I am the Walrus (with lyrics)

[@phantomphan5657]

You don't need to be high to make a song like this. You just need to be imaginative.

[@Mr-wd2wn]

Being high helps tho lol

[@LosHuxleys]

John Lennon was definitely high when he made this

[@swampsprite9]

It was probably a test to see if fans had good judgment in music or they just go along with whatever The Beatles do.

[@ray_chillll]

i remember being a little girl & my dad always playing the beetles, i grew up loving them and 16 years later not a thing has changed

[@marcye3649]

My dad got me into the Beatles. One of the many gifts he gave me in life. ❤

[@RaisonDetre96]

It never ceases to amaze me how the English language has been embellished over time into so many different styles and dialects that are each so unique. For whatever reason, this song reminds me this.

[@HeatherGreenleaf]

and more than 15 years ago, I started learning English with - among other songs from the Beatles - this one... Then my teacher wondered how i knew words like "walrus" and "custard" xD hahaha. Still love it today !

[@richman48281]

To anyone wondering. This song was wrote by john because he was tired of people trying to figure out the meaning of his songs, so he just made a song with absolutely no meaning! Lol it's pretty awesome

[@quipalco]

more like he was trippin balls on acid... :)

[@kylebronco2196]

I remember seeing that some was written by John while he was on acid.

[@pthats]

This was definitely written by John, but except for that you're on point!

[@Kyram9155]

I believe that after he wrote it, he said something along the lines of "Let them figure this one out."

[@BillWillyBillyBill]

I was written by John, but on the album, The Beatles (AKA, The White Album), within the song "Glass Onion", John indicates, "Here's another clue for you all. The walrus was Paul."

[@cooldude2251]

Beatles were trolling before it was even cool.

[@audrey6264]

I am a 12 year old and i knew they wrote this song just to confuse people (^-^)

My Beatles' second song when I was seven. First had been "A day in the life". In less than ten minutes they blew my mind off and melted my heart forever. They've been close to my soul ever since. Even when they'll never know, nobody's ever made me happier. Love to you, boyz.❤

[@abbabeththehamster4320]

If you listen closely at the instrumental bit near the end, you can hear what sounds like an edited "Oompa Loompa, doompity-doompa" repeated again and again. Which is odd, considering that this song came before that movie even started filming.

They were clearly high when writing this. Still has better more complex lyrics than what most songwriters could put together sober

[@TheMacGregz]

***** a song doesn't need a deep meaning to have complex lyrics. Complex lyricism can come from just well put together phrases

H. Sch. Hahaha good one. Except I think this song came out well before that game.

[@hasch5756]

Paul King Well, depends on. Do you use the real life timeline or the Mobian timeline? The game came out 23rd of June 1991, well after the song. If you consider the Mobian timeline, the earth, now called Mobius, and all other pre-existing continuities were eliminated by the Super Genesis Wave. Therefore, the game is set right after the new-beginning of time itself, meaning that it would be impossible to compose a song before it.

[@thecaptain293]

Lennon explained the origin of this song in his 1980 Playboy interview: "The first line was written on one acid trip one weekend. The second line was written on the next acid trip the next weekend, and it was filled in after I met Yoko. Lennon got the idea for the oblique lyrics when he received a letter from a student who explained that his English teacher was having the class analyze Beatles songs. Lennon answered the letter; his reply was sold as memorabilia at a 1992 auction. So, both right

[@jediewok16]

The song was written after the Beatles were going through fan mail, and they picked one out at random, which turned out to be from a school John had attended when he was young. And, the letter said that they were analyzing the lyrics of his songs in class. So, John wrote the nonsensical I Am The Walrus, largely based on The Walrus & The Carpenter by Lewis Carroll. " This seems the best explanation to me yet.
