Brilliant reaction, Miss Jayy! You're right on...you've just got to go with it! You had me laughing with "the deep meaning..." You always pick up on things. You're a smart young woman! Back in the day, I remember when this was first released (showing my age!), we all pretty much had the same reaction with the lyrics....but LOVED the song nonetheless!😂 The Beatles certainly pushed the envelope at every turn! Thank you!
😊 thank you❤
John grew tired of everyone analyzing his lyrics, so he wrote this.
He didn't stop, either. Glass Onion. Revolution #9. And before all that, The Rain started it all, followed by Tomorrow Never Knows. Yikes.
This! he knew fans were looking for clues in the lyrics, so he deliberately put in fake clues for fun.
Deliberate Lyrical Nonsense by John Lennon! He Got Sick of The Media, & Every one reading GOOFY 💩 into there Music! The Last Straw was When they Claimed that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Was Glorifying LSD Use!
John Lennon was the original troll.
That's the stupidest thing I ever head in my life. This era is when people STARTED analyzing his lyrics and reading into them. "Glass Onion" you could say that about, not this one.
John being John. Quintessential John.
🤘🤘🤘❤️ john is missed
John caught wind of a certain teacher that was making students listen to Beatles music and trying to interpret their songs supposed deep meanings. So John wrote this saying "let them try and figure this one out." Classic John Lennon.
ABSOLUTELY TRUE!!!
That's completely, idiotically wrong, I don't know where you heard that, but it's complete bullshit. He wrote the first few lines on acid trips and was well into his psychedelic phase, basically going down the path Dylan was doing at the same time, word play, not saying something but giving the IMPRESSION of giving something. What you you're babbling about is GLASS ONION, if anything.
Sometimes true. Not always.
I am an old, old woman from England and I love you. Please keep doing what you're doing. :)
"I Am the Walrus" was written by John Lennon & is from their 1967 TV musical film "Magical Mystery Tour". It is one of their more quirky songs. John wrote the song to confuse listeners who who were constantly trying to make serious scholarly interpretations of the Beatles' lyrics.
Have you heard Tomorrow Never Knows, or even wilder, Revolution #9 BACKWARDS? Yeah, don't listen to it before bed when you're 16 years old. "Turn me on, Dead Man." It gets even scarier. I had nightmares for a week in the late 90s. Glass Onion is a song from the White album that mocks people who thought he was intentionally hiding messages in songs, but I think once that got started, he just threw stuff in when he was high to mess with people.
@@christhornycroft3686 We did that when I was in college. Disengaged the rubber band from the platter and pushed the record around backwards with a pencil eraser. Freaky as all hell.
@@christhornycroft3686 I got into The Beatles around 2017, and more seriously in 2020, but I remember as a kid in like 2008 seeing videos about Revolution 9 backwards and it freaked me out, long before I ever knew The Beatles.
Imagine this song in 1967 and you just got a new stereo. This song came out when I was 8 months old. The effects and genius of it, is next level.
Especially because up until when this came out, the Beatles hadn't strayed far from their formulaic pop rock origins. So when this came out, there had never been anything that sounded like this before, from any rock group, so it hit us like a ton of bricks out of nowhere. I had never paid much attention to the Beatles music until then, it was just too pop for me, I liked the harder guitar rock or music with an edge.
This song in particular made me notice the Beatles. It's just so well constructed, and truly original, unlike anything before it... and it sounds amazing, especially in the context of the time. The stereo sound effects sound primitive now but they still hold up. And the intentionally cryptic lyrics are excellent, they fit the song perfectly.
I was a kid when this song and Strawberry Fields Forever showed up as B sides on 45's. Not sure which one creeped me out the most; probably the end of Strawberry Fields. Both are great psychedelic classics, not at all common songs for the time, though 1967 did start a big psychedelic boom.
This band this song change the world
This song is like a musical collage. A tapestry of woven sounds. An experience outside your normal reality.
