"I Am the Walrus is the best song by the Beatles, and it's even better when you find out why Lennon wrote it"
he wrote it to fuck with people who were over analyzing his music. not like it was the first or the last time he did that.

But wackiness just expresses different emotions. It doesn't mean it's not genuine.

This may all sound kind of contradictory to my love of the Abbey Road medley, which certainly is kind of silly/not serious - however in this case the concept of there being all these random little ditties strung together works very well.

FlagAsh I guess the better phrase is it's not the kind of emotion I seek out in music.
I mean in general I don't particularly like happy "good times" music either even if that can be genuine too.

I am the Walrus is a great song I just don't relate to it emotionally or find any emotion in the piece. It's an exercise in weirdness.
Like the whole concept of the song is contrived. It's not (to my knowledge) trying to express anything deeper than googoogajoob

Very funny
But it was actually written because John Lennon wanted to fuck with his fans. Basically a lot of Beatles fans would over-interpret the meaning of their songs, so he wrote I Am the Walrus to fuck with those people.

After a lot of searching the web, I came upon this page called "wikipedia" which allegedly contains facts about things. Let me quote:
"John Lennon received a letter from a pupil at Quarry Bank High School, which he had attended. The writer mentioned that the English master was making his class analyse Beatles' lyrics. (Lennon wrote an answer, dated 1 September 1967, which was auctioned by Christie's of London in 1992.) Lennon, amused that a teacher was putting so much effort into understanding the Beatles' lyrics, decided to write in his next song the most confusing lyrics that he could."

doesnt surprise me, i never felt it had any meaning and was just sort of trippy childish imaginary fantasy about more or less nothing
at most i thought it was about the feeling of being odd and different in a square world
