What instruments are used in Yellow by Coldplay?

Answer 1

Yellow Submarine included chains, a ship's bell, tap dancing mats, whistles, hooters, a tin bath filled with water, wind and thunderstorm machines, as well as a cash register, which was later used on Pink Floyd's song "Money".

Lennon blew through a straw into a pan of water to create a bubbling effect, McCartney and Lennon talked through tin cans to create the sound of the captain's orders, at 1:37 in the song, Ringo stepped outside the doors of the recording room and yelled like a sailor acknowledging "Cut the cable! Drop the cable!", which was looped into the song afterwards, and Abbey Road employees John Skinner and Terry Condon twirled chains in a tin bath to create water sounds. After the line, "and the band begins to play", Emerick found a recording of a brass band and changed it slightly so it could not be identified, although it is thought to be a recording of Georges Krier and Charles Helmer's 1906 composition, "Le Rêve Passe"

When the overdubs were finished, Evans strapped on a marching bass drum and led everybody in a line around the studio doing the conga dance whilst banging on the drum.

• Ringo Starr - vocal, drums
• Paul McCartney - backing vocal, shouting, bass
• John Lennon - backing vocal, shouting, acoustic guitar
• George Harrison - backing vocal, tambourine
• Mal Evans - backing vocal, bass drum
• George Martin - backing vocal, producer
• Geoff Emerick - backing vocal, engineer
• Neil Aspinall - backing vocal
• Alf Bicknell - sound effects (rattling chains)
• Pattie Harrison - backing vocal
• Marianne Faithfull - backing vocal
• Brian Jones - backing vocal, sound effects (clinking glasses)