One of John Lennon’s greatest vocal performances. It’s always best heard while under the influence of LSD.
I could not agree more on the vocals. Just outstanding.
Agree Bill although the mushrooms are more natural 😉 on a side note Bill I grew up in the south end of Liverpool and we got our mushrooms close to the Strawberry field orphanage from Lennons famous song.
"Analyze that, you wankers." said John.
Listening to "I Am The Walrus" with headphones and your eyes closed is not a musical experience. It's a trip through outer space.
Love your commend " Just go with it " You hit it right. It's one of those Beatles song that you have to hear several times to get the full impact . This Beatle song has been covered over 70 times . Every one of the Beatles songs have been covered.They are by far, the most covered artist ever , So you're right to say ,there is no bad Beatles song .
First here
Love Beatles ❤
Kisses from Brazil 🇧🇷
You totally get it!!!!John Lennon loved playing with words and making people sit up and take notice. I love it and I love the fact that you receive it exactly as he intended. Add his gorgeous voice to the strange lyrics and we have another winner! You are way ahead of so many other people who are trying to do what you do with so much insight. You’re the best. 🌺✌️
With American DJs and college kids looking to find hidden meanings in John's lyrics, he first went back through his songs to see if he could find any. After hearing many of the zany interpretations that were being spread around, Lennon wrote "I Am The Walrus" and said - "Let the f*ckers figure this one out."
If you react to The Beatles Medley, you need to listen to it all without pausing or one pause in middle , because it's all unfinished songs put together on one side of Abbey Rd that blend into each other. You'll love it , I think lol
This one is a personal favorite. Surrealism all over it. It's astounding this is the same band who barely three years previously were singing Please Please Me.
John loved Alice in Wonderland and by 1967 was playing around with words in his lyrics, inspired by Lewis Carroll. He also had at least one book of his utterly unique style published. "In His Own Write." It's a hilarious, bizarre work of art.
"boy ya been a naughty girl ya let ya knickers down" "this has gotta be John Lennnon" LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
and some Shakespeare at the end
Yes! I was going to say that but now I won't. King Lear I believe. 'Oh untimely death' at the end is spookily prescient for John.
One of my most favorite song of theirs!
Imho, arguably, (along with Tomorrow Never Knows) their greatest “artistic” achievement in sound, music and recording genius
The beginning of back tracking. Jim
Since his early teens, John always loved to play around with words and their meanings, making up surreal cartoons and stories in magazines he distributed to schoolmates. If you read his two published books "John Lennon: In His Own Write" and "A Spaniard In The Works" you'll get the picture. He often used familiar everyday phrases and words like mosaic pieces to be taken apart and put together again in other more interesting, strange, funny or disturbing ways. He read and was inspired by classic children's literature like the original 'Alice' books by Lewis Carroll - the Walrus figures in a long and strange poem in one of them, called the Walrus and the Carpenter, about befriending little oysters on the beach and then eating them... Other phrases come from children's songs and games he'd have heard growing up in Liverpool, like "oompah, oompah, stick it up yer jumper!", and so on...
From "She Loves You" to this in just under 4 years, talk about progression, not to mention music like that didn't even exist untill it was created out of nowhere, or maybe a lot of drugs lol
Ostensibly… John-who was never a fan of “intellectuals” attempting to try and analyze Beatle lyrics for some higher meaning-was rumored to say, “let them analyze THIS.” So that’s John in a nutshell. Vaguely a snot.
One of my favorite Beatles songs.
Fun fact! The Beatles actually recording snippets of live broadcasts on the radio at the time they were recording the song and spliced it in and throughout the song! So that’s what all those ambient and random dialogue is lol. Sooo cool!!
