Paint it Black, Mellow Yellow, Mr,\. Tambourine Man, Sounds of Silence, All Great songs, but deeper meaning? Not likely. Okie from Muskogee, Act Naturally, I'm tired of typing, and I can't run out of tunes from my 60s momory- One More- Red Rubber Ball. No more for now Easy now... | Reviewer: Gormania | 7/26/09 I've just read a bunch of these reviews and I can't stop myself from laughing! Stop getting so frustrated at other people's views, I'm sure every last one of you is wrong if that helps. And for the reviews that says things about SWAT teams and what-not, remember that were not all American, and neither were the Beatles. I'm going to go and enjoy this song, I hope you all decide to step away from rage and do the same. The Walrus & The Carpenter | Reviewer: DaniJoe | 7/16/09 I think this lyric is influenced by the Poem from Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, 1872 - by Lewis Carrol. This poem, as the book, is very well know in British culture. The Poem describes two individuos that trick the oysters for a walk in the beach to end up eating them. In the book Alice say about the Poem: 'I like the Walrus best,' said Alice: 'because you see he was a LITTLE sorry for the poor oysters.' 'He ate more than the Carpenter, though,' said Tweedledee. 'You see he held his handkerchief in front, so that the Carpenter couldn't count how many he took: contrariwise.' 'That was mean!' Alice said indignantly. 'Then I like the Carpenter best—if he didn't eat so many as the Walrus.' 'But he ate as many as he could get,' said Tweedledum. This was a puzzler. After a pause, Alice began, 'Well! They were BOTH very unpleasant characters— So, I think this lyric is about human kind that does wrong (eat the oyesters) and feel sorry for who they hurt (the oyesters), but they do it anyway. The whole poem: http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/walrus.html Okay? | Reviewer: Davey Toonah | 6/29/09 I think you'll find that John Lennon wrote the lyrics and the only way you'd ever find a CORRECT and most exact description/interpretation to the lyrics is to ask him. Since he's dead it doesn't matter. The Beatles are one of the greatest bands to have ever existed, that's all we need to worry about. What's wrong with people | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/21/09 Ok for all you people who think they know so much.... Your stupid for trying to interpert the song cause johns whole point was to write a song that had no meaning to it, plus there is certain parts that have something to do with him and pauls friendship. You can say it's drugs and yes the policeman part was meant to sound like a siren. Other then that this song is great and was a great idea meant to be written interpretation | Reviewer: bdyanks | 6/5/09 This song was written as a revolt against the interpretation by others on the meaning of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. John Lennon was pissed off that people thought it was about LSD instead of a picture that his son drew for him that he wrote this song. He said that if they want a drug song he would give it to them. Every line in this song is just random things that John said during an acid trip and he just put them all together to create this song. The Beatles. A Teacher. The Fuckers | Reviewer: The Extra Terrestrial | 3/23/09 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 dont know what to call this | Reviewer: Betty | 3/22/09 you do know that this song was to screw people over(the people who tried to interpret it). When Lennon was asked in an interview what the song was about he answered "nothing" and then said...."If Bob Dylan can write nonsense, so can I". I am the Walrus | Reviewer: Yippingprairie | 3/7/09 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! To hippychick... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/10/09 As far as interpretation...I sigh. I have heard (though I claim to be no expert here) that the (I am he...we are all together) came from their memories of three separate trips. From each of these, JL tried to devise a song. The imagery from most of it was supposedly memories of these trips. While they may have meant it on some level to have a deeper meaning, I have to go with the "Hm." Comment. Their songs are whatever you want them to be. And the police bit, Lennon had said that he improvised that to the beat of a police siren when a cop car passed him one day.
