Ob BLa Di Ob BLa Da was penned by Paul McCartney and featured on their eponymous 1968 album, commonly known as the "White Album." Recorded amidst the Beatles' exploration of transcendental meditation in Rishikesh, India, under the guidance of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, this song carries a lively reggae-infused beat, highlighted by a buoyant piano melody and recurring handclaps.
The lyrics whimsically narrate the everyday adventures of Desmond and Molly Jones, encapsulating the essence of their ordinary yet vibrant life. The catchy chorus, with the repeated refrain "Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on," has since become an enduring catchphrase adored by many.
Despite its popularity, "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" did not make it as a single release by the Beatles. Nevertheless, it has solidified its status as a beloved Beatles classic, inviting countless renditions by diverse artists across the years. The song's charm has extended into various cinematic works, television series, and advertisements, embedding itself firmly within the fabric of popular culture.
However, McCartney, its creator, has at times expressed a sense of overshadowing, believing that the song's immense success might have diverted attention from some of his more artistically earnest contributions with the Beatles.
Penny Lane was paired up with the song Strawberry Fields as a single in 1967. It's a street in Liverpool England. A barber shop used to be there where the members of the band used to frequent.
