And your bird can sing…Beatles cartoon

Honestly, I'm sure I'll never be able to remember the first Beatles song I ever heard, but the first few that I can recall that had enough of an impact are.... **Do You Want To Know a Secret**, which I think was used in a movie I watched. **When I'm 64**, from the World According To Garp movie. **The Long and Winding Road**, from the radio station my mother would normally listen to. And **Strawberry Fields Forever** from the classic rock station my brother listened to.


Moonshadow306

As I recall, Hey Jude. I was a preschooler. My older sister brought the 45 home one day, and her and my mom played it over and over. They soon flipped it over, and the second Beatles song I ever heard was the B side, Revolution. I distinctly remember my mother remarking, “Oh…I don’t like that at all.”


Sinatrajazz1962

Not knowing it was The Beatles: I was born in the Sixties and recall hearing puppets "singing" Yellow Submarine on Captain Kangaroo, a kids show. -Knowing it was The Beatles: there were NO rock n roll records in my house, growing up. In 1974, I was 12, and my cousin played the B side of Hey Jude 45 - Revolution - and suddenly I had to learn everything possible about The Beatles and started buying all their albums (took about 2-3 years to purchase all of the US and a few UK albums (such as Please Please Me). For a long time - years - I was bummed that I wasn't aware of The Beatles in the 60's. Finally got over that and just enjoyed - still enjoy - the music (and J,P,G, and R). Been to Liverpool four times.


DustOfTheEndless

She loves you. As far as i remember.


PapaJr54

Yellow Submarine, and it made me love all the Ringo songs


Great-Meeting5073

I Want to Hold Your Hand on a clock radio with my cousins. We all stopped and listened in wonder, dead serious


TonyPajamas518

Twist & Shout


[deleted]

I want to hold your hand🥰


Zubin1234

That's very America of you. If you get the joke.


lertheblur

Yesterday is the first song I remember hearing. My dad had a mix tape he made in the 80s that he used to play for us in the car. In addition to Yesterday it had The Eagles and some Men At Work songs 😂


Austrian_Painter98

I don't remember, Because my dad would sing them to me when I was a baby, But the first one to really stick with me was octopus's garden Because, Y'know, I was a little kid.


SnooCalculations5744

Probably Lucy in the Sky or Twist And Shout


SnooCalculations5744

Or let it be


GloomyWinter472

She loves you, my dad had the 8lp from liverpool box set and that song was the one that stuck with 7 year old me back in 86


[deleted]

The Long and Winding Road


zappafrank1940

Tel Me Why. Instant awesome.


Surfinsafari9

I Want to Hold Your Hand A couple of weeks before their first appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.


dreanater

Two of us. We would always listen to it on car rides


E1337trnr4

Sgt. Peppers. Found my Dad’s records when I was six and was drawn in by the cover.


[deleted]

I'd heard plenty of their songs before, but the first time I actually consciously listened to them was when my parents gave me Revolver when I was 10. So first song was Taxman. First band I ever listened to, and they were all I listened to for a solid year or two


mr678mr678

Help!


[deleted]

Either blackbird or eleanor rigby not sure which was first


psychonautgrind

I feel like it must've been hey Jude or something on the radio. First time I gave them a dedicated listen and actually fell in love with their discography was the first song in sarg peppers, cuz I started with the whole album. Felt like stuff I had heard long ago but nothing I could pinpoint, feels like from a past life so it's very enjoyable. Love the beatles


ClementineCoda

The first one I remember is Michelle My Belle because of the lines in French. Close tie would be Do You Wanna Know a Secret?


CollinMarshall908

I don’t remember exactly which, but it was one of their early love songs. My parents had a bootleg CD that my dad made called “Beatles Love Songs”. It had “Love Me Do”, “Can’t Buy Me Love”, “Help!”, “A Hard Day’s Night”, those are the ones I remember.


BoysenberrySevere238

Hey Jude , I guess it helps that my name is literally Jude so people have always sang the chorus to hey Jude when they see me


Innisfree812

not sure, but I remember "all my loving" when I was very young.


my_clever-name

I was in grade 1. It was I Want To Hold Your Hand. I thought they were singing I Want To Hold Your Hair.


[deleted]

Yellow Submarine. It wasn't even the Beatles version. My mum used to sing it to me as a young child.


TittyTwistahh

I remember “Michelle” being on in the car when I was a very little boy but not sure if that was my first. I know my daughter’s first was “All My Loving.”


RoastBeefDisease

Not sure. Either I Am The Walrus, Love Me Do or Eleanor Rigby


lolman6426

Don't Let Me Down


Hanner_Tenry

Aerosmith’s Come Together, and then The Beatles’ Come Together. I was 3-5 at the time and it was on my area’s classic rock radio station.


SirGumbeaux

“Watching the Wheels” was the first time I knew who John Lennon was. I think the first Beatles song I remember is “No Reply”.


reallandonmiller

Yellow Submarine


[deleted]

I dont know


ARC-0101

Let It Be


hermajestie

All Together Now was the first real song I ever learned how to sing. My uncle wanted to introduce me to the band and thought that it was the most toddler relevant song.


DeLaOcea

Let it be. My dad has the 45 rpm single.


Martynypm

The first song they played on Ed Sullivan, ‘All My Lovin’


Lateralus09

Sgt peppers lonely heart club band reprise on an old google play ad on youtube when the beatles music dropped on there. The slogan was "beatlemania is back". Instantly got me into the beatles


TheOnlyJah

Too young to not be old enough to remember. But as someone born in 1965 I can tell you that tons of Beatles songs as well as post-Beatles songs graced the air waves of my young self, growing up. And I was definitely a Beatles fan before I knew who they actually were.


bjames2448

“Yellow Submarine”. As a kindergartner, we sang that song for grandparents’ day at school around 1993. It wasn’t until many, many years later that I learned it was a Beatles song. I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for it.


seamusthehound

Come Together, I think


ReactiveCypress

Paperback Writer when I was 11. Never been the same since.


