But I LOVE THIS SONG it is the bestest. The beatles | Reviewer: Amanda | 2/15/08 I love this song, i have so much respect for the beatles! even though i wasn't alive during the 1960's or anything i love the music! these days all the songs are just hip hop and rap, and honestly i wish i grew up in that time period because i connect so much more with the music than this generation. i love the beatles and it's a crazy obsession, this song is amazing and all of their songs are! Walrus | Reviewer: TeRAWR | 2/13/08 This song gets me so bad! I don't know what it is but it drives me crazy, and i love it so much. I don't get it. Maybe cause I wasnt around in the 60's and all. But I really want to understand it...if anyone actually can. I really don't like other peoples versions of The Beatles songs, my dad sent me Joe Crockers version of With A Little Help From My Friends...it drove me nuts. ????????????????? | Reviewer: cheese of wonder | 2/12/08 this is probly the 2nd strangest beatles song eva (1st octopus's garden 3rd being 4 the benefit of mr kite).wen my dad told me the name i just had to listen over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!!!!!!! The Walrus | Reviewer: Scott | 2/4/08 Being a songwriter myslef, you know that every song is linked to some sort of idea or story of one's past or present, no matter how unusual or bizarre it may seem. As stated below, Lennon meant to actually say that he was "The Carpenter,"so there could have been a fight between him and Paul and thats why in "Glass Onion" he calls paul "The Walrus." info. I found: --The idea for the Walrus came from the poem The Walrus and The Carpenter from Alice in Wonderland. In his 1980 Playboy interview, Lennon said: "It never dawned on me that Lewis Carroll was commenting on the capitalist and social system. I never went into that bit about what he really meant, like people are doing with the Beatles' work. Later, I went back and looked at it and realized that the walrus was the bad guy in the story and the carpenter was the good guy. I thought, Oh, s--t, I picked the wrong guy. I should have said, 'I am the carpenter.' But that wouldn't have been the same, would it?" occultic | Reviewer: a voice | 2/3/08 This song is nothing but a reference to Aleister Crowleys contact with the demonic in 1918. Through meditations Crowley was able to summon a vision of a demon that took on the appearance of a small humanoid with a large egg shaped head, the "Eggman". Crowley drew a portrait of this Eggman that he encouraged others to gaze upon in their meditations. By gazing at this portrait the person could become the Eggman thereby seeing the world from a demonically enlightened perspective (I am the Eggman) is obviously a reference to Lennon willingly becoming possessed by the demonic and now seeing the world in a very different way. Pity. Only the ignorant will celebrate this song as something worthy and valuable. meh | Reviewer: Kaylee | 2/6/08 I like the lyrics they write but really I can only stand a Beatles song when its sung by someone other than the Beatles. Loved Across the Universe for this reason. Sure they 'revolutionized' music, but I don't find them that incredible. Anyone can write a song so amazing when they're on high. They don't compile them well, thats why I like remixes. Beatles | Reviewer: Lydia kate | 1/16/08 I dont know anyone who hates the Beatles, but if you do then I hope this song changed your mind! If someone could be high and still right this song that is so widly known then they must be a genius!! This song is amazing and i think bono did a great job! John was the walrus | Reviewer: Daniel | 1/15/08 In the song called "God" singed by John Lennon, he discover the riddle of who was the walrus; he says "I was the walrus...but now I'm John" I hope that you like the information :) Thank you, Conz | Reviewer: Sophia | 1/5/08 Conz said it all! If you listen to the White Album (Disc One, track three, "Glass Onion"), you will find the following to be stated by John: "I told you 'bout the Walrus and me, man. You know that we're as close as can be, man. Well here's another clue for you all. The Walrus was Paul." Though John did intend to confuse people with this song, he almost explained it afterwards. P.S. I've grown up listening to the Beatles, and I know quite a bit about them. I'm twelve, and they're my favorite band. For people who haven't listened to them since you were one and have a tendency to critisize them nevertheless: I think that one should know a good deal about a topic before they give their opinion.
