"Yellow Submarine" is a song from the band's 1966 album Revolver. It was also issued on a double A-side single, paired with "Eleanor Rigby". The Beatles recorded "Yellow Submarine" during a period characterised by experimentation in the record studio. The furious track is described as Children's music, psychedelia and music hall. It contains many unusual sound effects overdubs, generated with chains, bells, whistles, hooters, the whirring of machinery, a tin bath, a cash till, and a brass band. George Martin drew on his experience as a producer of comedy records for Beyond The Fringe and members of the Goons. "Yellow Submarine" went to the top position in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Austria, New Zealand, Ireland, and it climbed at no.3 on the Global Year-End Chart with 7,660,000 points.
