Day Tripper was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and released by the Beatles in 1965. The song is notable for its clever wordplay and distinctive guitar riff, and it tackles the theme of a fair-weather activist, essentially critiquing those who are only superficially committed to cultural or social change. It was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
