A complicated answer. The Single was never releaseed in the UK or US, but internationally, like in Austria, Switzerland, Australia and Japan, where it did go to #1 in 11/22/1968. The Marmalade cover version came out after but was released in the UK and Norway (where The Beatles never released a single of that) and reached #1.
So, the answer to your question is The Beatles were the original number one globally, unless you just count the UK or Norway, in which case, Marmalade was the first #1 by default.
its a Beatles song called Obladi Oblada
Just an invention by the Beatles for one of their songs. The tag line "ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra" was an expression that Nigerian conga player Jimmy Scott-Emuakpor, an acquaintance of McCartney, used. The phrase "obladi, oblada" means: Life goes on.
Sort of yes, Oblidi oblada.
