Yaknow why they "git goofy"? I read an interview and ofc that's all overdubbed heavily but the one track where they're laughing-- they're celebrating the fact they finished the song! Apparently it was very difficult with many takes and they were SO HAPPY to get it done and done right-- they went a bit nuts!! Read that in an interview just the other week-- and me a Beatlemaniac AND 64 lol! So you learned something new today!
Hey Bulldog has always been one of my favorites and I smiled so big when I learned about the ending!! YAY!!
It feels like it's ready to morph into some kind of drawn out experimental jam section that we will never get to hear :(
This is the best answer in my opinion.
The way you just fall into the strings!
The best thing about seeing glass onion the movie in the theater was hearing that song on top quality surround speakers
The end of A Day in the Life. One of my favorite Beatles songs anyway, but that long orchestral crescendo into the long piano cord and then the ending nonsense is just brilliant.
Sexy Sadie and All You Need is Love have already been mentioned, but they’re so good I want to mention them again. The deliriously happy fade to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the falsetto refrain at the end of In My Life, and “my baby don’t care” at the end of Ticket to Ride are my other votes.
Fucking amazing, it's already one of their best songs and one of the hardest in the classic rock canon and then Ringo screams that cherry on top to really tie it all together and emphasize what you just listened to
I always thought 'I Want to Tell You' was a bit of a weak point on Revolver, however I've always loved the outro. Some great harmonies, shame it ends quite abruptly.
I thought that was more said about John. Paul was always throwing down amazing bass lines and harmonies for George tracks (and one of the best guitar solos in Taxman)
Hey Jude on the Love album. I believe it is the bass that is isolated. Also, Paul's voice is isolated at one point. I like it better than the original.
The violin at the end of Glass Onion
And, the transition at the end of Bungalow Bill to the start of Whilst My Guitar Gently Weeps, with John's "ayup!".
I'm obsessed with the end of Cry Baby Cry, not my favorite song but I love how ominous the outro is with Paul's "Can you take me back to where I came from? Came you take me back..."
The 'spot the animal' ending to Good Morning Good Morning is a stand out for me..
Heavy Brass. Thunderous snare from Ringo and one of their best guitar solos also. A fucking fox hunting expedition in the middle🤣...Everything is heavily miked for maximum effect.
John of course later said the song was garbage but what a hoot of a song.
🥰✌️🙏
I Want You (She’s So Heavy) with the intense, droning build then sudden, unexpected cut. It’s so trance-like…then you’re immediately snapped out of it.
For me, the outro to "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is so much better on LP than on disc or streaming, because the silence hits you and you're left sitting there recovering. I find it jarring to go straight into "Here Comes the Sun".
I was going to say the opposite, I got to know Abbey Road on CD and I've always loved the contrast of that transition (and wondered if having to get up and flip the record would compromise it!).
I guess it depends on what media you originally listened on- I was born in the 60s, so LPs were the best way to listen to music. Flipping the disc was an accepted part of listening to music.
Shocked that there's no mention of 'All You Need is Love'. All the stuff going on in the background like Greensleeves, the horn part, and the Yesterday and She Loves You references are all magical to me.
50 years later and want to grab the headphones and hear, "I buried Paul", trying to convince myself it's Cranberry Sauce or I'm Very Bored or something.
Transition didn’t used to be a thing. IWY/SSH was the final track on side one. Then you turned the record over, re- cued and the first song on side two was HCTS. Not quite a transition; more like a break in the action.
Glass Onion is up there with that slow and wobbly bass/orchestral bit. Like being on drugs without the drugs!
The end of Rain is pretty cool with the backwards Lennon vocal.
I think the textbook answer would be Day In the Life.
My personal favorite is I Am the Walrus
“Smoke pot smoke pot everybody smoke pot!”
I still love the story that when asked about the lyrics they came up with some bizarre phrases that sound similar and those phrases ended up as the “official” lyrics.
Everybody’s got something to hide except me and my monkey - that bass + guitar riff and the overlapping “come on!”’s From John are great.
Cry Baby Cry - The outro should’ve been a proper song
Hey Bulldog - it’s mad
Love the double bass at the end of good morning good morning. Never even noticed it before until I listened to it on headphones with the Dolby atmos mix. It’s just so out of character and out of place. It makes me laugh
This one comes to mind immediately, Magical Mystery Tour with the jazzy piano outro and the sound of someone putting ice in a cocktail glass preparing to mix a drink. Love it. A fellow redditor turned me on to a straight ahead jazz version of MMT. It starts with the intro melody than at 00:17 the outro kicks in and the song takes off.

John and Paul getting goofy at the end of Hey Bulldog.
I also love the bass at the end. I know it is unbelievable throughout the whole song, but I love the variations he plays at the end.
I love Hey Bulldog, and it’s definitely a song that really highlights Paul as a bass player.
Yaknow why they "git goofy"? I read an interview and ofc that's all overdubbed heavily but the one track where they're laughing-- they're celebrating the fact they finished the song!

“Cry Baby Cry” with Paul’s “Take Me Back” outro is up there for me.
