What a brilliantly absurd song... love it...

from the very best album ever...

when Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was released, it was really revolutionary the way it had all the lyrics posted like poems on the back of the sleeve... it was like a book of poems... it elevated rock music into the realm of high literature...

What a vivid word picture this song creates and I can see all the action in what's left of my minds eye! {#Bananapiano} {#Boohoo} {#Dancingbanana} {#Drummer} {#Bananajam} {#Bananasplit} {#Daisy}

Off this album alone, I think "A Day in A Life" is much "greater". However, everyone has a favourite Beatles tune, so much variety and so many to choose from!

This song is so racist.

Examples:
Bishops Gate - anti Catholic reference
Mr Kite - anti Jewish reference
Hendersons - anti Black reference
Horse - anti animal reference
Circus sounds - rasist against circus workers
Mr. H - racist against those with a H in their last name

Hmmm , I wonder if I'm reading too much into the Beatles songs?

To me, that dubious honor easily goes to "Within You Without You". This is one of my favorites from this album - I like the creepiness of it.


Couldn't disagree more. Within You Without You is not only a fantastic song - a wonderful departure, it opened so many eyes in the west to a whole different kind of music, its one of the most important songs on the album.

This is a brilliant song about the existential absurdity of existence, from the single best album of all time... this entire album is thematic, and it is as poetically profound as a play by Shakespeare...

love it...

I love this song... it is awesome...
