John considered it a throw away song. George Martin dressed it up with some horns. John insisted on the animal sound effects and said it had to be in such an order that each animal could eat the animal that preceded it.
Written by John when he was bored living in the suburbs with his wife and having trouble coming up with material for Paul's new "concept album". He was doing a lot of LSD, drinking, fighting and generally not wanting to be married or "settled down"...Suburban hell for John.
@SeattleLA Please correct me if I'm wrong. but they stopped because John was afraid of getting shot because of his comment that they were bigger than Jesus, correct? I remember reading that somewhere... but anyway it would have been amazing to see them performing these songs live :D
@ittems I have recently concluded, that the main reason is exactly as you say, the comment John made. Many other reasons have been stated, even from band members, such a being burnt out from touring; the lack of togetherness as a band; not getting along; etc. but John's comment led to the retirement from touring and in reality, the break-up (in part). I really believe he should have said that they were more popular than churches, which is what he may have meant.
@SeattleLA.. BROWN'S book states EASTMAN, LINDA'S father advised MCCARTNEY ( he was a lawyer ) to buy up the BEATLES catalogue BEHIND THE OTHER BEATLES BACKS.........catoutofbag...NO MORE BEATLES...cannot trust a GEMINI
@1willhughes I wish people were not so greedy and money- hungry. Bands start out as kids, and they get along great, and then later big problems occur, ruining friendships, often.
@SeattleLA ...the seed of man 's eventual self destruction...you can not treat, legislate, eliminate GREED from the human mind. it's not just BANDS, as you state, but ALL of us.... as child, all were my friends.. NOW...i dislike and have little patience for anyone......i dislike yoko and don't really know why, but she DID say....that it was a humiliation to be human. Myself, I know that we live in a primitive barbaric age.'....adults are f-ucked up...kids are FAR more together.
You never mention dislikes because some asshole is going to do it just to piss people off. But you know what? Who gives a shit. Appreciate the music, not what everyone else thinks.
John's voice, Ringo's drum fills and Paul's awesome guitar solo at 1:17 and not forgetting the brass section..........unbelievably good, This recording has it all, thank you.
*big smile & LOL. I used to put headphones on my roommate and then "turn it up!" for the last 30 seconds to get her to wake up. She'd bolt up, yell a few choice words at me and then whip the headphones off. But it worked! LOL

God, if the Beatles had only toured their whole career. Can you imagine seeing them if they had performed songs from Pepper?

@dazsti2 Paul also did the solo on tax-man ( in addition to co-writing it with George but didn't take credit) George asked Paul to fix taxman up.
