There are more to words, and symbolism than definitions. Music is the universal language, some speak it, some refuse to, listen, THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME.. But we changed all the names, to protect the in no sense.... WALRUS | Reviewer: RoyB | 8/25/09 I am from the 60's generation and I remember John said not long after it was released that it was a nonsense song - just random thoughts. However, random thoughts can still have a meaning, like interpreting our dreams. David Bowie used a similar method, except he used to write short lyric pieces down on pieces of paper, then randomly pick them up and add them to music. This could also be called nonsense, or is it really ???? Either way, I love the song, and I think we each put our own interpretation to it, thus making it even more great! Origin | Reviewer: Trevor Smith | 8/15/09 I read in a trivia book (Uncle John's Bathroom Reader series, if you care to know) that this song was a combination of three incomplete beatles lyrics. Lennon put I am the Walrus together because he found out his old third grade teacher was having his students interpret Beatles tunes, so he decided to mess with his old teacher's head. This song isn't about anything but senselessness. There is no hidden meaning, no symbolism to speak of. Lennon was trying to be incoherent. Oh. MY. GOODNESS! | Reviewer: Rubber Soul | 8/15/09 What the heck do you guys think you are doing? Butchering a song like that? Trying to find out what it really means? Well just let it be and listen to the song and enjoy it! If you think its nonsense then by all means. And if you think he was dropping acid when he wrote it, who cares? Its an amazing song that i love. Interpretation? | Reviewer: Vince | 8/13/09 No idea what it is about, most likely it is not about anything. But I'm pretty sure DannyJoe is right about the fact it was inspired by Alice, John was a big fan of the nonsense in that book (or in general in English literature). Just another senseless fun song! | Reviewer: Carl Naquin | 8/8/09 How many senseless songs can we recall other than the walrus? 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 Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7    8    9    10   Next 10 Pages
