Thanks for watching everyone! Unfortunately, I reacted to the wrong version but it was still great, and I have since heard the original. Thanks to all who brought it to my attention!

@taradalik1405 Год назад

I was about to tell you that. 😂

@daveabsolution5246 11 месяцев назад

I noticed that, but at least you now know the majestic beauty of the tune

@RicoCosta317 8 месяцев назад

This was the video for the film, Magical Mystery Tour, the name of the, well, magical album this was from. No need to apologize, bro, this was a way cool experience.

@konradv7 Год назад

John Lennon hated that people were always looking for secret meanings in the songs, so sometimes he'd write one like this and say "let them figure this one out". Same with Come Together.

@Azoria4 Год назад

Come Together does have a meaning though, each verse is about the Beatles - First is Ringo, second is George, 3rd is John and 4th is Paul

@daniellittle830 Год назад

Come together was written 4 Timothy Leary presidential run. That doesn't mean it says what you think he means it doesn't mean he thinks what you think it means. Research John Lennon and understand you'll never know what he's thinking. He wants to make you think

@jadebel7006 Год назад

Oh shut up ppl in the reply section come together just about s*x chill out lol

@jadebel7006 Год назад

He doesn't want to me you think , he's trolling you and laughing at your expense, John was weird in the sense he was very peaceful n down to earth n loving, while also a narcissistic ego man*ac and assh*le ...just like Paul..still love them both though

@jadebel7006 Год назад

George too really, they were all except Ringo, loving n kind yet kinda a holes lol I mean on the same George wrote a song crying over how ppl are loving enuf n then went on to make a song a few tracks down called piggies ,which is just mocking ppl that are greedy aka like nice things (as did he living in blue Jay way) n over weight ppl so .... lol but I still think they were mostly nice , j think, ringonwas clearly the nicest lol

@rubbersole79 Год назад

One of this old dudes fav Beatle songs. Something majestic about this to me. I can't explain it.

@jayvanslayer2787 Год назад

I say this is the best of the beatles songs. Great meaning, but everyone has their own idea what the song means, "I am, he as" figure it out.

@pizzarellayt Год назад

Just a heads up, if the "The Beatles" RU-vid channel didn't upload the video, it's probably not official. As somebody who's heard the final version of this song, I can tell that this is a different take or an edit. The final version doesn't go out of sync, and is a lot wilder than this. Anyways, this song is great, and was one of my dad's favorite Beatles songs next to "Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!" (though I think he preferred the versions from the film "Across The Universe"). I'd love to see a reaction to "I'm Only Sleeping", that's one of my personal favorite Beatles songs! Genuinely amazing, and very relatable (for me, at least.) Glad you enjoyed this!

@jamespenny9482 Год назад

Yeah this is definitely not the original recording as released on Magical Mystery Tour.

@cjmacq-vg8um Год назад

no, he wasn't rapping. and where'd that video come from? it put all the footage out of sequence and added footage. there's an actual music video taken stright from the movie. that's the one you should've watched. but youtube's so full of fraud and click-bate we don't know what the hell we're watching anymore. people expose themselves to the crappiest versions of songs without even knowing it. that's why EXPERTS should be involved in ALL youtube channels. because "uploaders" don't knnow what the hell they're doing.

@kenf6437 Год назад

Oops!! This is not the finished version as it appeared on the Magical Mystery Tour album. It’s an inferior version and is missing loads of good stuff and is even out of sync towards the end. Chuck this one in the bin and find the right version. I think if you just find a version showing the album cover and no video you will get the right one. Sorry!

@sandi8362 Год назад

The lyrics in the song are amazing. "Sitting on a corn flake waiting for the van to come .... " "

@DawnSuttonfabfour Год назад

I am English and "the van" was a real thing. Psychiatric patients were often collected in vans with men in white coats. It was a joke in the 60s/70s among us kids about "the van" coming for you with the "men in little white coats". We had 2 large old fashioned psychiatric hospitals locally so maybe it's a colloquial thing , although I don't think so. We were just outside London and that's what we thought it meant but hey, it's "I am the Walrus" so, y'know...😁

@keef7224 Год назад

John channeling his inner Dylan with brilliantly surreal lyrics and a stream-of-consciousness rap delivery. It’s a short distance from Subterranean Homesick Blues, Bob Dylan’s 115th Dream, and Maggie’s Farm to this, with a healthy dose of LSD sprinkled in along the way.

