Hey Bulldog

It was four-headed, Emmelstone. But that is definatly one of the best parts of the movie. Next to "It's All Too Much", of course.

I think there's a danger that many walk into: assuming that a song (or anything else I suppose) has no "real meaning" unless there's a linear thought that's immediately conveyed. The individual fragments hold meanings within themselves, and they can formulate an overall "message", or may just be great moments in the general discourse, a la "I am the Walrus", or even "Tomorrow Never Knows" (transplanting the Tibetan Book of the Dead phrases piece by piece to blow our collective minds ^.^) . Even if "Some kind of innocence is measured out in years" has no real significance to Lennon, I like to think that, subconsciously at least, he's referring to the innocence of youth, etc...

lol, most dogs are four-legged... that dog was 3 headed though. I agree, great song, great scene too. I wish I could climb through a piano like that... But I have no idea what this song's about. Let alone why it's got a bulldog in it.

This song deffinetly doesnt get enough credit...

"If I'm not mistaken, I think the song started out with Bullfrog instead, and was changed to Bulldog when Paul was yelping and woofing or something, someone let me know if I have this wrong..."

I think that is correct, as far as i know.

I think this song is about people who are standoff-ish and arrogant. immature/childlike... listening to your fears. people might just relate to you and get to know you if you open up... that sorta thing. happiness/loneliness

i love this song, i don't register it as a stab at paul. it's a fun song about little people who act big. like my bulldog :D

The best song on Yellow Submarine. This part of the movie is great too. I love the four legged dog.

hmmm... perhaps it's like the "british bulldog"?

This was the fastest produced song by The Beatles, written and recorded within 24 hours! This song, as with "And Your Bird Can Sing" was John's attempt to prove he can quickly write a song about "nothing"....or so he says. Personally, I think he started the song with that thought in mind, but I think he ended up writing in a few zingers thrown at Paul...."what makes you think you're something special when you smile?"..."you don't know what it's like to listen to you're fears"....and "if you're lonely you can talk to me". Given the time period that this song was written, I'm sure those lyrics are referring Paul. The bulldog was Paul.

I personally think it was a mockery of the growing field of psychology at the time.
