An orchestral reprise to the song arranged by George Martin titled "Yellow Submarine in Pepperland" is featured at the end of the film and its soundtrack . </P> <P> Although intended as a nonsense song for children, "Yellow Submarine" received various social and political interpretations at the time . </P> <P> In a joint interview in March 1967, McCartney and Lennon recalled that the song's melody was created by combining two different songs they had been working on separately . Lennon noted that McCartney brought in the chorus ("the submarine...the chorus bit") which Lennon suggested combining with a melody for the verses that he'd already written . McCartney also noted: "It's a happy place, that's all . You know, it was just...We were trying to write a children's song . That was the basic idea . And there's nothing more to be read into it than there is in the lyrics of any children's song ." </P>
