I do know the line "sitting on a cornflake", was a typo. He actually said 'Sitting by my cornflakes' but was miss heard by the person writing the lyrics down as he yelled them out.
Also when doing The Magical Mystery Tour, Paul would stay to confirm what was being done the next day in terms of filming. It was also the Third Time if memory serves me this is the third time he used this bass. He used it on hello goodbye and all you need if love. Some folks could have misheard him singing about "knickers" and he could have been mistaken for saying the "N" word. On The Wonder Years (original version) Winnie Cooper teased Kevin about him not knowing who the walrus was.
Somewhere I saw this sentence: "...and then on the eighth day God created the Beatles..." I also say: How lucky for us all they had such a glorious poet like John!!!
The most impressive part of the Beatles to me is being able to actually play their instruments all together so perfectly. I could make good music, but I wouldn’t be able to do anything like this live like they do in studio.
40 years ago I was in civics class. And my teacher played this. And I knew the lyrics and then music. And sang it word for word. And everyone thought I was out of my mind. Still listening to the music today
Yeah, l sing to myself. And if other people hear, the look at me like I'm out of my mind. But too many people spend their whole lives trapped in their minds, their thoughts and beliefs, their expected and required behavior patterns, and never get out. Glad I'm not one of them. It's okay to be a walrus once in a while.
After getting hold of this album in 1970 I developed a serious crush on Paul, but hadn't yet dropped acid. The four bobbies holding hands above the group, now that's psychedelic brotherhood, man! I was all over that
@@jurepotokar9068 We used to drop acid an hour before the cartoon appeared on TV. (We did the same thing for a Charlie Brown Christmas.) We must have tripped watching this a dozen times. Those were the daze!
@@MANNY11RED You are correct. I Am The Walrus, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and A Day In The Life, were all banned by the BBC. Walrus for "you've been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down" (underpants, skirt) Lucy for LSD, And Day in the Life for "We'd love to turn you on" All John Lennon lyrics and songs. They didn't ban Yesterday or All Together Now by Macca 😂
Saw them play this on Ed Sullivan show. Still a kid growing up with all the incredible musicians from every genre blowing our young minds with rebellion 😊
They were written to make no sense, except the line, "Expert, Texpert....don't you think the Joker laughs at you'. This was directed at an old Teacher of John's who had become an 'expert' at decoding Beatle's lyrics. He also had called John a Joker while a student. At the end of this on the first recording, you can hear John say, "Let the Fkers figure that one out." Now. That's Genius.

John Lennon was “musically and lyrically insane” at times and this remains one of the greatest gifts to mankind.
Smoke pot smoke pot everybody smoke pot.

Never a band like this shall pass our way again.
Sad but true
This song always makes me appreciate the Beatles more and more
George Martin.
A song that makes no sense but it still fun to listen to.
It’s about sadness and the world being mixed up, as far as I can tell.
@@spaceengineer1452 I always thought it was about the thoughts you have when you accidentally sit on a cornflake
It's about looking through life via LSD. Recommended
I love this song oct.24 2024. What a cool video.
No doubt
歌詞、メロディー、PV 全てにおいて人類の最高傑作
One of the best songs of John.
Somewhere I saw this sentence:
"...and then on the eighth day God created the Beatles..."
I also say:
How lucky for us all they had such a glorious poet like John!!!

It's amazing to think that the guys who made "She Loves You" did this too, crazy
it.will.never.age
masterpiece
Loves how Paul marking the drums entrance 0:14
And it almost looks like Ringo pointing to George?
A lot ,generations after generations Beatles music is for everyone who loves great music

The only video I can find of the actual Movie version of the song
Too bad the audio is not the actual Beatles version of the song. Sounds like the OG vocals dubbed onto a midi karaoke track.
The video is also heavily edited; it’s not the same as it is in the movie
@@Nerkin610 Apple banned another video when it see very good
After getting hold of this album in 1970 I developed a serious crush on Paul, but hadn't yet dropped acid. The four bobbies holding hands above the group, now that's psychedelic brotherhood, man! I was all over that
Still listening in 2024. Born in 1969 been listening for over 50 years. Will never stop. Peace❤
Same here. Born in 1970. Still remember when I first saw Yellow Submarine Cartoon.
@@jurepotokar9068 We used to drop acid an hour before the cartoon appeared on TV. (We did the same thing for a Charlie Brown Christmas.)
We must have tripped watching this a dozen times. Those were the daze!
Hard to believe they gave Paul's Hello Goodbye the a side and this got the b side. John was pissed!
Walrus was so much better
@@andykonrad4769 Hello goodbye was much more a number 1 pop song for the time; walrus brilliant album song
Walrus would have probably been banned from mainstream radio as it contained the word "knickers"-thereby losing singles sales!
@@MANNY11RED You are correct. I Am The Walrus, Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, and A Day In The Life, were all banned by the BBC.

