Agree 100%…this is a fine song by John describing life in the suburbs, don’t know why he called it “a piece of garbage”

not a brit but as an american, it’s common to add ah or ugh to the end of something you keep repeating as sort of a sigh. like when you enter your office and you keep mindlessly smiling and saying good morning on the way to your cubicle.

Either an alto, tenor, and a baritone, or two tenors and a bari were used. The bari is most prominent.

Since I’m not a native speaker of English, I’ve always been a little intrigued by the pronunciation: “Good morning, good morning, good morningAH”.
Why do they do this? Is it for comic effect? Does it sound ridiculously posh, or something?

That’s interesting! I assume the film used the same library recording, rather than the Beatles sampling the sound from the film.

In stereo – in the channel that has the saxes- when they aren’t playing, there’s a clicking – or at least that’s all I can hear. It almost sounds like close up valve fingering w/o any sound. Any ideas?

I don’t think anyone has mentioned that the sounds of the dogs barking at the end of the song is from the fox hunt in the movie “Tom Jones.” I was watching the movie for the first time many, many years ago, and the fox hunt got going, and suddenly a little piece of my brain lit up and said, “That’s sounds exactly like the end of ‘Good Morning, Good Morning!”” Take a listen to the movie and you’ll see what I mean. It’s exactly the same sounds, same dogs, same horn blowing, etc.

According to Phillip Norman’s biography of Lennon, it’s possibly a reference to an artist named Yoko Ono that John was hoping to run into at a gallery.

uhh the lyrics to this song are very dark and autobiographical… he’s probably talking about cynthia and julian in the beginning… uhh… paul said john was “disturbed.” seems accurate

great song though

Giles Martin ( when doing the 50th Anniversary mix), said that Paul and Ringo played two bass drums…so you are right.

I can only hear one guitar played by John besides the solo. Is there a guitar by George

Giles Martin appears to have confirmed that Paul plays a floor Tom.

You don’t give Ringo much credit as a drummer, do you..

One of Lennon’s greatest songs, in my view. I don’t see why he dismisses it. Great acid song. We lived in suburbia. We were acid-drenched. And we had nothing to say, but it’s OK.
We saw life, the comings and goings of our parents and neighbors, in a very different light. This song captures this perspective perfectly. I guess that you had to be there.
It is indeed a rather perfect pop, rock song; IMHO. “A Day In The Life” seems rather pretentious next to it.

“Go to a show, you hope she goes.” Is John going into a strip club, looking for a chippie? Know whatahmean, nudge nudge!

Harrison played many good solos, that in Something is wonderful, but very different from McCartney´s in Good morning, good morning and Taxman. McCartney´s solos in those two songs are really astonishing, where did that come from? So original and different.

I wonder if this is one of those tracks where Paul snuck back in after Ringo and re-did the drums .. the reason is, this is one of my favourite Beatles tracks in terms of drums ..

Interesting that Lennon could often be so dismissive of his own work. Except for “Day in the Life”, this has always been one of my favorite tracks on Sgt Pepper.

Loved this song from the first time I obtained “Sgt Pepper”. I have the mono version I got for my 12th birthday in 1978 and I love the way the chicken noises lead into “Sgt Pepper” Reprise and McCartney counting down. Well known how John Lennon got the idea from a TV commercial. I for one love the guitar solo on this.
