Baby, You're a Rich Man

Today's song is "Baby, You're a Rich Man". It was originally written for the Yellow Submarine film. According to Wikipedia: 

Two song fragments were combined to create "Baby, You're a Rich Man". The verses from "One of the Beautiful People" by John Lennon were combined with Paul McCartney's previously unaccompanied "Baby, you're a rich man …" chorus. Two songs were combined in a similar fashion to make "A Day in the Life", and "I've Got a Feeling".

It's an interesting song, with a fantastically odd, galumphing beat and vocals that alternate between high and just plain loud. The lyrics are sufficiently strange as well; the titular "Baby, you're a rich man" is just off-setting enough to fully capture whatever attention wasn't gotten with the music itself. I like it. :)

That's all for now. See you tomorrow.
