The Beatles & The Outstanding Hey Bulldog!

Hey Bulldog is such a darn good tune.  I've been a Beatles fan ever since a friend of mine introduced me to Abbey Road in high school. I would start picking up whatever albums I could.  The Yellow Submarine album had this treasure. I've played it in bands through college and later solo.  Here's a piano rendition I did at a Nitida Ridge performance.

There's are neat transitions of minor to major keys and back throughout.  Just masterful song-writing.

Another neat thing about the original is that it was one of the rare tunes that a video could be pieced together from their studio performances. Check it out:
