According to Geoff Emerick, there was much dope-smoking during the
recording of "Yellow Submarine." To simulate the sound of a submarine submerging, Lennon blew bubbles into a glass with a straw, which were
duly recorded by Emerick. Lennon wanted to take things further; he
wanted a tank of water brought into the studio so that he could add
vocals while underwater.
George Martin attempted to dissuade John from this. Emerick intervened
with the proposal that Lennon might sing into a *microphone* that had
been submerged in water.
