The story behind
The Beatles recorded "All Together Now" in May 1967, at the EMI studio in London. The song remained in the vault until it was included in the album Yellow Submarine in January 1969. It was released as a single in 1972, in France and Germany, accompanied by "Hey Bulldog".
Paul McCartney described it as a children's song, with a title that evokes the tradition of the music halls, where the audience joined in the singing. The lyrics have a double meaning: "all together now" can be interpreted as an invitation to participate or as a phrase that suggests unity. The recording was quick, less than six hours, and the last take was used to add effects. The chorus, in a party style, was done by those who were nearby. The song appears in the film Yellow Submarine, with versions in several languages written on screen. McCartney first performed it live in 2013, in Brazil.