@@BonesBones-qx9jdthey didn’t, stopped live performances after help until the rooftop
It was part of, "The Magical Mystery Tour" Television special which aired in 1968. Perhaps you are thinking of this.
This is my favourite song by the Beatles ❤❤❤❤❤❤
So true that the lyrics jn this song are just downright "insane". Still a classic Beatles' song to me though.
I am the walrus-that's all that needs to be said.
Sitting on a corn flake waiting for the van to come. Def some trippy lyrics
They were written to make no sense, except the line, "Expert, Texpert....don't you think the Joker laughs at you'.
This was directed at an old Teacher of John's who had become an 'expert' at decoding Beatle's lyrics. He also had called John a Joker while a student.

Now.
That's Genius.
Thank you o universe for creating The Beatles!
i didn't even KNOW this video existed... classic Beatles 😮😊❤
I'm not a Beatles fan, but I love this. Although the song has no overall meaning, individual lines had significance for Lennon.
I love this psychedelic song❤❤❤
Hear the Cover of Spooky Tooth, Georg said this is the best version of this song.
Ocultism
When i hear the beatles takes me back to my childhood, I'm now 66 great memories and great tunes of all of the bands back then. ❤
Ringo's drumming/ excellent,
I am he
As you are he
As you are me
And we are all together
See how they run,
Like pigs from a gun,
See how they fly.
I'm crying.

Waiting for the van to come.

You let your face grow long.

Rest in peace Issac usn crew who we always called "wallrus" xx
For once, John didn't have his 'granny' glasses on.
November 7 th 2024 I'm here🎉
Most random song ever but I love it. I have a little Palm Pal walrus plush because of this song
Watching the video helps ground this song John is singing to us from above for his and our entertainment! R.I.P. John Lennon
How did the BBC ever decide to air MMT in black-and-white? There lies the blunder of it all.
I have always loved this tune,,
during the filming, it would've been neat if the four Beetles had also dressed and wore the Bobby Cop Uniforms and edited that into the this vid.
Edgar: I know thee well: a serviceable villain; as duteous to the vices of thy mistress as badness would desire.
Gloucester: What, is he dead?
Edgar: Sit you down father, rest you.

👍👍
Who else listening to this banger in 2024
I’m here
They called Mr the walrus
we should kiss
I will always be here

A pop song like no other…………
did they delete this version on yt? couldnt find it
"Divertidisimo haber sido un BEATLE, Paul dandole la señal a Ringo, de que iniciara su turno"
Porqué borraron el video de la cuenta de los beatles? Es lo más random que vi a los 8 años xddd
I'm reving up the yellow submarine ❤
Nov 15 th 2024 still love it
Of all the other planets that (may) have life in this vast universe.... we were given the Beatles...so we are special afterall...
So So TRUE 😍 NATURAL Wordz

Three years later this was done late 1967 Apple concert done beginning of 1970. Their last appearance.
Best band ever
I'm pointing my bass down from now on.
it sounds like midi
AM&Amazing
What was wrong with the sound that needed a fix?
Omg my friend couldn't hear it but towards the end maybe after they sing semolina bilchard? I'm sorry I'm really not good with lyrics but at that point the rest of the song is just a little behind and it drove me crazy
Great song, wonder whos hand that is behind Ringo's head? 0:31
Quien la escucha y la ve para el 2025 ✌️✌️
the drums!!!!
HO Dorf is observing everybody! 😀😅🍀🍷
Here I am .
Who is listening in 2037?
I could be the walrus but I still have to bum rides from people
I quote John Lennon..I don’t believe in Beatles I just believe in me
What was he on when he wrote this differently fried but it still worked
i was 5 yrs old
Krazy, if you're off your head you can understand the meaning of the song, 😂
the sound was defiently not fixed
The walrus
James Hetfield must sing this because on his band do Beatles covers but now he on late 2017 he wear the Walrus mustache 😅
この曲の世界を映像化するのは
まぁ無理だと思う。ビートルズは PＶの分野でも最先端を行っていたのは本当に凄いけれど。
ラストのバスのあとを皆がぞろぞろとついていくシーンは不気味な印象があり秀逸。
