sadie was what john called the maharishi. And he was accused by several girls of touching them. Thats why john left the indian retreat. He thought the maharishi(sadie) was a fraud.
@WithTheBeatles1990 John wrote this song about Maharishi Mahesh Yogi after they found out he was crooked. The original title for the song was called "Maharishi."
Non apprezzata all'epoca è da rivalutare.

Want to cry tears at this clarity, I can actually hear individual members in the harmonies. I am high and this is everything. The best. You played well today. Good job. APPLAUSE.
i know that this is highly unlikely, but what if radiohead just happened to come up with a similar melody??? i dunno really, every musican has been influenced by others.
@8888111188887777 I sincerely doubt that this is a case of plagiarism. The chord progression is fairly similar but eccentric enough to be deemed a mere coincidence. And how can Radiohead be your favorite band if you consider them artistic thieves?
Great song, Lennon originally wrote something like "Maharishi what have you done, you twat, what have you done, you made a fool of everyone ahh you fucking cunt" so George said change the lyric you cant say that! so he did
@CrashEddie7 Nah mate-Lennon wrote it in India-the original lyrics i posted...George mentioned it in the Anothology book that he told Lennon he couldnt possibly say that!
@8888111188887777 I know that this was the original. That's what I like Radiohead for, they take old things and make them new. Check out Chopin's Prelude, Op. 28, no. 4 for another good example.
@edwardelricfangirl1 He originally had "Maharishi". George asked him to change it to "Sexy Sadie". I think sexy sadie is better than having the line be with Maharishi.
Lennon wrote some really gorgeous tunes on the white album that weren't big hits like this one, Dear Prudence, Julia, Happiness is a warm gun. I think its some of his finest work.
The way I see it, in the first place, how could Mia Farrow NOT think that the dude would want to jump her bones? I mean, firstly the era was ripe for this, then he takes her into a cave, they mediate together -his style- and then he hugs her. However, it appears as though a rival of Maharishi set him up for this (I don't know the details) Lennon was ticked , but later on apologized to the guru. What could someone expect- a white girl in a cave with a guru? PLEASE!!
Guru Maharishi wasn't so sexy ( except in the eyes of his lowly sycophants ). He made a fool to slobber and drool, then lick his holy feet with godly saliva. Holy Greenback was good for his spirituality. If I was there, I'd throw a pie in his Holy Face, a Cow Pie. Worship a cow? Well then, here's something I hope you'll really like.
@Nguli34689 Hindus don't worship cows. Cows are more like pets & seen to be more useful alive than dead.They don't beleive that people should slaughter cows either. Bit like how in western society we don't usually eat cats or dogs.
@lilymacsification No we don't eat cats and dogs where I live. However, we had people with different laws and points of view who ripped off our household pets and cook them. I am an iconoclast and my message resonates with Nikolas Schreck's outlook: "Although I am a strict vegetarian, if I see a sacred cow, I say KILL IT.!!" LOL. Reviewing your comment, my conclusion is that I should have worded it more carefully. I was talking about that 16 year old guru of the early '70s and other con artists.
this song is actually about the maharishi. when the beatles went to india, they learnt about the indian culture through the maharishi, and they caught him breaking the rules.so, they wrote this song. but, if you replace they words sexy sadie for maharishi, it tells you how they really felt about the maharishi.
