John Lennon with his piano, singing I Am The Walrus (Vocals & Piano only) - Best Quality

[FrauKaulitz1]

His voice is wonderful :) 

[HardDaysNight44]

I don't think its a demo. I think its just the real song with everything turned down a lot, cause you can hear other things very quietly.

[will179ea]

@HardDaysNight44 I won't say it anymore, this is not a demo, not the left or right speaker turn turned off, but it actually come from the rock band multitracks (which come from the original multitracks) :)

[HardDaysNight44]

@will179ea Okay. Sorry if I annoyed you, haha.

[AK4TsEv3N]

This is my favorite Beatles song. The lyrics are awesome and mindless!!

[noelgod]

at 1:48 in the "you let your knickers down" somebody flashes a pink tanga...

[SteveInFlorida]

This is just a recording of I Am The Walrus with the sound turned off on the left speaker, lol. Try it yourselves. Not a demo.

[will179ea]

@SteveInFlorida You're wrong, this is from the multitracks, not the stereo master

[SteveInFlorida]

@will179ea Hey man, meant no disrespect. Just saying..when I was 16 (1979) I loved this song and played it with the speaker balance on each side and this is what it was. That was before digitally-enhanced music, but I'll bet the producers of this cut found it as interesting as we did back then and decided to release it as such.

[SteveInFlorida]

@SteveInFlorida And you'll never convince me that, in the very end, the crowd isn't singing "Everybody smokes pot". In this version it is quite clear.

[JP5466]

@SteveInFlorida That's a never ending debate. It could very well be: "Everybody's got one"

[hippojuice23]

@JP5466 It's: 'oompa, oompa, stick it up your number! Seriously!

[bgumbyguitar]

@hippojuice23 its doompa meaning your dumper. and the overdub on that is "evrybody's got one" Acoodring to The beatles Recoring Sessions book :)

[bgumbyguitar]

@SteveInFlorida its clear to apot smoker maybe beacuse they are too high on POT

[will179ea]

@will179ea First the basic track is on the left speaker, so if you turn off the sound from left speaker, you just hear the orchestral accompaniment. Also the drums are completely audible on the left speaker from the stereo mix but barely audible on my video. In fact, this comes from the rockband multitracks :)

[MysticGizmos]

The Beatles were fucking weird.

[Ghstwn]

@MysticGizmos Nicely stated, well phrased too..... you wart. LOL!

[hippojuice23]

@MysticGizmos One of the first rockers from the mainstream to go 'post-modern'!

[patoolkaxD]

@MysticGizmos ...which was making Them even more amazing

[divinedgar]

is this a wurly, vox or rhodes...?

hoo nose owt dare?

a rhodes may not have been around yet, but i just love this keyboard part.

[grigoridj]

@divinedgar It's a hohner pianet

[casestudyification]

@grigoridj I was just looking through my Beatles books for authenticity of your statement (yes, I'm an obsessed fan/musician) and while it indicates that they had a Hohner Pianet, I noticed that there's no evidence of them owning a Wurlitzer. So... I think you're right.

[grigoridj]

@casestudyification I don't know if the beatles owned a wurli, but i'm pretty sure Billy Preston did. Just listen to get back or don't let me down.

[wellsonors]

This is not a demo.

[jonavanhalen]

i can hear a guitar!!!!

[will179ea]

@jonavanhalen I admit it, george's guitar is slightly audible :)

[bgumbyguitar]

@jonavanhalen wow man no shit.

[FatCucumberFilms]

@juanpablo6toon What demo?

[juanpablo6toon]

demo???

[will179ea]

@juanpablo6toon What?

[nicolas1400]

who the f*ck didnt like it? I will find you son of a *itch, I WILL FIND YOU!!

[rockawells]

Hohner Pianet, I think (also used by Zombies).

[PeteZolli]

@rockawells

And King Crimson.

[KevinMurphy01]

You're right. I just looked it up.

[KevinMurphy01]

I know he's using a mellotron like in Strawberry Fields, but the SFF mellotron was set to emulate flutes. What instrument does the mellotron emulate in this song? Sounds like a tamboura.

[will179ea]

@KevinMurphy01 i didn't know they used a mellotron for this song ! i thought it was e-piano. Are you sure they used a mellotron ?

[dadduorp]

@KevinMurphy01

Sounds more like a Wurlitzer e-piano running through some type of flanger effect to me

[angus147258]

@KevinMurphy01 There's no mellotron on this song. For the record, The Beatles only used mellotron on a small handful of tracks. He's playing either a Rhodes electric or a Wurlitzer for this I think.