If you think this is wild, listen to Tomorrow Never Knows from their Revolver album. That whole album is kind of trippy, but that song especially caused quite a stir. The lyrics are lifted almost directly from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It's a trip, literally. It really set the tone for the next 2 singles, Strawberry Fields Forever and Penny Lane, and the Beach Boys-inspired Sgt. Pepper album the following year in 1967 - though I don't think they ever did another song that was quite as "out there" as Tomorrow Never Knows. I remember when I was about 16 putting on the Revolver album before bed that I had on CD. I never did that again. Lesson learned. 1966 and 1967 were very experimental years for the Beatles. The late 60s in general were. After I Am The Walrus was released, people started the whole "Paul is dead" theory and John Lennon to some extent played along, by continuing what he started with the song Rain from 1966 by back masking or recording certain sections of songs backwards and leaving silly messages to mess with conspiracy theorists. On the White Album, there was a song called "Glass Onion," and in it John actually sings, "The walrus was Paul." He almost made a game of it because in the beginning, the Beatles WEREN'T hiding messages in their songs. The Rain had a back masked ending, but that was almost an accident. They just thought it sounded trippy. But when people accused them of hiding satanic messages in their songs, John kind of threw in goofy messages, probably because he was high half of the time. Revolution #9 was the most notorious of those kids of songs. Playing it backwards is probably just as scary as Tomorrow Never Knows. The gibberish in that song you could make sound like almost anything.
Tomorrow Never Knows still sounds like it's from the future even today
After “walrus” and “tomorrow NK” have the dessert of “I want you (she’s so heavy)”.
@@andrewkorbel9883 Or Revolution #9. In reverse. Care for a nightmare when you’re 16 years old and figure you’re putting the White Album on before bed? 😂
Your reaction was adorable! It's so much fun for me to live my youth again, watching you react just as we did in our youth with each new Beatle's song that came out.
It is a metaphor regarding magic, Satan, his demons, etc.
This album opened the way for other groups such as The Rolling Stones and their delving into the dark side with "Their Satanic Majestie's Request" album.
In the 1950's and 60's there was a group of popular holiday camps in England called Butlins. To keep the kids amused and give the parents a break they hosted the Butlins Beaver Club for kids. As one of those Butlin Beaver Club kids we used to march around the camp shoutng...'Oompah, oompah, stick it up your jumper' while pulling our jumpers out and sticking our fist up there
Thank you Jayy, i got it when i was just a little kid , say 7 or 8, its just a lyrical exercise, go with it! Need more reactors like you, great work as always.
Lucky you... listening to 'I Am The Walrus' for the first time in your life! 😉
I was 13 or 14 when I first heard it, and I thought it was very scary, but I immediately wanted to hear it again. And again. And again.
Until today.
It's a vibe.
Lowrider in the house for the walruses. This will be a epic reaction. Enjoy. Jayy.
Jayy. You nailed this so good!!!
You're hearing this in stereo (stereo means there's different information in the left ear from the right). But you have to remember, when we were first introduced to the Beatles music, we were listening to it on AM radio (low-fidelity MONO), since that's where music radio could be found. I wish all you reactors had gone through and discovered the Beatles music in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, the way we discovered them. You'd have a better appreciation of how they evolved and grew. You can Google "Beatles discography" and bring up a chronology of their singles and their albums. Every single they released was a hit (most were #1 hits). And what set the Beatles apart from just about every other band in history is that even all the songs on their albums (including the ones that were never released as singles) were (and are) widely known to most everyone who was alive back then. Their music just became the soundtrack of our lives. For many, it still is. You're in about the 1967 time. Have you listened to "All You Need Is Love?" Maybe the greatest Beatles song of all time.
Ur awesome Jayy. Luv ur reactions
Love when people try to analyze every lyric. 🤣🤣🤣
I was 16 when this came out. It’s fantastic John writing.
Surreal song but a Masterpiece....!!!!
The more you figure this out then your mind get's blown once again. Welcome to I am the walrus. Good reaction once again.
I love your comments”This must be John Jennon!”. Yes! Only John can do a composition such as this!
