There are hidden messages in many Beatles' songs, but they are not exactly what Manson interpreted them to be. To learn how to hear the hidden meanings, search "Truth Contest" in Google and click on the first result, then open "The Present" and read through the section about The Beatles.
This song, and Dear Prudence are my favorites from the White Album. What a masterpiece album! This song has such an old-time, regal, (almost aristocratic), British feel to it, and I'm American!
Has anyone noticed right before the time changes from 1:11 to 1:12 you can hear what sounds like a bird 'cooing'? Is that an instrument, a singer, or an actual recording of a bird?
@Duplicity11 ye, its hard to hear but on the left channel there is definitely a pigeon cooing, im sure its not an electric guitar, adding a bird sound is the kind of thing beatles would do.... i have to mention either you are very perceptive or you were playing this LOUD because it is really subtle. well spotted
@gobacktorussia With the volume cranked fairly loud I can hear "cooing" but I don't think it's a pigeon. It sounds more like one of the lads making cooing sounds. It starts with a prrrrrrr sound and continues with other odd noises as the verse continues. Listen starting at around 1:00-1:10. This clearly not a pigeon. It's stuff like that, that made the Beatles who they were though. You might say that without the Beatles, Pink Floyd would not be who they became in the seventies. Prepare for flame
@fsklrk It helps to have decent reference monitors. I'm listening through a cheap pair of KRK RP5's and it's quite plain as day. If you listen at 1:00-1:10 on the left speaker, you will hear one of the boys Purring or something to that effect. Just before the vocals start again. It's there I swear.
I am a real fan of the beatles and i just discor it. many people in my school say why you like them? I'm glad I found the beatles first before these bastards in my school showed me just pieces of garbage like the beaver last name dude
This was inspired by Eric Clapton's love of chocolate. He and George Harrison were good friends.
George Harrison got the lyrics for this from the inside lid of a box of chocolates. Montelimart, Ginger Sling, Cream Tangerine, and Coffee Dessert were names of candies in the Mackintosh "Good News" assortment.
The line you have as "Knowing she would" is actually "Norweigen Wood" the name of the song. Which was an inside joke between John and Paul about a friends house who had Faux wood panelling. The song is actually about a reporter named Maureen Cleave who John tried to have a physical encounter with but was turned down- "We talked until two and then she said it's time for bed." and also "She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh...So I got up and crawled off to sleep in the bath.."
"Knowing She would" Is actually "Norweigen wood" which is the title of the song. The song is about John getting rejected by a reporter named Maureen Cleave. After which he feels inclined to burn down her apartment. The reference to "Norweigen wood" is an inside joke between John and Paul about a friends faux wood paneling they had in their house.

This song is so epic! I just love the lyrics and the saxophone is my favorite instrument! Also I have so many happy memories with it! Thank you, George!
I thought everybody knew this song is about Paul and his "fruity" songs. George actually said publicly that Mazwell's Silver Hammer was fruity. "What is sweet now turns so sour. We all know Oblah Diblah Da, but can you show me where YOU are?" Pretty obvious.
@RottenCorpseStench No. I read that this song is about Eric Clapton's sweet addiction. "You have to get them all pulled out after the savoy truffle" basically is relating to when Clapton's dentist was telling him that his teeth needed to be pulled out. But I'm not sure if that's all true; it was just one thing I heard. :)
@CarlottaMcPotato I read that too, and I think it's true as far as it goes. I think George used Eric Clapton's sweet tooth as a metaphor. I also believe Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds was about a child's drawing, but that Lennon used it as a metaphor for LSD. Sometimes things just fit.
@RottenCorpseStench Yeah. And guess who that child was? Julian Lennon (John's son). He drew a picture of his friend Lucy. And yes, sometimes things DO fit.
By the way, were Clapton's teeth pulled out? I never read into it; it's just something that I'd heard about Savoy Truffle (obviously from my comment).
@CarlottaMcPotato That is the word George Harrison used. We can't ask him now. But fruity is very close to saccharine, which is implied by the candies. Paul wrote many sweet nothing type songs. The same point was made in The Ruttles, when Eric Idle makes at being Dirk McQuickley composing at the piano. I don't know what happened to Clapton's teeth. I think the Lucy drawing belonged to a niece, but I forget.
"According to its creators, the inspiration for the song was a drawing by John Lennon's son, Julian, which Julian called "Lucy — in the Sky with Diamonds". The song sparked controversy when released, and was banned by the BBC because of the supposed reference to the drug LSD,[citation needed] with the first letter of each noun in the title spelling LSD; Lennon always denied the supposed LSD reference."
@RottenCorpseStench What does the song sound like it means? I don't get where you are going... I know Norwegian Wood was basically a play on words, so, could this song be the same?
@RottenCorpseStench I mean that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" along with the trippy lyrics sounds like a reference to LSD and a trip. This is one song I have no clue about what it means, if anything. It sounds like a dream experience to me. Maybe Julian made newspaper taxis, too.
@RottenCorpseStench the song is about julian lennons drawing of a girl called lucy he came home from school john asked what he drew and he said luicy in the sky with diamonds he liked it and used it and he heard some of the parts from "the goon show" a radio show he listened to as a child (its in the book the beatles meanings behind the songs)
Clapton liked chocolate and he always had a box of samplers..different kinds of chocolates in the same box...the different kinds are the lyrics in the song.
Directed to Eric Clapton, and not really a song about candy, although he had a sweet tooth. Eric basically told George "you're gonna lose that girl" before he married Patti Boyd Harrison.
@bookkeeper....the song really was about "Good News" candies. It has nothing to do with Pattie Boyd. Clapton could not have a few, he had to eat the whole box. "Good News" was a brand of candies in England. George took some of the names perfectly, and other names he made up. "You'll have to have them all pulled out" was referring to Claptons' teeth. I have seen the actual box of Good News candies/chocolates.
A really underrated Beatles song. It basically got lost amongst the dross on the later sides of that album.
One of the few "Big Band" style tunes they ever did, and as usual they managed to do something unique, both with the sax riff and the sax/lead guitar interaction. A great song, but this recording of it was really lousy.
No way the best tune on the white album! noty even George's best! just less familiar than some of the others. Great vibe to it tho,and still pisses on most other bands
George wrote this song for his friend Eric Clapton, who was a sweets fiend and had terrible teeth. We made homemade truffles this past Christmas. My teeth are fine, but I gained SEVEN POUNDS! ;)
