Pure coincidence of course but worth checking out. It's an army regiment's pea soup, explaining the march rhythm similarity. Nevertheless there's a Dutch link with the Yellow Submarine: check out Ringo's spoken intro, unedited on the Real Love cd-single version, where you hear him say: "...from Stepney to Utrecht..."
