What the hell is the meaning of this song anyway? I love it but have always thought it to be just bizarre. Any Beatles lovers (or non Beatles lovers) have any guesses? I won't even attempt.
The Beatles - I Am The Walrus Here's what Wikipedia has to say about it: Interpretation[edit] Although it has been reported that Lennon wrote "I Am the Walrus" to confuse those who tried to interpret his songs, there have been many attempts to analyse the meaning of the lyrics.[20][21] Seen in the Magical Mystery Tour film singing the song, Lennon, apparently, is the walrus; on the track-list of the accompanying soundtrack EP/LP however, underneath "I Am the Walrus" are printed the words ' "No you're not!" said Little Nicola' (in the film, Nicola is a little girl who keeps contradicting everything the other characters say). Lennon returned to the subject in the lyrics of three of his subsequent songs: in the 1968 Beatles song "Glass Onion" he sings, "I told you 'bout the walrus and me, man/You know that we're as close as can be, man/Well here's another clue for you all/The walrus was Paul";[22] in the third verse of "Come Together" he sings the line "he bag production, he got walrus gumboot"; and in his 1970 solo song "God", admits "I was the walrus, but now I'm John." Eric Burdon, lead singer of the Animals, claims to be the 'Eggman' mentioned in the song's lyric. Burdon was known as 'Eggs' to his friends, the nickname originating from his fondness for breaking eggs over naked women's bodies. Burdon's biography mentions such an affair taking place in the presence of John Lennon, who shouted "Go on, go get it, Eggman..."[23]

Maybe some sort of alter ego? Or nonsense from an LSD trip?

Probably the latter, ha! It's amazing to me how they can take just about anything and make it genius.

Have no idea what they were on about with that song but LOVE The Beatles. Such genius. Just this last week I have had The Beatles entire collection on shuffle on my iPhone so it plays in my car. Man they have gem after gem. Amazing.

Actually it kind of reminds of the Lewis Carroll Poem:
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-- Of cabbages--and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot-- And whether pigs have wings."
