THE BEATLES - LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS

[1HippieRebel]

I heard that this song actually isn't about the drug LSD and that its actually about a picture I think Ringo drew when he was younger.

[clariinhaj]

I'm just watching the comments and getting scared of the vid ... I haven't seen it yet

[1rocks90]

OMG WHEN YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES YOU CAN SEE PICTURES creepey

[jhonbarata]

psycodélic show...

[szczeq]

lsd

[puzleman1]

Lucy Was an actual girl who was julians class mate in london...she recently died of a rare disease at age 43...

[leiwolf27]

forgotten how good this is, so stop trying to take it apart and just enjoy

[mAg0mAN19]

I <3 LSD

[Blayu]

HELL YES

[mAg0mAN19]

this whole movie is a mindfuck as the nostalgia critic would put it... lol in a good way :D

[SaraTheShiznit]

@ anyone saying The Beatles were high all the time/had to be high to make this video etc.

Do some research, don't just give in to the stereotypes. I'm not going to say they didn't use drugs, any of them would admit that they did, but to say they were "high all the time" is very general and unlikely to be true.

Also, the Yellow Submarine movie, along with this clip, was not made by The Beatles. They only contributed a cameo at the end and the songs. They didn't even voice their animated selves.

[BLADADADADA]

rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies!

[TheManaLord]

so drugged i love it

[SOU1R34P3R]

No one would ever sing a song like this unless they were high lol. Not gonna lie.

[cobbtothejay]

or make a video like that... face it the beatles were junkies...

but their music is incredible

the best :D i love them

[abcniggerssuck]

acid is the best

[Bethcaaraa97]

The Beatles Are Lege But Everyone Has To Admit Half The Time They Wer Far Too Stoned To Know What Was Goin On

[MaddyFlowerChild16]

maybe, but you see, that little detail enabled them to make amazing music

and btw this song isn't about drugs, there actually was a girl named Lucy, google it.

[paulmccartney619]

OMG,This video gets u so POSSESED

[theathehamster]

yum..marshmallow pies!

[PolishMusician17]

if you have actually met eric clapton then you have the right to make a judgment about him but until then your iggnorant. Eric Clapton for your information was a very influential guiatr player back in the day. his band was cream.

[TheEldarMarine]

I wouldn't know Eric Clapton b/c hes a fag

[pekle84]

LSD ...

Lucy in the Sky with Diamons

[TheEldarMarine]

Who's Eric clapton?

[MrNoahFx]

look up the songs...Sunshine of Your LOve by Cream (hes the guitar player) and Cocaine by Eric Clapton. Along with Layla and I Shot the Sheriff...just a few

[mableh1]

yeah right!!!!

[DarkieBC]

you don't know Eric Clapton you know nothing

[mableh1]

Yes, this was when the Beatles were in "rare form" UNFORGETTABLE.......One and only Beatles, never anyone, or group like them in history. They paved the way for all the others from England. Including my favorite, ERIC CLAPTON. Good show!

[TheEldarMarine]

Who's Eric Clapton?

Im serious i never heard of him lol...

[mableh1]

I know you know who Eric Clapton is. Anyone who doesn't know who he is is either too young to know or has been living in the dark ages, so don't play games like that with me. Anyway, I could care less if you don't know who he is, but what's the lol about?

[KurtKieidis]

LSD ! YEAH!

[Sh1tMast3r]

best song!

[GivepeaceachanceJL]

[CookieDoughROXXXF3p]

Me 2 It was so awesome/cool/weird But I LOVZ THAT Song

[TheBeatlesareHOT]

@SheepHerder12

It isnt lsd.

It was written because of his son. There was a girl in his class names Lucy in his sons class. And he drew a picture of her. and well, showed it to John!

[waterbottle122]

lsd

[styhngry]

what a weird song!

[QVrat123]

overlooking all the drug influenced allegations this is a trully beautiful piece of art

along with the whole Sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band album

[slimsadeyy]

QVrat123- well said!

[aPpLeJuIcE37RainLucy]

Yup!

best album of all time!

