"A Day in the Life" is a song by the British rock band The Beatles, credited to John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The song appears as the final track on their album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The song includes portions originally authored independently by Lennon and McCartney, and two cacophonous, part-improvised, orchestral crescendos. Lennon was inspired by newspaper articles on the death of Tara Browne, and a civic plan to fill four thousand potholes in Blackburn. While recording the song, the Beatles were not certain how to fill the gap between Lennon's and McCartney's portions of the song. It was later decided that a partly-improvised crescendo by an orchestra would serve as the bridge.

The supposed drug reference in the line "I'd love to turn you on" resulted in the banning of the song by the BBC. It appears on many top songs lists, and is the 26th best song on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The song is considered one of the Beatles' most influential, with the final E major chord becoming popularized to the point of being clichéd in modern music. It often appears in lists and polls of the most influential Beatles songs. Since its original album release, the song has also been released on single, on compilation albums, and has been performed by other artists including Jeff Beck and The Bee Gees. Paul McCartney has played it live three times, once at the Liverpool Sound Concertand at The Independent Concert/Kyiv,Ukraine in June 2008 and once at the Quebec City's 400th anniversary in July 2008.
