Ob La Di, Ob La Da - The Beatles - instrumental cover by Dave Monk

Details

Description

"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" is a song by the Beatles from their 1968 album The Beatles, often called "the White Album". It was credited to Lennon–McCartney but was written solely by Paul McCartney. It was released as a single that same year in many countries, but not in their native United Kingdom nor in the United States until 1976.
Paul McCartney wrote the song around the time that highlife and reggae were beginning to become popular in Britain. The starting lyric "Desmond has a barrow in the market-place" was a reference to the first internationally renowned Jamaican ska and reggae performer Desmond Dekker who had just had a successful tour of the UK. The tag line "ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, brah" was an expression used by Nigerian conga player Jimmy Scott-Emuakpor, an acquaintance of McCartney. Another example of the term in popular culture is the 1945 song "In the Land of Oo-Bla-Dee", which Mary Lou Williams composed for Dizzy Gillespie (heard on Dizzy Digs Paris).
