This is a home tape recording by John Lennon recorded in 1968 after the Beatles' trip to Rishikesh,India.
It was recorded before the idea of Sexy Sadie came up...
However in this 'song' John is half-talking,half-singing about his impressions of his trip to India and of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
NOTE:Due to several complaints..I underline that 'hole' is a typo.Sorry:)

    Sexy Sadie was about the Maharishi harrassing the beautiful women invited to his camp.

    Lennon realised that he was just using his position, to get laid, like any celebrity..............

    Sexy Sadie originally meant "Maharishi, what have you done - you've made a fool of everyone"

    But they changed the lyrics, because of fears of legal action.

  • haha awesome!!! john lennon understood that god was a concept created by humanity to relieve and soothe our pains and hurtful dealings, in this world, this life...guess he had to find out the hard way though that we have a tendency to destroy our gods...R.I.P.

  • who cares, papialeman John tells it like it was....

  • @papialeman Plus you can tell he's stoned off his ass with Yoko

  • @papialeman Dude this was how it was before George suggested that John be more subtle and substitue Maharishi with "Sexy Sadie"

  • 2:35 Donovan and Mike Love of The Beach Boys.

  • He's having a conversation in song.  John is just fucking amazing.

  • LOVE THIS! THANK YOU!

  • lol yoko cracks me up here. "what's wrong with your thighs? you have nice thighs!"

  • John should've overridden George and published "Sexy Sadie" with the Maharishi's name in the title.