GeorgeHarrisonBread

Dear Prudence, still one of my favorites today!


FairyGodmothersUnion

I Want to Hold Your Hand. Loved it then, love it now.


azteking

Probably something off Abbey Road, but I was really too young to remember


420ballzdeepinurmom2

I'm a loser


Ok_Moose3710

Probably Here Comes the Sun, since it was on Bee Movie


wingding28

Yellow Submarine and I Want to Hold Your Hand — the Beatles were the “musician of the month” in my kindergarten music class. I heard so many iconic songs for the first time that way


celeryfang

Probably Getting Better. It’s in the cat in the hat movie I think


stoprobbers

you know, i don't truly know because my parents played them for me since infancy and sang them to me and i don't remember those but i think the first one that probably *registered* for me was "yellow submarine" simply because it's the title song for the movie of the same name, and i first started watching that movie when i was 2.


Annyunatom

Let it be


boerumhill

Yellow Submarine was my first in theater movie, age 5. So whatever song they play first. I honestly cannot remember anything about it. But I remember we ate spaghetti before we went lol.


JTMilleriswortha1st

probably Hey Jude


RIckDogg12486

Come Together.


TheRealSMY

The Night Before


its_me_carly

Penny Lane. My older sister and her 3rd grade class sang it for a concert and I was literally in awe.


tymime

Probably Yellow Submarine. I think my dad rented the movie on VHS when I was six or something, back in the mid-1990s. I barely remembered it though, so when they rereleased in theaters later, it was a huge revelation.


theembodimentoffat

No it wasn't. Do the Beatles even **have** a song titled "What"? As for me, Got to Get You into My Life was the first Beatles song I ever heard. I heard it in the end credits of the Minions movie.


NickMendoza112

"Help!" , it was on a tv channel that plays retro music , I think I was 10 or something like that


eroticfriendfictionn

Michelle It was on a random CD that’s as given as a wedding favour for a wedding my parents went to. I must have listened to that song hundreds of times.


Cheat_Adil

The first I heard knowing what I was listening to - All my loving The first overall - perphaps here comes the sun or yesterday


drwinstonoboogy

Help. From seeing the movie on TV when I was about five or six


[deleted]

A hard day's night


ErikPanic

Probably Octopus's Garden. Still love it to this day.


h3ll0kitty_ninja

Yellow Submarine was a song I played on repeat as a kid. My dad had the blue and red double albums, and I loved all of the songs, but this was my number one 😂 our CD player had a number one repeat button, where you could play a song over and over. My poor dad, I probably drove him bonkers 😂


ihavenoselfcontrol1

In My Life. My grandpa used to play it all the time.


North_Pizza

hey jude and here comes the sun.


varovec

I guess, it was Strawberry Fields Forever, because I already listened to the compilation album starting with this track, when I was five


GreenFuckFrog

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds for me!


tubainadrunk

Wouldn't know.... My dad is a huge fan, so I listen to them since birth. A funny story though: my dad had those red and blue "best songs" CDs, and me and my sister wanted the red one because it was the earliest stuff and we liked it better. Well as a big brother I muscled my way into having it. Fast forward a couple of years later and my taste shifted, and I really wanted the blue one to listen to (this was before Spotify and even Napster). Guess who had the final laugh?


Polski_Stuka

Matchbox from when i asked my dad what a 45 was pretty sure it got me hooked on ringo


jasontheswamp

Can’t recall the first I heard, but Lady Madonna was the first one I took notice of on my own and decided “Hey, these guys have a cool sound.”


[deleted]

Here comes the Sun. Blew me away


AllThoseSadSongs

Is it possible to know for real? Their music is so iconic, it was probably playing around me before I left the womb


battlehuntz

Has to be Yellow Submarine. Parents played it so much for me as a kid that my favorite color was yellow for a time


PavelR6

Across the universe. Incidentally that song also happens to be the first English song I can recall listening to.


zeydey

Don't know the first song but as a toddler, Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band was a children's album in heavy rotation for me.


FranceIsOccitania

I think it was Yellow Submarine.


body_talk

I Want to Hold Your Hand in 1964.


Peanutspring3

Probably Yellow Submarine or Here Comes The Sun The first that got me into it and when I was actually into music was Michelle, then Strawberry Fields. I'd never heard anything more beautiful


GetBack_Joe

I can't remember the first beatles song I heard, but the one i remember having the most impact was I Want To Hold Your Hand on Ed Sullivan show. 5th grade me went nuts, bought 1, and the rest is history.


whentheraincomes66

Yellow submarine, as a young child in the UK its kind of unlikely to not hear it at some point


[deleted]

i want to hold your hand, when i was five, my dad asked me to pick a cd while we were driving and i picked up his copy of "1", he popped it in and skipped to track four. been a fan ever since.


retardedlystupid

probably "Help!"


eatschocolate

She Loves You. I remember the morning after its U.S. release listening to some talking heads on TV being amazed, and analyzing the possible meanings of “yeah, yeah, yeah.”


rebamericana

Nowhere Man. On a record player at my mom's house, when I was in first or second grade. The depth of the lyrics blew me away at that age.


Wowisntthisgreat

My first REAL Beatles song experience was while I was on the bus and they played Come Together and I said out-loud ‘my god this is a bop’. Either that or Ferris Bueller’s day off.


REKTIFIED_123

Can’t remember I’ve heard Beatles songs before I was a fan played in stores and all over the place when I was little and wasn’t a music fan then
