"Air" stole the intro of this song and used it in every song they ever made

I am going to get killed. I know it is meant to be a classic, but .......

For me it has not made the transition to a classic state, it sounds dated and only seems to appeal to people still looking back at time when they were stoned. I grew up with the Beatles and despite a few good pieces I always thought they sucked. Sorry folks, but I guess I was not stoned enough when I was younger.

If I ever become wealthy, I'm going to comission someone to paint a picture similiar to this album cover. Instead of the people on the cover, I'd have an assortment of actors, writers, musicians, politicians and other show business celebrities that I think are overrated.

This one always makes me think of Lucille Ball, but I don't recall her being famous for wearing diamonds. They should have called the song Liberace in the Sky with Diamonds.

Must it be about lysergic acid diethylamide? What about "librae," "solidi," and "denarii" (pounds, shillings, and pence)?

Or, then, it could be a song about an imaginary "Lucy" character, who's up in the sky and wearing some diamonds. It just might, you know. You never can tell.

This absolute classic really needs no comment whatsover - but there, I've just made one!

Cant help but notice that the name of the band, both on RP and on the album cover is "Beatles" not "The Beatles".

Surely this is yet more more evidence that Paul had TB and subsequently died ?

OK It's quite possible that the original song was inspired by his son's drawing. But nobody can really believe that John was not writing about LSD Just listen to the lyrics.
This 'Oh, Really? I never noticed' act is about as dumb as re-releasing 'He's So Fine' as 'My Sweet Lord' and saying the same thing.
