Yellow Submarine in American culture

The Beatles' invasion, and commercial exploitation for profit, of the American entertainment market came not without resistance from some government, political, and entertainment personalities. Richard Nixon, J. Edgar Hoover, and Elvis Presley felt the Beatles had been responsible for promoting illegal drug use among American children.^[1][2] This gave rise to the common phrase, "why don't you ride out on the same yellow submarine you road in on", directed at leftists attempting to revolutionize American society.