There wasn’t any rap (aswe know it today) when this came out but I strongly agree with your description of Lennon’s delivery here sounding almost like rap. This is a terrific song I never get tired of hearing.

John Lennon said it was "a nonsense song." He was tired of people trying to decipher his lyrics...🤣😅🤣

And yet he could not write a bad song. This is one of my favorites of theirs. I have a degree in music and it just made me appreciate this even more!

@jameshealy8402 Год назад

@gazt8926 Год назад

You should listen to John Lennon ‘give peace a chance’ he’s pretty much rapping on that

@braudabo Год назад

Again and again people catch this rehearsel/take number something version. A bit annoying, because the fully worked out official version of the song is much more compact and interesting.

@johnandrews3151 Год назад

This version of I Am The Walrus is from the movie Magical Mystery Tour. It is incomplete and a rough version compared to the album soundtrack version.

@daniellittle830 Год назад

This is 1967 the experimental value dead before their time experimental value and the freaking vocals are killer. They did it by hand. That's talent not programming machine to do it for you and then autotune your vocals period. Real deal, groundbreakers

@EnterHacker Год назад

Ya. Some of John Lennon's songs had kind of raps. Like Come Together. Best example.

@whispjohn Год назад

You must get the mono version, this is a remix from recently, there is a lot missed out on this one.

From a person who grew up in the 70's and if you are having a challenging time in deciphering this song, good luck. This song was written during their LSD days.

@davisworth5114 Год назад

This is after the lads took LSD, appears to be a number crafted with stream-of-consciousness lyrics, hope you dig the music I grew up with, do "Don't Let Me Down", live, good reactions!!!

@bartstarr100 Год назад

This song has no deep meaning. it has no meaning at all. Just John Lennon proving people will buy anything and try to interpret his lyrics.

@Stacy55ish Год назад

The Beatles didn't shy away from experimental music and whimsical lyrics.

If this song is rapping, it's pretty trippy rapping. Maybe instead of hip-hop, it's trip-rap. 🙂

About 20 years ago, I was in Louisville. One of the radio stations was going off the air after the weekend was done. For the entire weekend, 24 hours a day, they played this song. Just this song, over and over. It was surprisingly fun. And, if it got boring at all, I can't remember.

He wrote this after the Summer of Love, when things were heating up (Vietnam, US and UK racial tensions), and especially after the death of the Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein. I think this song is John mourning Brian’s death and slamming British homophobia (Brian was gay).

John wrote a lot of things under the influence of any number of substances during this time period and he loved to fuck with people. Although the majority of his and Paul's songs were published as Lennon/McCartney, it's usually easy to tell which one of them wrote it. Paul wrote most of the love songs and John wrote the bizarre ones.

@Prosper85 3 месяца назад

Short answer is yes he was rapping , turns out hip hops originality wasn't so original.. they built their foundation on what other artists had been doing way before mainstream rap was a thing surprise surprise. Sad thing about it is they say white people are "guests" in our own fricken language and form of expression.

@6teezkid 11 месяцев назад

Don’t know what went wrong there at the end. When re-mastered, it certainly wasn’t done like that. A problem with how someone uploaded it. All the beats got off, lyrics and music not in sync. Hmm…

@ofrabjousday1 Год назад

Who was allowed to butcher this incredible masterpiece?! The digital overdubs are an embarrassment, the drowning out of George Martin's orchestral work is a sin against music and the ending going out of synch shouldn't be allowed to exist in the world. Great reaction, but man, you still haven't heard this song if you go by this tattered video.

@AcidicSceptic Год назад

It was John's deliberate intent to write a song that's complete nonsense. The incoherent lyrics were meant to troll the fans. Most of it are just John's favourite things. E.g. "Sitting on a corn flake waiting for the van to come" was likely a combination of his favourite breakfast cereal (Corn Flakes) & a memory in early days waiting for a van to deliver their instruments or something.

@N2264J Год назад

I am the Walrus could be a hat tip to Alice in Wonderland or something as mundane as John wearing the walrus suit on the album cover. Or maybe each. If you put too much thought into it, you're doing it wrong. It's one of my favorite Lennon compositions.

@timgann5889 Год назад

According to john lennon, the song was based on his opinion of the book, alice in wonderland. And how he misunderstood the Walrus Character in the book.
