The Beatles I Am The Walrus (Remastered)
"I Am the Walrus" is a 1967 song by The Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/mccartney. Lennon claimed he wrote the first two lines on separate acid trips. The song was in The Beatles' 1967 television film and album Magical Mystery Tour, and was the B-side to the #1 hit "Hello, Goodbye". Lennon composed the avant-garde song by combining three songs he had been working on. When he learned that a teacher at his old primary school was having his students analyze Beatles' lyrics, he added a verse of nonsense words. The walrus is a reference to the walrus in Lewis Carroll's "The Walrus and the Carpenter" (from the book Through the Looking-Glass). Lennon expressed dismay upon learning that the walrus was a villain in the poem.

The Beatles - I Am The Walrus (Copyright 1967 EMI Records) Ok, I seriously do not know what drugs John Lennon was on when he created the lyrics or the vocals to this song. However, I have added the lyrics in sync with the melody so you can sing along, or perhaps learn the song! This is how I learned my first Beatles song! Feel free to comment, rate, subscribe, and suggest future content. Thank You! Comments from Others: I think that this song, as written by several others before me, has to do with totally stumping this teacher that he had the interview with. It makes sense. I think it may also be, as others have also written, directed at all those who try to analyze his music in general. so yes, in a way, a "I'll show you!" song Very simple. Lennon hearing a british police siren going by his window while at the piano, came up with the basic melody for this song. He then went through some basic lines written in notes over the years and strung them together. He said to himself, "I dare the BBC to tell me what this song means!" As it was simply gibberish. The rest is History! Its funny how many people try to interpret this, because the Beatles wrote this song because they were mocking the people who tried so hard to interpret their songs. The purpose of the song is that there is no meaning, and to perplex those who insist on interpreting it. FIRST VERSE- "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." - would this not go to show that no matter what differences ...
