Yellow Submarine was composed by Paul McCartney (credited to Lennon-McCartney) and was released by The Beatles in 1966. The song was made for Ringo Starr to sing and has a child-friendly vibe. The idea for the song came from McCartney, who imagined a story about a yellow submarine that takes people to a place of safety. Yellow Submarine is known for its appealing simplicity to all ages and has become one of The Beatles most famous songs.
