Short story:

John Lennon of The Beatles records his lead vocal for Good Morning Good Morning, in EMI Studio 2, Abbey Road, London, England, UK, Europe. Animal sound effects are also added to the track, and further overdubs are done on Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite.

Full article:

George Martin (producer) : We had a lot of barnyard animals on Good Morning. There was a chicken sound in one of these, and a guitar noise from another thing. By cutting the two of them together, the guitar actually turned into a chicken.

Keith West (vocals, Tomorrow) : We were there one night to do some mixing. I remember walking into the canteen and hearing For The Benefit Of Mr Kite coming out of a studio door. I wondered what the hell it was so I poked my head round and said hello to Ringo. An hour or so later, they came in as we were re-mixing My White Bicycle. John Lennon particularly liked the track and told me he thought it was a great single. He always used to request it when he was down at The Speakeasy club.
