"The walrus was Paul" is a reference to the cover of Magical Mystery Tour. Rumors were swirling in the non internet days that Paul was dead. Also checkout the "I buried Paul" stuff. Things got pretty stupid. I think there was talk of a walrus being a sign of death. Plus Paul is walking barefooted on Abbey Road. Another supposed sign. Geesh.

Paul is dead wasn’t hatched until later but ‘clues’ go back to Sgt Pepper. Paul’s wearing the “Officially Pronounced Dead” arm patch which he said really meant Ontario Provincial Police” Not OPD. Hard to see if that a P or a D though. Hand over his head in the cover. The flower bass with only 3 strings. The words “He Die” on the badness drum. His back to the camera on the back cover photo. Tons of clues for anyone who cared to indulge. Cigarette in the right hand on Abbey Road. He was a lefty. I smoked a long time ago and always carried the cigarette in my left hand and I’m a righty. George dressed like a grave digger etc. “Paul is dead miss him” on Revolution #9. This is just my recollection as an 8-9 yr old in the 60’s, hearing about and looking for clues. Tons more supposed clues out there though. I find the page in the Magical Mystery Tour booklet much more eerie. John holding the kid with the ballon and his killers initials on the sign behind him. “The Best Way to Go is by M&D C ( can’t see the full word or name ) ..

Lennon used to think it was funny how people had all kinds of theories about the meanings to Dylan's lyrics, so he wrote some things like "I Am The Walrus" just to stump people. He said in an interview that the "Glass Onion" line "the walrus was Paul" was just a joke to confuse people.

It’s been pointed out before; but ‘I am the Walrus’ was written with busybody lyric interpreters in mind. College professors trying to claim this or that song was written in iambic pantameter, as a hat tip to Shakespeare. Or this lyric is referencing a war or hardship, or a painful historical reference etc. when they were just writing music. Not to say their music doesn’t go in these directions at times. But they were tired of words being put in or taken out of their mouth. So go ahead and tell everybody what ‘sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come’ means.

In Steven Tyler's autobiography he talks about him and a buddy running into John. John told them they got one question. They asked what he meant by the opening lyric to Happiness is a Warm Gun. He said it just sounded good coming out of his mouth. After reading that I stopped worrying so much about song meaning and just learned to groove.

So here's a clue for you all: John idealized this album as being an "anti pepper" which means turning away from the summer of love type of psychedelic music the band helped to shape and that's the meaning behind Glass Onion - he's referring to songs from this phase, distancing himself from that era. "The Walrus was Paul" as he said in a interview is a nod to Paul, the John way to say "thank you" for leading the band after the passing of their manager Brian Epstein (the magical mistery tour period) now after meditating in India the band could function normally... but they were not the same anymore. They grew up to be four individual talented musicians and this album is the result of that.

Ringo is back in the band and sounds like he put all his anger out on the drum kit he had during his quitting time :D It is one of the best produced tracks on the album imo. Lennon's sarcastic lyrics towards people overinterpreting their songs always stands in the foreground here but I think the music is cogenial. The Walrus was Paul in the relative costume in the MMT movie. Fun Fact: Lennon proposed the song name as the band name of some friends. But they were choosing another one later: Badfiinger.

"Here's another clue for you all, the walrus was Paul" was a jab at people who thought Paul was dead. It was a rumor circulating at the time and some people still believe it. In the Magical Mystery Tour movie, there's a scene where they play I Am The Walrus and they're all wearing different costumes which cover their faces; but it's obvious from the instruments they're playing that John was actually the walrus. John was also on vocals and he said: "I am the walrus." Doesn't get any clearer than that.

You have to remember, this was a four track recording. they had to plan out things for the mix. The 8 track machine would be available in a month or so - even though the 16-track studios already existed in the US when this album was recorded. Also this track messed up so many fans, a year later the "Paul is Dead" rumors started. The fans question? Why did John said "and here's another clue for you all, the walrus was Paul"?

