  This song was in response to the critics saying that their lyrics were gibberish and made no sense. So they made a song that was gibberish and made no sense. Trolling at it’s finest

  "A Day in the Life" was the song hollywood was thinking of.

  To me, this is the greatest Beatles song. So by default, it might be the best song of all time! Either way it’s a frickin masterpiece!

  This is one of those songs that when you park, you sit and let the song finish before getting out of the car.

  "This is the Beatles?!!"  Yep, that's the thing -- the Beatles offered so many different sounds and performed in so many different genres (some that they invented) and you could never tell where they were going next. But wherever they went, it would be great!

  This song gets overlooked because of the name of the song by casual fans but tbh this is probably one of the best songs by the Beatles ever. Lennon wrote the song but Ringo had the most difficult part trying to keep that slow of a Tempo for that long of a song. Paul jumped in with the tambourine to help Ringo keep Tempo. I hate that people don't give Ringo the recognition he deserves. The man was definitely the backbone of the band. Awesome reaction🤘🏼🤌🏼🔥

  This song was partially inspired by John learning that his old school had a class for studying Beatle lyrics so he concocted something nonsensical to really challenge them. &nbsp;Another avenue of inspiration was Lewis Carroll&apos;s poem &quot;The Walrus and the Carpenter&quot;. &nbsp;In addition, he took all sorts of inside jokes/situations and added them. &nbsp;For example, according to Patti Boyd, who was George&apos;s wife at the time, &quot;semolina pilchard&quot; (a &apos;pilchard&apos; is a type of sardine) was a reference to Sergeant Pilcher of the London Drug Squad who made it his mission to bust as many rock stars for possession as he could. &nbsp;The &quot;egg-man&quot; was a reference to Eric Burdon, singer for the group The Animals who recounted to John a story of a raw egg being used during a sex act. The &quot;yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog&apos;s eye&quot; came from John asking his childhood friend, Pete Shotton to remember the words from a nonsensical children&apos;s rhyme they used to recite. &nbsp;It went: &nbsp;&quot;Yellow matter custard, green slop pie, all mixed together with a dead dog&apos;s eye, slap it on a butty, ten foot thick, then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick&quot; (a &quot;butty&quot; is UK slang for the word &quot;sandwich&quot;). &nbsp;Near the end, what sounds like people reciting lines is from a recording of the play King Lear that was taken directly from the radio broadcast by the BBC. &nbsp;FYI, Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds&apos; title was inspired by a drawing that John&apos;s son, Julian drew a picture of his classmate, Lucy with starbursts around her. &nbsp;Julian himself called the picture that and John (and Julian) had always maintained that was true. &nbsp;The Beatles weren&apos;t too afraid to talk about drugs in general during that time, so I can&apos;t see John trying to play coy and needing to use Lucy in the Sky as code for LSD. &nbsp;If he did try to use it as code to pass censors, it failed because the BBC banned it anyway due to the alleged &quot;LSD&quot; reference.

  Oh man I still remember when I first dove into the Beatles&apos; music and saying &quot;This is The Beatles?!&quot; over and over again haha<br>Their catalog is so diverse and good, they really could do no wrong and pioneered so much by experimenting nonstop!<br>If you guys can, I highly recommend &quot;Tomorrow never knows&quot; it was released in 1966 but it sounds waaaay ahead of it&apos;s time!

  Welcome to the psychedelic Beatles. You need to listen to Helter Skelter. The most non Beatles song ever and trippy as hell. Pure banger

  Once the Beatles decided to stop playing live and they didn&apos;t have to worry about reproducing their songs in concert they went wild with their creativity. Their producer George Martin played a huge role in all the experimentation. He was essentially the fifth member of the band and the entire Abbey Road studio was his instrument. Almost every song they recorded from 1965 until their breakup featured new recording techniques and tricks that George invented on the spot. He&apos;s one of the most important people in the entire history of music recording.
