“A Day in the Life” is a song composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, recorded and released in 1967 by The Beatles as the final track on their album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. It includes portions originally authored independently by Lennon and McCartney, and two cacophonous, part-improvised, orchestral crescendos.
The supposed drug reference in the line “I’d love to turn you on” caused the song to be banned by the BBC.
Since its original album release, the song has also been released on single, on compilation albums, and has been performed by several other artists including Jeff Beck and The Bee Gees.
