HELLHOLE SUBMARINE
(Note: Sung to the melody of Paul McCartney and John Lennon’s “Yellow Submarine”)
In the dacha where I was born lived a man who sailed the sea When I turned 14 years old they gagged and bound and shanghaied me
So we sailed into the sun Till we crashed into a reef Now we sink beneath the waves And we sing in pain and grief: We all die on a stupid submarine stupid submarine stupid submarine We all die on this stupid submarine stupid submarine stupid submarine
All our friends from other ships Won’t get close to us till it’s too late While the whales and fish and sea We completely contaminate
We all die on a stupid submarine stupid submarine stupid submarine We all die on this stupid submarine stupid submarine stupid submarine
Oxygen is running out and our food supply is far from clean As the crew begins to pray: (sounds of labored breathing)
We all die on a stupid submarine stupid submarine stupid submarine
So we blub inside the sub which I wish I had never seen We’re turning blue, we’re peeing green in this hellhole submarine (spoken) Submarine! (coughs)
We all die on this hellhole submarine hellhole submarine stupid submarine Yes, we all die on a hellhole submarine hellhole submarine hellhole submarine (spoken) Just the men! We all die on this hellhole submarine hellhole submarine…

********************************
NOTES & BACKSTORY: [June 2023] This song was created for my radio show, Dave’s Gone By, as part of the recurring News Gone By segment, which poked fun at news and current events. Here’s how I introduced the song on its Aug. 11, 2005 debut. Note that the story is true, the song stuff, not so much:
“Harrowing news from Russia this week where a mini-submarine became trapped in metal debris at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. The sub got tangled in the wires of an underwater monitoring station, leaving only a few days’ supply of oxygen available to the crew—an eerie echo of the Kursk disaster. Russian authorities kept the accident secret the first day. Then they tried to rescue the sub themselves the next day. They accepted help from England and other nations only as time began running out. Rear Admiral Vladimir Pepelyayev told Russian reporters that the crew were keeping their spirits up as best they could: playing cards, telling stories. In fact, before they were miraculously rescued, they actually were able to transmit, by Morse Code, the words and music to a song one of the sailors wrote about the situation. I happen to have it here. In tribute to that brave and saved crew of the AS-28, I’m gonna sing it now. I think it shows their resilience, their spunk, and their hilarious misery.”
Dave Lefkowitz chats with singer-songwriter and humorist Neil Innes
Topics include: Monty Python, Bonzo Dog Band, The Beatles, George Harrison, John Lennon, television, music.
Segment originally aired in three parts, Oct. 7, Oct. 14 and Oct. 21, 2004, on three different episodes of the “Dave’s Gone By” radio program hosted by Dave Lefkowitz.
Sad Note: Our friend of the Daverhood, Neil Innes, passed Dec. 29, 2019.
