3/28/1967 (51 years ago today) - While working on "Sgt. Pepper" at London's Abbey Road studios, John Lennon records his lead vocal for "Good Morning, Good Morning" -- Paul McCartney plays the lead guitar part, while John suggests that he wants the song to end with animal sound effects that could be sequenced in such a way that each successive animal was capable of scaring or eating the preceding one. Drugs may have been involved after all...
