Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band . Credited to Lennon--McCartney, the verses were written mainly by John Lennon, with Paul McCartney primarily contributing the song's middle section . Lennon's lyrics were inspired by contemporary newspaper articles, including a report on the death of Guinness heir Tara Browne . The recording includes two passages of orchestral glissandos that were partly improvised in the avant - garde style . As with the sustained piano chord that closes the song, the orchestral passages were added after the Beatles had recorded the main rhythm track . </P> <P> A reputed drug reference in the line "I'd love to turn you on" resulted in the song initially being banned from broadcast by the BBC . Since its release on Sgt . Pepper, "A Day in the Life" has been issued as a B - side and also on various compilation albums . Jeff Beck, Barry Gibb and Phish are among the artists who have covered the song . Since 2008, McCartney has included the song in his live performances . It was ranked the 28th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone . In another list, the magazine ranked it as the greatest Beatles song . </P>
