During an interview in 2004 with the Daily Mirror Paul McCartney stated this is one of the few Beatles songs that actually referred to illicit drugs, the drug being acid (LSD).
Covered by such artists as Jimi Hendrix (in concert) and James Taylor, Day Tripper is instantly identifiable by the cool main riff that is played throughout the song.
Not terribly hard to play even by the beginner, this song (or at least the main riff) is a must know.
