The Beatles Stuffology Podcast

Tomorrow Never Knows

Time to round off Revolver with the mighty Tomorrow Never Knows, as JG and Andrew take a dive into psychedelia. Or do they?

Does the song deserve its towering reputation and Capital-I Importance? Do we think Lennon really understood what it was he was writing about? And just how critical is George Martin this time out?

Got To Get You Into My Life

Revolver is nearly done but before we get to the totemic final track, there's Got To Get You Into My Life to tackle.

Does the song work as a Motown/Stax homage? Does it matter that it's actually about drugs? And how are the guitars sounding at this point in the album?

I Want To Tell You

It's time for George's third go-around on Revolver as I Want To Tell You takes its spot in the limelight. Can George justify an unprecedented three songs on an album? Does the song succeed in capturing the uncapturable flow of ideas he wanted to express? And just what could put Andrew off JG? (You know, apart from everything)

Doctor Robert

Time to visit a medical practitioner for this episode as JG and Andrew pay a visit to Doctor Robert.

Is it really about some alleged New York doctor? Is the NHS a worthy recipient of a Lennon lyric? And can the Beat Bugs really be the best cover version of this song?

For No-One

This podcast is definitely for someone but also, in a very real sense, For No One.

Does the song's air of detached melancholy work? How good is that solo? And can any of the cover versions manage to capture the austere distance of the original?

And Your Bird Can Sing

Time for something tuneful this episode as JG and Andrew tackle And Your Bird Can Sing. Does the song maintain the quality of the album? How much fun can be contained in one song? And are there any interesting cover versions?

Good Day Sunshine

It's time to let a little light into our lives this time out as Good Day Sunshine emerges from behind the clouds to kick off Side 2.

How does the song work as an opener for the second side? Are there any outstanding moments? And why (oh why, oh why) does Robbie Williams's godawful "Angels" get a mention? Plus, "excitingly", how long can two old men ramble on for before getting to the sodding point already?

She Said, She Said

Surrealism, pretentious, or something else is the question posed as Revolver's first side bows out with She Said, She Said.

Does the song round the first side off in a satisfactory way? Does it suffer from (probably) not having McCartney on it? And what has Peggy Suicide got to do with any of this?

Yellow Submarine

It's time for a brightly-lit stroll down happiness lane as Yellow Submarine joyfully bobs into sight.

Why is the song compared to A Day In The Life? Is it "just" a children's song or is there really a deeper meaning? And how many films can be inspired by Beatles song titles?

Here, There, And Everywhere

Time for some balladeering on Stuffology this episode as Here, There, And Everywhere wafts into view.

Is McCartney right when he describes this as his best song? Was Lennon? And does the song work as a capital-S Standard?