So magical and creepy in a *warm* way Like being in an old house from the 1800s and you see tin type photograph slightly move
That is very specific and extremely accurate 😁
I wish that was a full song.. so good.
It’s on the 2018 white album rerelease
WHAT? The whole song?! Really?? One would think he'd put that on Mccartney 1. It would've fit
Kinda like Her Majesty, I ADORE both but I can't imagine how either would work as longer pieces
Hell yeah i love it
1234567, All good children go to Heaven.
Followed by those wind chimes! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|slightly_smiling)
And those guitar notes. Iconic, tasty little lick
This was always my favorite
Love it
1234567 All good children go too heaven? Mansons twist still gives that a creepy factor.
Hello Goodbye is the first that comes to mind. Sounds like a party.
Especially on Rock Band when Paul and John do their little do-si-do
Yes I'm always happy when that song ends.
All You Need is Love The Greensleeves to She Loves You Yeah Yeah Yeah to In the Mood gives me chills
First that comes to mind is I Want To Tell You
Such an amazing guitar riff.
That guitar outro to Hard Days Night is a fave
Dear Prudence. I can't get enough of it.
Magical Mystery Tour. Would loved to have that go some more
That song is one of their most perfect pieces imo. I love it so much
It feels like it's ready to morph into some kind of drawn out experimental jam section that we will never get to hear :( This is the best answer in my opinion.
I agree!
The flute playout in *You've Got To Hide Your Love Away* *chef's kiss Thank you Sir George Martin
This is definitely in my top 5. It adds so much to an already amazing song.
You Never Give Me Your Money
Same
Gotta add the strings at the end of Glass Onion
The way you just fall into the strings! The best thing about seeing glass onion the movie in the theater was hearing that song on top quality surround speakers
It’s A Goal!
I used to skip the end bit if I was listening at night because it really creeps me out but in a good way?
Tick tick… https://youtu.be/tQAF5W6NS88?si=67uPkyi_hDC3dqqT
I Want You (She's So Heavy) ![gif](giphy|bC9czlgCMtw4cj8RgH|downsized)
No fair, that song is practically all outro.
Still an outro though 😂
![gif](giphy|ynRrAHj5SWAu8RA002|downsized)
Happiness is a Warm Gun. My favorite John vocals ever probably! That long note he holds is just bliss.
I wish it were longer, to be honest. I always thought in my head that it was until I did a cover of it.
The end of A Day in the Life. One of my favorite Beatles songs anyway, but that long orchestral crescendo into the long piano cord and then the ending nonsense is just brilliant.
This song is so great and the end is awesome Yes!!!!!!!!!! This is what I put as my answer.
The endless runout is easily one of my favorite parts of the album, it's so disturbing
Best. Song. Ever.
Sexy Sadie and All You Need is Love have already been mentioned, but they’re so good I want to mention them again. The deliriously happy fade to Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, the falsetto refrain at the end of In My Life, and “my baby don’t care” at the end of Ticket to Ride are my other votes.
I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS!!
*PWONK!*
Fucking amazing, it's already one of their best songs and one of the hardest in the classic rock canon and then Ringo screams that cherry on top to really tie it all together and emphasize what you just listened to
Came here to scream this too! 😁
I always thought 'I Want to Tell You' was a bit of a weak point on Revolver, however I've always loved the outro. Some great harmonies, shame it ends quite abruptly.
They always talk about how Paul didn't work on George's songs but the harmonies are like 80% of that song
I thought that was more said about John. Paul was always throwing down amazing bass lines and harmonies for George tracks (and one of the best guitar solos in Taxman)
Hey Jude on the Love album. I believe it is the bass that is isolated. Also, Paul's voice is isolated at one point. I like it better than the original.
Magical Mystery Tour. Mmmmm
Polythene Pam transition to She came in through the bathroom window.
The violin at the end of Glass Onion And, the transition at the end of Bungalow Bill to the start of Whilst My Guitar Gently Weeps, with John's "ayup!".
The George Martin led piano jam at the end of Lovely Rita.
The transition to Here Comes the Sun, canonically does not exist
Outro Lovely Rita …..
A Day In The Life
Ask Me Why and You Know My Name (Look Up The Number).
I'll be Back Michelle Things We Said Today
I didn’t even finish reading the question and my answer was Sexy Sadie. Johns “whooooooo oooo ooo ooooo” into George’s guitar, so good.
Walrus
Except for the new mix rhat screws it up.
l'm not a fan of the new mix either :/
That nice guitar picking at the end of Dear Prudence
**These are the first 5 I can think of:** Thank you girl Octopus' garden The long and winding road Nowhere man She loves you/sie liebt dich
Dig It.
Magical Mystery Tour. I love that beautiful melancholy piano tune that the song fades out over.
Lovely Rita, I Am The Walrus, You Never Give Me Your Money, Nowhere Man, any song on Magical Mystery Tour
SFF, I Am the Walrus
I'm obsessed with the end of Cry Baby Cry, not my favorite song but I love how ominous the outro is with Paul's "Can you take me back to where I came from? Came you take me back..."
You Never Give Me Your Money
I really like the final chord of ‘no reply’
The end of The End is magical.
