what are your theories on the lyrical meaning? there is some discussion that it referred to the fact he was Jewish. also theorizing that his eyes were dilated on lsd, when he used to be straight square. interesting discussion

I like Aerosmith's version but I think in this case the Beatles win by a hair. I'm a huge Aerosmith fan and not really a Beatles fan but in this case there's just something about the original.

I'll go line by line with what I've heard it means, later. It's an awesome song. But right now I'm driving... makes it hard to type much.

I made it half way through this video and all I keep thinking is the 80's really sucked. Hairstyles and clothes were awful. But the 80's were good for Micheal, still looked human at this point.

sad, the guy was a freak of an entertainer - not even a major Michael Jackson fan but as an all round showman, the best of all time.
too bad he was such a mess psychologically.

I'm sure he did this when he owned The Beatles catalog & didn't have to pay royalties, LOL!

OK, the meaning of the lyrics are actually quite clear and relevant if you know some history about the Beatles and are somewhat familiar with the idioms and slang of the era: 1st verse: "HERE COME OL' FLAT-TOP, HE COME GROOVIN' UP SLOWLY. HE GOT HAIR DOWN TO HIS KNEE, GOT TO BE A JOKER HE JUST DO WHAT HE PLEASE." This verse references Ringo. "Flat-Top" makes reference to Ringo's bluesy musical roots and the disparaging stereotype that was often applied to those that played that style of music. "Groovin' up slowly" refers to the fact that Ringo was the last to join the final and 'official' line-up of the band, yet his drumming ability was very limited and borderline acceptable at the beginning, especially compared to the abilities of the rest of the band. As he honed his skill, he slowly became better and better at holding down the beat of the music, or 'groove' as it was also loosely referred to. As the group continued to record and release music, his talent slowly came up to the standards of the other three. "He got hair down to his knee" simply refers to the fact that Ringo had a longer, shaggy hairstyle when he joined the band, while the other three had the short, close-cropped style favored by the 'mods' of the day. "Got to be a joker he just do what he please" is obvious: Ringo was the funny one, the 'cut-up' of the group and he often said and did bizzarre and unexpected things in formal situations the group found themselves in during the early years. His enthusiastic, upbeat attitude was a major influence of the early writings of John and Paul. Verse #2: "HE WEAR NO SHOE-SHINE, HE GOT TOE-JAM FOOTBALL. HE GOT MONKEY-FINGER, HE SHOOT COCA-COLA. HE SAY I KNOW YOU, YOU KNOW ME. ONE THING I CAN TELL YOU IS YOU GOT TO BE FREE. The subject of this verse is George. "He wear no shoe-shine" is a reference to going to bare-foot, a quite-common state of dress that George adopted once he became so enamored of the Indian Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Bare feet and simple robes were the accepted dress of the followers of the Yogi, and George's influence quickly spread to the other three Beatles. Toe-Jam football is just a reference to bare-foot 'soccer' style football playing, the common social outdoor activity practiced by many while worshipping at the yogi's temple. "Monkey-Finger" refers to George's manual dexterity and amazing abilty to master many, many different styles of stringed intruments, notably the 'sitar', an almost unknown instrument at the time that he was introduced to and quickly learned how to play while worshipping at the yogi's temple. "He shoot coca-cola" is obvious: 'coca-cola' is street-slang for cocaine, a drug that George, as well as the others, would often 'shoot up' directly into their veins. "I know you, you know me...we got to be free" is simply the basic premise of the entire teachings of the Yogi, that George was so whole-heartadly promoting to his fellow bandmates. "COME TOGETHER RIGHT NOW...OVER ME" refers to the message the Yogi deleivered to the band asa group that would supposedly heal the growing rift and dissention between the four members of the band and unite them as a single cohesive unit once again. Verse #3: "HE BAD (NOT 'BAG') PRODUCTION, HE GOT WALRUS GUM-BOOT. HE GOT ONO SIDEBOARD, HE ONE SPINAL CRACKER, HE GOT FEET DOWN BELOW HIS KNEE, HOLD YOU IN HIS ARMCHAIR YOU CAN FEEL HIS DISEASE. No questions about this one, it's about John all the way: "Bad production" refers to John's increasing level of drug use and the negative effect it had on his abilty to effectivly create acceptable music with the rest of the band, and to function with the rest of the band. John was the 'Walrus' referred to in the 'I am the Walrus; lyrics', clearly this refers to him.(notwithstanding the later lyric 'the walrus was Paul' from "Glass onion") A 'sideboard' is the term used when attorneys would be called away from a trial during court for private discussion. "Ono sideboard" makes refernce to the growing distraction that the rest of the band felt Yoko Ono was having on John. John's increasing uncooperative attitude towards the professional and musical direction the rest of the band wanted to follow manifested itself in John constantly griping and complaining to the others, or in slang terms "breaking thier backs", a term referenced with 'spinal cracker'. "Feet down below his knee" also makes refernce to his stubborn, uncompromising desire to do things his way only with little or no regard for the rest of the band's wishes. To give in was to be seen as being on 'your knees', but John had 'feet below his knees', so there was no way he was going to kneel(stand on his knees) and be subserviant when he could 'stand on his feet' and be the decison-maker. "Hold you in his armchair (possibly..."arms, yeah...) you can feel his disease" refers to the fact that John's tough exterior persona barely fooled anyone, as his self-loathing and self-doubt, fueled and magnified by increasingly excessive drug use began to consume him. To be close to , or to 'hold him in your arm...' was to know the real John, where one could 'feel his disease'. Verse #4: "HE ROLLER COASTER, HE GOT EARLY WARNING. HE GOT MUDDY WATER, HE ONE MOJO FILTER. HE SAY ONE AND ONE AND ONE IS THREE GOT TO BE GOOD LOOKING 'CAUSE HE'S SO HARD TO SEE" Well, last of the four is Paul, and this is clearly all about Paul. 'Roller coaster' refers to Paul's aggravating habit to the rest of the band by constantly changing his stated desire to either break up and move on to a solo career or to remain as a band and contue on as the 'Beatles'. 'Early warning' makes reference to the fact that they all made it clear to Paul long before that his selfish, superior attitide was going to create a rift between them and in fact it finally did. 'Muddy water' describes the bad feelings and growing poor relationship between Paul and the rest of the band due to his constant lying and manipulation of them, and particularly about his attempts to convince the others to let his father-in-law manage the band as opposed to the choice the others made. 'Mojo filter' refers to Paul's habit of 'spin doctoring' information to the others and manipulating thier perceptions so as to ultimately get his way. 'One and one and one is three' refers to Paul's attempts to try and convince the others that if he did indeed leave the band and start a solo career, they remaining three could carry on and continue to be 'the Beatles' without him, contray to everyone else's opinion. 'Got to be good looking...': a straightforward reference to the fact that he was typically considered the 'cute, good looking one' of the group. '...so hard to see' desribes the increasing time away from the rest of the band that Paul was spending on persoanl projects, to the detriment of any possible group projects. |

