“Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” was inspired by a saying Paul once heard from “Jimmy Scott”, a Nigerian conga player who he met in London, Jimmy had several phrases that he used in conversation, but one that stood out to Paul was “Ob la di, ob la da, life goes on brah”, which later became the basis for the chorus of the song. Drawing inspiration from the Jamaican Ska scene that was exploding in the UK at the time, Paul began writing the song during a trip to India in which the band intended to partake in a meditation course. The track generally received a lot of mixed reactions, with the recording sessions for the song becoming increasing heated, and the song receiving multiple nominations in “worst song ever lists”, despite this, many fans consider it to be a highlight of the band’s career due to it’s upbeat, colorful “fun” lyrics and ska-inspired instrumental