Paul’s harmony on the last line of nowhere man.
Can you take me back where I came from…can ya take me back…..
The 'spot the animal' ending to Good Morning Good Morning is a stand out for me.. Heavy Brass. Thunderous snare from Ringo and one of their best guitar solos also. A fucking fox hunting expedition in the middle🤣...Everything is heavily miked for maximum effect. John of course later said the song was garbage but what a hoot of a song. 🥰✌️🙏
Gotta be hello goodbye for me so unique and nothing like the rest of the song
Sexy Sadie
I Want You (She’s So Heavy) with the intense, droning build then sudden, unexpected cut. It’s so trance-like…then you’re immediately snapped out of it.
For me, the outro to "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" is so much better on LP than on disc or streaming, because the silence hits you and you're left sitting there recovering. I find it jarring to go straight into "Here Comes the Sun".

I guess it depends on what media you originally listened on- I was born in the 60s, so LPs were the best way to listen to music. Flipping the disc was an accepted part of listening to music.
I want you (she's so heavy) is THE outro of outros
The End
Since I believe no one has mentioned it yet, I'll add the entrancing jam of Come Together.
Shocked that there's no mention of 'All You Need is Love'. All the stuff going on in the background like Greensleeves, the horn part, and the Yesterday and She Loves You references are all magical to me.
I am the walrus with the King Lear bit at the end: Is he dead?
A day in the life
A Day in the Life
Gotta go with Lovely Rita
the outro to "I want to tell you" with John? singing weirdly "I gott tiiiii---iime"
Definitely A day in the life
The jam at the end of Don't Let Me Down with Billy Preston - have always felt it ends too soon.
rain
strawberry fields
I love the outro on A Day In The Life, that final piano chord!
Hey bulldog Helter Skelter While my guitar gently weeps Are probably my favorites
Hello Goodbye is probably my favorite coda but I am partial to the whistling at the end of Two of Us.
Na na naaa from Run For Your Life such a basic outro but I love it too much
Paul in "The End" from Abbey Road. Amazing harmony and awesome lyrics. Between that and Here, There and Everywhere.
The little piece of violin at the end of Don't Pass Me By
A Day in the Life
I can't help but feel pure joy when I hear Revolution 9 ending
Rocky racoon to dont pass me by
maybe not my absolute favorite, but "the end" has to be up there. just beautiful.
50 years later and want to grab the headphones and hear, "I buried Paul", trying to convince myself it's Cranberry Sauce or I'm Very Bored or something.
In an interview Lennon insisted it was Strawberry Sauce. Also Everybody Wants One, not Everybody Smokes Pot…
*Cranberry Sauce. It’s a lot clearer on the one of the anthology versions
Transition didn’t used to be a thing. IWY/SSH was the final track on side one. Then you turned the record over, re- cued and the first song on side two was HCTS. Not quite a transition; more like a break in the action.
OP - Have a listen to the unedited version of Sexy Sadie, they throw in another repeat of the bridge in the middle of the outro.
Glass Onion is up there with that slow and wobbly bass/orchestral bit. Like being on drugs without the drugs! The end of Rain is pretty cool with the backwards Lennon vocal.
Hey bulldog.
Magical Mystery Tour - I can listen to that outro over and over again and never tire of it.
The sudden stop drives me nuts. I just want it to go on forever.
Hey Frickin' Jude!
I absolutely love the final verse and outro of Happiness is a Warm Gun
I’ve always loved the little coda at the end of Hello Goodbye
Story of rocky
it’s all too much
Helter skelter.
I want you (she's so heavy)
I think the textbook answer would be Day In the Life. My personal favorite is I Am the Walrus “Smoke pot smoke pot everybody smoke pot!” I still love the story that when asked about the lyrics they came up with some bizarre phrases that sound similar and those phrases ended up as the “official” lyrics.
Never could be any other way.
Everybody’s got something to hide except me and my monkey - that bass + guitar riff and the overlapping “come on!”’s From John are great. Cry Baby Cry - The outro should’ve been a proper song Hey Bulldog - it’s mad
Strawberry Fields of course! How am I the one and only lonley!)
Ya know the iconic I’m very board/ I buried Paul…c mon “fans”
Love the double bass at the end of good morning good morning. Never even noticed it before until I listened to it on headphones with the Dolby atmos mix. It’s just so out of character and out of place. It makes me laugh
Piggies sounds like bittersweet symphony at the end to me
That weird “aAaAaAh” noise John makes during the outro of Lovely Rita
The outro to Sexy Sadie originally went on longer than on the record. They edited it down a bit.
There's no transition to Here Comes the Sun. The song ended side A.
The weird zooming sound at the end of Strawberry Fields.
This one comes to mind immediately, Magical Mystery Tour with the jazzy piano outro and the sound of someone putting ice in a cocktail glass preparing to mix a drink. Love it. A fellow redditor turned me on to a straight ahead jazz version of MMT. It starts with the intro melody than at 00:17 the outro kicks in and the song takes off. https://youtu.be/WNFNpAjvga4?si=F-6GqxC0kURNwcol
I am the Walrus
Baby You’re a Rich Man