Joo joo eyeball (singular) along with Holy Roller undoubtedly refers to spirituality. His "third eye" must have been something the writer respected. I'm sure you've heard the term "holy roller" before. That's commonly applied to charismatic Christians.

Again where did you say you read it from the site?? Did you give the site credit for what you "believe"? Read could be simply reading the lyrics of the song. You're a fucking loser that has ZERO thought process. You believe what you're told. Hence why you're a brainwashed piece of shit.

The copy/paste was the comment of a user. The site doesn't deserve credit for that user's comment, and quoting a nickname doesn't make much sense, either. Truth is, your initial impression was that I was taking credit for this. When I pointed out that I wasn't you needed to find a way to back pedal. Tasty foot? Garlic would probably spice it up. |

And by the way, I didn't find it on the site you mentioned. It was on another. The same interpretations were pasted on numerous sites, none of which deserve credit for the original post, wherever it might have been. And since it was some person posting behind a nickname, who knows who actually said it. Who, exactly, should be quoted in your opinion?

I have no idea who you are. I can't see a sig because I'm on my iPhone. All I know is that your nick here is Bryan G and you made an assumption about me that turned out to be wrong, so you then needed some way to save face, which led to your ridiculous rants on posting links to comments made by some anonymous user from one of dozens of different sites that have the same information. |
