and now the part of Yellow Submarine where John trips balls in the foothills of the headlands and thinks he's Fred Astaire

and is visited by Epona, Celtic goddess of horses.

@Leucrotta Oh, there's a MOVIE!

The only Yellow Submarine we know is the Beatles song, so yeah, I was quite confused. :3

@Ylfingr There's a movie! It's the only one of the movies the Beatles were contracted to do which is actually a cartoon. The Yellow Submarine itself is a big chunk of the story. It's mostly songs from Revolver and Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

There'd BEEN a Beatles TV cartoon as part of their popularity and they really didn't like it, so they assumed the movie was going to be the same style as the TV cartoon and it became a dumping ground for stuff that didn't make Sergeant Pepper's so they just had it around, plus "Only a Northern Song" which was George basically writing about how he didn't want to write anything for the movie.

Then the movie turned out to be this colorful trippy love-fest and the band LOVED it.

@Leucrotta (also that's long? pff that's nothing. :3)
