“I Am the Walrus” is a song by the Beatles that was primarily written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon-McCartney. It was released as a single on November 24, 1967, backed with the song “Hello, Goodbye,” and later included on the album “Magical Mystery Tour” in 1967.
“I Am the Walrus” is known for its cryptic and nonsensical lyrics, which were partially influenced by Lewis Carroll’s work. The song features Lennon on lead vocals, with a mixture of psychedelic and orchestral elements in the instrumentation. It also incorporates elements of various musical styles, including rock, classical, and avant-garde.
“I Am the Walrus” has been interpreted in various ways, with Lennon himself acknowledging that he deliberately included nonsensical lyrics to confound those who tried to analyze his songs. The song is considered one of the Beatles’ most experimental and enigmatic compositions, reflecting the band’s willingness to push musical boundaries and challenge traditional songwriting structures.