John Lennon “I was just having a laugh, because there had been so much gobbledygook about ‘Pepper’-playing it backwards, looking for hidden meanings, and so on. So I wrote ‘Glass Onion’ to confuse people even more. The references to ‘the walrus was Paul’ and other songs were just me having fun.” Interesting take by John.

That line was from the "Paul is dead" rumours and gossip around that time, many clues the Beatles slyly left to say Paul was dead, just as a goof but people started to really believe it. The walrus in some cultures and literature is a symbol of death. And Lennon quotes many of Paul's song titles in this song, as if to say Paul's songwriting is dead. Was an interesting time.

Great reaction guys. The Beatles and Beatlemania was quite a thing. I believe that the "The Walrus is Paul" line is included in this mind-blowing (for Beatles fans) conspiracy called PAUL IS DEAD ... Google it, but that's where little arbitrary clues (i.e. - Paul's bare feet on the cover of Abbey Road, the lyric "I buried Paul" as the song Strawberry Fields" fades out ... there are more) had the world wondering if Paul was dead and it was being covered up ... I really enjoy watching you guys discover this awesome music that I love. Thanks and Happy New Year! 🙂

I’ve always thought this song was a real harbinger of the beginning of the end. They recorded 3 more albums after this one. Yellow Submarine which was the soundtrack of the film, Let it be which was their last release but was recorded before Abby Road and shelved for a bit and Abby road, the last time they all worked together in a recording studio, or anywhere. You hear a lot of discussion about this and that or who was responsible for what unpleasantness. John was always saying contradictory things depending on his mood😂 But what strikes me as I get older is that none of these guys were 30 yet when the band broke up at the end of 1969. They were still so young and at the beginning of their lives. I think people tended to cover it all with their own angst and issues, but that is the nature of art. Once it’s out there everyone owns it.

I can remember in the 70's getting a piano music catalog of Beatles songs, with lyrics, and explanations. People sometimes forgetits the British slang, etc, of them as well as the Stones and others.

Paul played drums on this track. "The walrus was Paul" was just John messing with us. "Here's another clue for you all.." A British student wrote John that he was in a music class that analyzed Beatles lyrics. John got annoyed and wrote a nonsense song "The Walrus" and that line was a sarcastic jab(Lennon was renowned for his sarcastic wit).

It’s Ringo on drums. As clear as day. Paul is the Walrus. Simple.

Not as simple for someone who heard it for the first time 60 years later and coming off of 2 songs where Ringo did not play

@@AirplayBeats Only 3 songs where Paul clearly stepped in while Ringo was gone: Back In the USSR, Dear Prudence, Martha My Dear. Also, there is some dispute regarding Ringo's own composition Don't Pass Me By (aka: Richard Starkey) where he plays piano and sings, while Paul played drums or maybe not. It depends on which source you rely on... either Lewisohn's Complete Beatles Recordings or Giles Martin's notes from the most recent remix of the white album.

Yeah. All the ‘Paul is Dead’ hidden clues in their songs and album art. People literally thought Paul had died so I believe Lennon was just fucking with people adding more ‘clues’. He references Lady Madonna, another great Beatles song you should check out. Funny enough he references his own tunes, Strawberry Fields then Walrus, attributes Walrus as Paul then the rest of the songs, Madonna, Fool on the Hill, Fixing a Hole are all Paul songs. I think Lennon was just having fun.

FYI...Across the Universe, the 2007 American jukebox musical romantic drama film centered on songs by the Beatles, is currently on PLUTO for free. I love this film and it is rated 7.3/10 on IMBd. Worth watching just for the Let It Be scene.

Re: The Walrus was Paul. After Stg. Pepper rumours started flying around that Paul had died. At the end of Strawberry Fields you can barley hear "I bury you Paul". It may not be what was actually said but that is what was used to further the rumours. The Walrus is a symbol of death in some cultures, so people jumped on the line The Walrus was Paul, thinking John was giving out clues. Then on the cover of the Abbey Road album the iconic photo shows Paul walking out of step and barefoot. The thought was people in England are buried barefooted, and so was giving another clue about his death.

He said, "Raspberry Sauce," not, "I buried Paul."
