I hear The Beatles rarely, just to keep their impact away from fading. However, I have never met anyone who hates them, save some fanatics who think that all music should pray for God at all times.

The Beatles were before my time. But, I'll always hear this song, and remember my childhood in Liverpool, and my dad singing this song at the top of his discordant voice every time we came within a mile of the place. Love the Beatles, love Liverpool, and one day I know I'll make my way home again.

@jacobthelioneater You may be over-thinking it slightly lol

@VWman100 Clearly the beatles recognized the important role sex plays in almost EVERYTHING the human being does - which is why this song has so many sexual connotations.

And know that the beatles cleverly snuck sex into this song just increases my enjoyment of it.

@VWman100 Sex isn't bad. Conveying sexual ideas in an artistic manner is the foundation of the humanities. Its no wonder shakespear was known for his sexual jokes, art consistently depicts nudity and no good movie is complete without a sex scene.

We need to recognize and accept sex as a part off all our lives. Only then can we stop viewing sex as something 'ugly'. In truth, repression of sex just leads us to display it in worse, more perverted ways - like the smut you criticize.

@jacobthelioneater You're still a pervert, so stop ranting about your sick pervy thoughts and enjoy the song.

[jacobthelioneater]

@VWman100 1. You haven't met me. 2. The Beatles were high often, them weaving in sexual images seems pretty reasonable. 3. Even if the rest can be disputed, 'finger pie' has only one meaning, a form of sexual petting.

[VWman100]

@jacobthelioneater Wow, you are the biggest pervert I've ever met.

[jacobthelioneater]

This song is about sex and drugs.

For starters, the banker has illegitimate children that 'laugh at him behind his back', because he never wears a 'mack' (condom).

The 'fireman' keeps a portrait of the queen for masturbation purposes - keeping his 'engine' punctual. She is in his pocket, never actually near him.

Kids give each other 'finger pies'.

As the banker uses the barber as a excuse to see the mistress, the fireman runs away from rain - or women.

A nurse sells morphine under a bridge.

@SaruChan28 i dont credit there music for drugs. but thx for telling me!! :)

@musiclegend01 I am the Walrus was written because John Lennon was sick of people looking for deeper meaning in his songs, and decided to throw them something they couldn't process at all. Not because they were high. I'm sure they weren't averse to getting high, but it's honestly just a bit disrespectful to credit all their music to drugs and not the musicians, IMO.
