Hey Bulldog

創作背景

在錄製歌曲前數天，Paul玩一首Paul Jones的搖滾鼓樂–The Dog Presides，此音樂當中是帶有狗吠的音效。可能是受到這歌的影響，在錄製時Paul毫無先兆地作狗吠聲。而原本接下來的歌詞應為Hey bullfrog(Hey！牛蛙！)，亦被改成Hey bulldog(Hey！鬥牛犬！)，後來更成為歌曲名稱。樂隊錄音的過程被拍攝來製作Lady Madonna的宣傳片，是少數被容許公開的錄音過程攝像。

樂隊的錄音師Geoff Emerick其後聲稱這歌是最後一首具有團隊互動和熱誠的歌。在他寫的書Here, There, Everywhere中也稱讚了此歌：

Paul's bass line was probably the most inventive of any he'd done since Pepper, and it was really well played. Harrison's solo was sparkling, too--one of the few times that he nailed it right away. His amp was turned up really loud, and he used one of his new fuzz boxes, which made his guitar absolutely scream.

Paul的低音演奏是繼Sgt. Pepper後最革新、出色的表現。George的演出也是其中一次非常出眾的。他響亮的吉他和全新的fuzz box(模糊音裝置)結人一種咆哮的感覺。

另外，他又認為在樂隊1968年5月再回到錄音室錄製The Beatles時，各成員已受大量問題所困擾，不如往昔，以致後來樂隊更被解散。

此歌被輯錄在電影黃色潛水艇中，但它最初只出現在少數歐洲版本中，因為製片人Al Brodax和樂隊認為電影太長，於是在美國國版本中它被剪掉。在1999年電影再度上映，它又被重新加進電影當中。

2006年The Beatles重混專輯Love中的Lady Madonna加進了歌曲的吉他Riff(但由B小調轉為A大調)和在過渡段Blue Jay Way中加進了部分John和Paul的笑聲。

Paul在1994年憶述此歌：

I remember (it) as being one of John's songs and I helped him finish it off in the studio, but it's mainly his vibe. There's a little rap at the end between John and I, we went into a crazy little thing at the end. We always tried to make every song different because we figured, 'Why write something like the last one? We've done that.' We were on a ladder so there was never any sense of stepping down a rung, or even staying on the same rung, it was better to move one rung ahead.