[hardclassicrocker666]

i used to sing this all the time when i was 5 and i got i trouble in kindergarten for singing this when the teacher asked me a math question

[EllieLovesRainbows]

this is from "the yellow sumbmarine"

i grew up watching that movie.

it's great

[Xbosch]

Utter pish.

[CIETTA99]

LSD ruled back then, try it now and I will have to intubate you. Drugs purity was different back then....

[prosk8er10112]

actually they were SKYY HIGHH on LSD!!!! haha

[Soljerman]

[ykhan4]

my cousin had an Epilepsy attack watching this.

[MPSR22]

[apioperro]

jajajajajajajajaa

[alebak]

Im not even through the whole song and I think this HAS to be about LSD

[knoxknox11]

o shit that looks fuckin awsome

i wanna do lsd now!

[prosk8er10112]

i wanna do lsd now!

[Redsoxgirl89]

Wow, I feel so stupid. I knew the song was about drugs or something, I juts didn't know the whole story. I love the song though. A pure classic.

[yusyus13]

This is a trippy video.

Just to clear things up.. the song was inspired by John's kid's picture (A pic of a girl named lucy in the sky with diamonds). It was about an acid trip though.

[mat876]

daed si luap....lol yer right;)

[mat876]

on the other hand it could mean LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) drugs that makes a person hillusinate ( see things ) haha

[Headbanger14]

No shit, I feel like I'm on LSD watching this video.

[lindseyboo83]

Wow, I know what movie I heard this in-'Shampoo' w/Warren Beauty. My mum used to have it.  Cool song!

[19Peace69]

Can You Guys Tell Me Whats LSD?

[mat876]

LSD means LANDING SHIP DOCK where lucy always gets her diamonds after walking through a place with tangerine trees and marmalade skies and tripping over tortoises and lizards drinking beer :)

[xoJapaneseAnimeox]

LSD tisk tisk tisk

[Horrormoviefan12002]

songfacts/detailphp?id=120 about a girl

[orangemushroom]

But anyway... do you really have to argue over whether it was LSD or Johns' kid's drawing. Just listen to the song and like it or don't (we'll never know the real explanation for sure)

[SargentPepper67]

I'm sure its been said but the acronym is right in there for those who have missed it. Lucy-Sky-Diamond. LSD...Probably the peak of their drug use.

[orangemushroom]

It was Julian's picture

[ShangoMongo]

LSD!

[pascual92]

yeah!!! LSD XD

[drknots]

this was very LSD based along with Julian's drawing which was later confirmed by Ringo. This was a fun song to trip on in the 70s and still is today, Rock on!

[drknots]

I agree with TAMARLANE, that's exactly how it went down.

[SonceSenka]

This song is REALLY based on the drug!! that`s the hidden message @arni

[TAMARLANE]

That settles it then.Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds was inspired by LSD. This hallucinigonenic drug was everywhere at the time this song was written, and of course, the Beatles themselves experimented with it.

[sanjag11]

idiot it was inspired by his daughter drawing a pic...and for chris sake not his son...people it wasn lsd till later on...

[TAMARLANE]

Idiot? What are you on? 'shrooms?

I will continue to believe this little tune is about LSD forever. The daughter at whatever tender age must have been tripping when she drew the picture.

[tannerbarrett]

arni158 - ur a complete dumbass - Lucy - Sky - Diamonds - its even abbreviated you dumbass - and fucking romanblood- who the fuck kind a fag names ther self roman blood - fucking homo - by the way - UR WRONG

[TAMARLANE]

How about John's son drew this picture, inspired by LSD, and the rest is history. Of course it is about LSD you dimwit. I was there, hanging out in the Haight Ashbury panhandle (Golden Gate Park) in 1968'/69.

[metalhead4876]

Wow romanblood your a fag

Johns son was drawing a picture and told john it was lucy in the sky with diamonds and then he wrote the song

[romanblood]

did you guys no this song is based on the drug LSD.

awesome band btw

[arni158]

no it's not based on the drug LSD..u faggot:@

[theglobalcommunity]

Kinda fuzzy but we all need better FOCUS now: Don't We?
