There are songs on the same album that are infinitely superior. So why “Yellow Submarine ?”
If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

I, myself, HATE IT. I've heard it too many times.

But why would you consider Yellow Submarine as the Beatles iconic song?
I understand that most kids know it, but to be honest, when I ask people if they know a Beatle song, they mention the lyrics of Strawberry Fields or Let it Be. They know Yellow Submarine , but it's not their only answer.

Agreed. Except possibly among the under-eight years-old crowd, here is no way “Yellow Submarine ” is the iconic Beatles song – I doubt if it's even in the top 30.
GEORGE: In fact, The Detroit Sound. JOHN: In fact, yes. GEORGE: In fact, yeah. Tamla-Motown artists are our favorites. The Miracles. JOHN: We like Marvin Gaye. GEORGE: The Impressions PAUL & GEORGE: Mary Wells. GEORGE: The Exciters. RINGO: Chuck Jackson. JOHN: To name but eighty.

Offline OK, MM.M, I just read your remarks on that other “Yellow Submarine ” and I can now see where you're coming from, sorta. In my view, “iconic” and “most easily recognized” don't really mean the same thing, but that's more a matter of personal interpretation. And yeah, “YS” is indeed pretty much the most recognizable track on several levels.
To me, “She Loves You ” is probably the most iconic Beatles song.

Offline The only time I have heard Iconic, Yellow Submarine , and Beatles used in one sentence was something like “Yellow Submarine is the Iconically bad Beatles song.”
I myself think the song is damn catchy and fun!

Offline my 2 cents
YS was a #2 hit in America and #1 in Britain so it will get more appearances on compilation albums
SFF or LIB are more worthy Iconic Beatles Tunes

Oh, I don't consider it iconic. What I meant is I have sixteen-year-old “friends” who can only name one Beatles song. That's what I meant.
I'd probably go with “She Loves You .”
I've also heard people, when asked about the Beatles, start to sing “Yesterday .”
And when I put quote marks around “friends,” it's because they're snotty to me. Not just because they hate the Beatles for the “very good reason” that they were “high all the time.”

Offline I'd probably go with All You Need Is Love for the Most Iconic. Someone should do a type of awards thing where we poll for catagories like “Most Iconic” “Best Song” Most Popular, etc. It could be fun. But definately All You Need Is Love . Hey Jude is a close 2nd though.

My niece went to a wedding and when the bride entered, they played All You Need Is Love . I think it's quite fitting.

Offline Hehe. I think I've posted them before, they just got lost in the shuffle. With the wedding, what part of the song was used? I am thinking of the intro. Love, love, love.

It was the first part (edit) when the bride was walking down the aisle, but it was a chorus and a singer only. That means, a chorus started with the “Love, love, love” and a boy sang the song. They did the whole song with no instrumental break. It was very much like in the famous Love Actually scene (but without the funny part at the end).
My niece says it was truly moving and beautiful.