Genius music gods❤
"This definitely gotta be John Lennon." LOL, you picked up on that quick, ha! One of his best, which is really saying something. Great reaction!
Seriously? You totally nailed it. The song was meant to not make sense. Some of the lyrics were written during LSD trips. The music...the sounds...it's trippy, but you're right. It's a vibe. But, as weird and senseless as it is, it's a great work, with the strings, the background vocals and voices. I was a kid when this came out, and I thought it was very cool. The imagination that was used to create this with the technology that was available was pretty much as good as it could get. In a way, the limitations OF the technology helped propel it forward.
I've always loved this song, and it never gets old for me. I've heard it so very many times and I still love it.
Boy, you nailed it! It's meant to be a nonsense song. During the time when The Beatles recorded it, people were reading things into their records. Trying to find hidden meanings that aren't there .....Secret messages and such. So John decided, "Okay, I'll give 'em something to try to figure out." And he was just messing with those people's minds. They went crazy.
I Am The Walrus was the first song the Beatles recorded after the passing of their long time manager Brian Epstein. Those present at the session said there was a negative vibe in the air throughout the session. The Eggman was Eric Burden of the Animals. Eric told John that he had a proclivity for breaking raw eggs on his sexual partners during love making. The two sets of vocals on the outro coda are "Oompah oompah stick it up your jumper" and "Got one got one everybody got one". RNB
i heard it was eric burdens girlfriend at the time who did the egg trick....
Don't you just love the way they fade songs out
Yes my dear just totally brings back memories our memory and all this stuff 1st came out going to the record store buying it put it on kicking back those were the days
You made me laugh no end, the look on your face as the song went on was a picture ! Listening to the Beatles is an experience, not just another song !
It took me quite a while to "get" the Beatles songs which appear to make no sense. As I've grown older, I find the best way to look at them is the way you'd look at a surrealist painting by someone like Salvador Dali. The images aren't meant to be interpreted as symbolism or allegory. They just are what they are, like images in a dream.
Jayy, not a lot of people get "I am the Walrus" on the first listen, Great Reaction! Everybody who commented on your reaction is right. John with his tongue in cheek had to of said, "This oughta keep them up at night"
Great reaction. It really took me back in time. You are officially pretty cool.
Outstanding song choice ✌💛
You nailed it, you see many reaction videos, where they have no clue, this is one you just feel the vibe or you don’t, you clearly felt the vide girl. Hugs
The speeches at the end before the fade out was from a BBC radio production of King Lear that just happened to be playing on the radio at the time they were recording the song. I just think it was brilliant to include that in the song
Vid host says, "Just Go With It !" "Just vibin' like that, honey." Hit the nail on its head. No one was ever near the Beatles on this one.
The whole world went, "Whhaaa ?" Yet it has a special place in the hearts of Beatle music lovers everywhere.
As a teenager I use do sit ups to this song. IT WAS SIDE B on the 45rpm of side A.
One of my favorite songs!
MASTERPIECE!!!! REVOLUTIONARY!!!!😀😀😀😀
Maybe the most popular song from the Fab Four's psychedelic period.
One of the best, most hip bands of all time. Hands down. I was 15 when this came out. Your take is pretty much how it was for us back then. Right on.
An amazing production! And a groove! By the way, that talking towards the end is a radio play(that was playing on the radio when they recorded the song)of Shakespeare's King Lear. If you read King Lear, you can actually follow along(...Oh, Untimely death...Is he dead? Sit you down, Father...rest you"). Great job, Jayy!
My head moves the same as yours when I listen to that song. My eyes are closed as well and the room is usually dark. Very pychocoolic!
Masterpiece
Still ahead of time
I know, I know, this song was Johns snub at everyone analyzing his lyrics, but the first line, "I am he, as you are he, as you are me, and we are all together" can totally be represented in a Venn diagram, and, using symbolic logic, you can prove this is a valid argument.
