Alright this one got me. Wow. What the... only The Beatles. Ringo's drumming here is so crucial. And so are John's vocals and mellotron... What a fun song. They really did throw that middle finger up to those who were reading so deeply into them.

This is the movie version of the song. The Beatles added more insane goodies to the song after the simpler version got locked into the soundtrack. The version on the MMT album and the single release contain the crazy background vocals from the 'Mike Sams Singers' (arranged by George Martin) and it is this version that you need to hear... don't miss out! The Shakespear dialog on the fade out was recorded live off the radio at the time of mixing and could not be duplicated with a second take! Shows you how magical & lucky The Beatles were. Also, you mentioned you have heard 'Goo Goo Ga Joob' somewhere before. You actually heard it last week without knowing the original source; "Goo Goo Ga Joob, Mrs. Robinson'. Paul Simon included the phrase as a nod to The Beatles as 'Walrus' was in the charts when Paul Simon was writing his song! Small world, eh?

This definitely wouldn’t be considered mainstream in today’s landscape. MGMT made a song in this vein called “Alien Days”, yet most critics trashed it, because it sounded nothing like their hits. That was 2013, and nothing much has changed since then in terms of acceptance. The Beatles get a pass for their reputation, because they can do no wrong in most people’s eyes. (Which they’re right, The Beatles essentially have a perfect catalogue.) But I’ve also noticed a lot of those same people recoil when you point them to experimental psychedelic music from other artists.

Wow! One of my favourite Beatles songs from my favourite Beatles albums! When it first came out, London was a place of technicolor wonders. Hippies were everywhere, dressed like ceremonial tribesmen in crushed velvet pants, tie-dyed or Indian shirts, beads, the works. We shopped at Kensington Market - a huge department store which had been taken over by dozens of small Hippie businesses. We had the International Times and Ink, our own newspapers, and Oz magazine. British psychedelia was in full swing, and the music told us we were changing the world! This song, and the whole Magical Mystery Tour album, takes me right back to those amazing days! I'm looking forward to your reaction!

A smorgasbord of every corner of psychedelic music at the time. I wasn’t there, I’m a millennial, but I’m certainly obsessed with the music for the past 15 years now.

The most surreal song I've ever heard. I was 11 years old when the MMT album came out, and was immediately entranced by Walrus, and have been ever since. I want it played at my funeral (not kidding, it's written into my will). Because everyone who has ever known me knows I love this song.

In before the block, although this might be safe because it's not the official mix. Paul has recently been quoted saying this was his favorite songs of John's. Rick Beato also has a cool breakdown of it. It's a wild song, and the video matches it (again, not sure this is frame for frame the same thing from MMT). Paul was the director for most of the Magical Mystery Tour film, although John might have given him a dream sequence he had for this individual segment, like he did for the restaurant scene.

You heard "Coo Coo Cachoo:" (or at least published it_) 4 days ago in Mrs. Robinson. I left you a comment about it, It's all connected. Nice reaction. PS "The walrus was Paul" (Glass Onion).

It's Goo goo gajoob. Often misheard as coo coo cachoo. Even by Lee here.

@JB-Deadskins I knew that but had forgotten. No excuse for a Scouser who still owns the original 3 books of Beatles songs that I bought in Liverpool. I'm getting old! Thanks for the correction JB.

JB, Perhaps you can help me with the song lyrics on YOU WON'T SEE ME. Is it "I can't turn away" as written in books and on the internet, or is it "I get turned away" which makes more sense? It sounds more like the latter.

@@cliff481 I get turned away is what I hear. Doesn't sound anything like I can't turn away. But people on the Internet just cut and paste, so there's a lot of propagation of incorrect lyrics on songs out there. For instance, in the second verse of City of New Orleans, the Steve Goodman song that Arlo Guthrie made famous, the lyric is "pass the paper bag that holds the bottle," but some idiot posted it as "pass the paper bag but hold the bottle," so now you see that as the lyric on most sites. 🙄

@JB-Deadskins Yes, the #2 of the 3 books I have clearly reads "I can turn away* published by Northern Songs, probably written by staff after listening to it. Good conversation. Thanks for the info.

It was the beginnings of Psychedelic Rock, The Summer of Love in 1967. They had stopped touring by this time, and concentrated on exploring what they could do in the studio.

Great tune, Lee! And since you've asked, I think I gotta go with purple.

@jaylevy2108 3 ай бұрын

My favorite color is auburn... I recommend off the white album... Everybody got Something to Hide and off Let It Be- Across the Universe - The latter tune has arguably Lennon's best poetry and the first one Rocks...

FYI one of my old bands featured a Hohner Pianet T in the line up.... It's sort of a poor man's Rhodes but it's it's own thing as well.... The output is just straight 1/4 guitar jack and it takes effects really well!! Slap on a delay pedal and a wah and you can get to Mars with that thing!!!

As Everyone is saying this is not the original album Track ...... This version is second rate, compared to The Original. Even if you don't react to the original .... You do need have a listen ..... .... I really dig your reactions Cheers mate 😎

Jeff Lynne couldn't believe The Beatles had created this unique sound, driven by strings, just for one song and so created the Electric Light Orchestra with to take the sound of this one song forward; ending up working with The Threatles themselves. Oasis were signed by ALan McGee because they did a great live version of this very song. Check their wondeful live version on the BBC music show Later... with Jools Holland. The lyrics are very layered, for example Semolina Pilchard is a typical Lennon "In His Own Write" pun about Sgt Norman Pilcher of the Met Police who had decide to make his name by arresting pop stars. As usual I think the opening line is both wonderful and meaningful. "I am he, as you are me, and we are all together" McCartney thinks you cannot criticise Magical Mystery Tour the film because it contains I Am The Walrus... Thanks for the review, take care of your daughters ;)

Everyone likes to forget that Roy Wood was the original motivating force behind ELO, probably because he bailed early on, essentially after one single. The Move (including Wood and Bev Bevan) split up mainly because Roy wanted a band that could play George Martin-style arrangements live. I'm not saying Jeff Lynne was not the pivot and mainstay of the band in the long run, but Roy Wood was also a major talent as a songwriter, arranger, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer.

@@thescrewfly yep totally true about Roy Wood as you can see I typed "created the Electric Light Orchestra with..." and then Roy Wood out. I saw Jeff Lynne in The Idle Race in 1968 and they weren't as special as The Move. I bought the ELO first album having been knocked out by 10538 Orchestra. Roy Wood was perhaps too multi-talented and willing to try multiple formats, whereas Lynne was more driven and out for success. I always loved their California Man performance on Top of The Pops, produced at the same time as recording that first ELO album kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qaiojbFo07CxdaM.html

Do not watch the video. It's kind of an incomplete version.

The movie was made by the BBC as a series of songs linked together by people on a 'Magical Mystery Tour' in a coach. It was first shown in black and white the day after Xmas 1967 at prime time on the BBC's main channel - yeh The Beatles were REALLY big at the time. It was shown again on the only colour channel available 12 days later. The audio is a remix from the master tapes. I prefer the original mix. Also in 1967 there were enough communications satellites up to do a round the world TV broadcast ('Our World'). The UK contribution to this was The Beatles recording another song from the album, All You Need Is Love.
