The Beatles  playing reggae. Paul's Ob-La-Di, Ob-la-Da remains this album's most successful and best remembered song and one of a great many Beatles album tracks to be turned into successful singles for others. (The Marmalades scored a number one hit with it December 1968 while, at the same time, the Bedrock's scored a minor chart hit with a cover version which accentuated the song's reggae feel.) In this Beatles version, listen carefully for John and George's almost-buried-in-the-mix shouts of "arm", "leg" and "foot" whenever Paul sings the "lend a hand" lyric.

If you listen to this track in Dolby surround, this and other talking can be heard much cleared, specially if you turn off all but the rear speakers.