That being said, this is my favourite Beatles song.
"Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye."
*Two second pause
"Wait, what?!"
LMAO!!!
Jim Carrey actually does a decent performance of this, truly unbelievable
This song had the makings of rap bars
smoke pot.. smoke pot.. everybody smoke pot...the chant at the end!
No, they are chanting " got one got one, everybody's got one ".
That's production on a four-track recording machine. Innovators
It's hard for people today to understand the impact this song had on fans of the group when it was released. This was out there beyond Pluto! Released on the flip side of the single " Hello, Goodbye, " it proved how experimental the Beatles were becoming in the studio.
I dont care about what the lyrics mean as i just love the music.
At the end of the song it sounds like there saying everyone is smoking pot… haha 😂❤
They are saying " got one got one, everybody's got one ".
LOL she really got it
Try “Glass Onion” or “Happiness is a Warm Gun”, “Piggies”.. “Me and My Monkey”.. pretty much anything off of the White Album!
If you haven't listened to Glass Onion by The Beatles yet you must after this. Makes the most sense and reveals a surprise!
Lennon grew tired of all the people ascribing "what they think he means" to songs he writes. He decided to write a song with fake words (Koo Koo ka Joob) and phrases that have no meaning whatsoever, just to confuse everyone to a great melody and passion.
I get tired of people saying how tired John was of people analysing his lyrics....sorry you're just the umpteenth post on this tired theme I've seen....ahhh, I'm so tired
I think john wrote the lyrics to this song after finding out that college professors were requiring their students to study his lyrics for the meaning behind them. John said something to the effect that the lyrics don't matter and wrote this song to prove a point.
This song is over the top “strange”.
Unique
The line "Yellow Matter Custard" came from a nursery rhyme that John and his friend Pete Shotton sang as small children on the playground.
My favorite Beatle song. Not only John's excellent vocals, but the melody has a real majesty to it.
A song like no other by no one else. Only John Lennon could write this. So great
Back in high school in the mid 70's, we studied this song for a week in music class dissecting the lyrics!
Just fun and that's it! I love everything the Beatles every did! Silly psychedelic lyrics in that one!!! Super smart.
Your take nailed it... just go with it!
That you even know and can say with conviction and without hesitation “This has to be John Lennon” tells me you have arrived in terms of the journey you have been on.
Just imagine it's 1967. You are listening to 'I Am The Walrus' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever' after a couple of 'hits' from your favorite pipe. Oh man, what a feeling. The good old days.
"This is one of those songs, where you just vibe to it.... Go with it!" EXACTLY. It's a vibe, it's a trip, but it's a groove too.
It's Psychedelic, Baby!
The Magic Mystery Tour album was heavily inspired by psychedelics. :)
One of the Best.
I first heard this song when I was 18 & thought what the hell is this! I've loved it ever since. You probably need to read the lyrics to try to understand it, if it can in fact be understood. Note how John makes reference to "Lucy in the Sky", in his song "Glass Onion" off the White Album he makes reference to "The Walrus was Paul".
John wrote the trippy songs. This one, Strawberry Fields, Tomorrow Never Knows, etc.
You're right! It's just plain fun wordplay.
Just to clarify "yellow matted custard, dripping from a dead dogs eye" was the British equivalent to the USA kids song of Greesy, grimeie gopher guts.
It was part of a little ditty they'd sing as children.
You are correct that was John… The Beatles will never disappoint!!
They must have dropped about a hundred tabs of windowpane before doing this one.
One of the great artworks of the 20th C.
John loved experimental music.
John was a fan of Lewis Carroll who wrote a poem called The Walrus and the Carpenter in Through the Looking Glass.
The bit at the end folks through for years was everybody smoke pot. John said in an interview it was egg fart because Paul kept eating scrambled eggs at the home when they were working on the songs.
A excellent song!
This song really freaked me out when I was a kid. I grew to like it when I got older. Just something I like listening to.
