"I Am The Walrus" by the Beatles
the Walrus refers to the walrus in Lewis Carroll's "the walrus and the carpenter."
Lennon wrote the song, mostly, under the influence of acid and also to purposely confuse listeners... he heard that college professors were making students analyze Beatles' lyrics and watned to confuse them.
not a bad sense of humor.

I Am the Walrus by the Beatles.
Is it a song about nothing or is it a song about so very much that there's no way to possibly comprehend it all? Before I sat down and listened to the song, never knew that something so confusing and bizarre could be so fascinating. I used to sit and listen to the song's coda over and over again, just to try and figure out what all went into that sonic collage. Imagine my surprise, years later in one of my college literature classes, to realize that some of those spoken lines mixed into the background of I Am the Walrus actually came from a scene in King Lear

The beatles I am the walrus! I love it! John Lennon had read a book about the walrus and I believe the walrus was the bad guy. Some of the images were inspired by LSD I'm sure. There are shakespeare play recordings at the end.
