a drug song.
Oh, but this is not a drug song. a one night stand or possibly a prostitute but it’s not a drug song. Plenty of songs about drugs and things influences stuff like that …but this was not one of them.. missed the call on this.
Not Psychedelic.
Sorry, but you are wrong. This is not a song about drugs. It's about a girl who "only plays one night stands" as the song says.
Hi there I'm John from England I think you're jumping a bit too far ahead day Tripper was a drug song but I think it was more to do with them smoking marijuana which was introduced to them by the way by Bob Dylan
Its about sex, or the lack of it
You are wrong about it being a drug song! Listen to the words it's about a girl who is a one night stand and day tripper is exactly what it sounds like!
No. Not a drug song. Day Tripper has a specific meaning in Britain. Bad review.
Not everything was about drugs. This one's about sex.
OMG!! Get your interpretation right. This is NOT a song about drugs. It's about a flighty girl who can't commit; she prefers to not stick around, there for only a day, no longer.
Boy did this old guy get it wrong. The whole song was in fact about a prostitute. Paul and John stated that in an interview.
No, they made fun of newspapers saying it during a press conference!
@@WeirdScienceComics That is the thing about the group. They were constantly changing their replies.
@@coleparker nope - there is no interview where they say it’s about prostitutes - and when you say there is, provide a link for it
@@WeirdScienceComics Why, you would not believe them if I did. I gave you two sources Rolling Stone magazine 1968 and a Rock magazine, Sorry I cannot remember the name at this point. Also I have found through experience not to accept Wikapeadia as the ultimate source. Think about this, there is no real citation associated with the two interviews you cited. Also if you read their various past interviews in their entirety different answers by them are given at various times for the same question, especially when it comes to who wrote what in songs.
@@coleparker there are 100% citations! You make excuses - there is no way that the beatles would have ever said a song they wrote was about a prostitute at the time or the song would have been banned, which it 100% was not! I’m still waiting for a link, but you’ll make up excuses… btw, paul’s interview about it was from a 2004 Daily Mirror interview, he also said it in the 1997 book, Paul McCartney Many Years from Now and the John Lennon interview from 1970 was reprinted in the Beatles Anthology book that was a companion to the documentary and he said it again in 1980 in his last major interview with David Sheff which then was printed as a book, “All We Are Saying” btw, because you only looked at wikipedia, doesn’t mean I did!
Not a drug song. You are so wrong.
Yes, of course it was a drug song, but of course it was disguised as a song about a girl. At the time, it would have been impossible to sing about drugs. And they didn't do it to be "cool", but talked about their own experiences.
They NEVER were on drugs while working.
don't agree with your explanation .... this is about a girl that doesn't want a relationship ....
Guy on the left seems to have no rhythm in him
Not a drug song. I am turning off
Almost as good as Oasis ✌️🏴
LMAO 🤣!
Ha.
Really can't figure out what all the fuss was about with this mediocre, average pop band!!!!!!!!!!!!
troll....and a clueless one at that
There's a reason why they are considered the most influential band of all time and sold more records than any band in history. If you think they are a "pop" band you need to do your homework.
The problem is you and there's nothing we can do..
Seek counseling...immediately!!
