Hey Jude topped the charts in Britain for two weeks and for 9 weeks in America, where it became The Beatles longest-running No.1 in the US singles chart as well as the single with the longest running time.
The Beatles did not record their promotional film until Hey Jude had been on sale in America for a week. They returned to Twickenham Film Studio, using director Michael Lindsay-Hogg who had worked with them on Paperback Writer and Rain. Earlier still, Lindsay-Hogg had directed episodes of Ready Steady Go! And a few months after the film for Hey Jude he made The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus TV special that featured John and Yoko but wouldn’t be shown until 1996
To help with the filming an audience of around 300 local people, as well as some of the fans that gathered regularly outside Abbey Road Studios were brought in for the song’s finale. Their presence had an unlikely upside for The Beatles in their long-running saga with the Musicians’ Union in that the MU were fooled into believing the band were playing live, when in fact they were miming for the vast majority of the song. Paul, however, sang live throughout the song.
The video was first broadcast on David Frost’s Frost On Sunday show, four days after it was filmed. At that point transmission was in black and white although the promo was originally shot in colour. It was first aired in America a month later on 6 October 1968, on The Smotheres Brothers Comedy Hour.

0:04 Paul: Hey can we have a- John: 2, 3, 4 Paul: ._.

Fun fact: The piano used in hey Jude is the same one Freddie Mercury used to record Bohemian Rhapsody.

This is probably the happiest Beatles song and video. I love how the song ends fading and doesn't have a "proper ending", it makes you think that they are still going and the happiness is there.

When I'm 64... Well, now I am. Been listening to The Beatles since I was a little kid, thanks to my older brother (RIP Joe). I remember crying as a 10 year old when I heard the band broke up, my mom consoling me, telling me that they would make music forever, and of course, their influence is still going strong. On occasion, I watch this video, and start tearing up about halfway through, and I'm balling when they get to the 'na, na, nas...' How did four guys have so much influence on me, the world, and how so many of us think and feel? Watching this is both incredibly wonderful and sad at the same time, reminding me of the beauty of their music, but also of the challenges we now face as a people. Ultimately, however, I'll keep smiling, as long as I have these songs to warm my heart :)

0:04 Paul: hey can we have - band starts to count Paul: panics
-
John : "How many times do you want us to say NA NA" Paul: "Yes."
-
Ringo smiling through his Na Na Nas has gotta be one of the most enjoyable things to watch. So much of being a drummer is Na Na Na-esque, where it's so much of the same stuff, it seems like Ringo really enjoyed being part of the melody with the crowd joining in.

There is nothing in the world more perfect that the first 30 seconds of this clip.

Can we appreciate Paul's lil ₕₑᵧ ⱼᵤᵤᵤ𝒹ₑ before they started

Someone: Radio won't play a seven minute long song Beatles: They will if it is us.
-
No matter how old this song gets. It will always be a masterpiece
-
This video made me realize why I have such an affinity for this era, they were all madly in love with being alive. It's pouring out of their eyes. These times I see just being mad.
-
John: so Paul how many times should we repeat Na Na Na Na Paul: Yes.

It was 51 years ago.

Perhaps the most beautiful song ever recorded
-

My grandma absolutely adored the Beatles. This song played at her memorial. It’s been almost 3 years. It still hurts. I miss you grandma. Every single day. You had rhythm in your soul and song in your heart. You were incredible.The Beatles were HOME in the midst of the absolute flood of great music which was all around us during this period. They were home....They still are
