"Your Mother Should Know" is a song by The Beatles from their 1967 album Magical Mystery Tour, released in the US as a LP on November 27, 1967 and in the UK as a double-EP on December 8, 1967. Its writing is credited to Paul McCartney and John Lennon, although Lennon's contributions were reportedly minimal. It is sung by McCartney and was recorded and mixed between August 22 and November 7 of 1967. The song was originally composed with the use of continuous drum rolls by Ringo Starr giving the impression of a funeral march. This version was later scratched in favor of the more fluid version (minus the drum rolls) released on the Magical Mystery Tour album. The released version sounds like a song from the 1930s.
The song appeared in the last part of the movie Magical Mystery Tour in an elaborate, old-fashioned segment that has The Beatles in white tuxedoes performing a (rather poorly synchronized) dance number at a fancy dress ball coming down a grand staircase. Paul is the only one wearing a black carnation, contributing to the "Paul is Dead" theory.
