Where the beatles high when they wrote you are the walrus?

Answer 1

The song is called 'I Am The Walrus' and all of The Beatles did not write it, John Lennon did (credited to Lennon-McCartney). Actually, it was written by John after receiving a letter from a pupil from the high school he attended. The writer told him that their English teacher was making his class analyse Beatle lyrics, and John was amused so he wrote the most confusing lyrics he could think of, hence I Am The Walrus.

Answer 2

Not exactly. John Lennon wrote 'I am the Walrus' after hearing that there were schools with classes specifically for trying to figure out the meaning of The Beatles lyrics. He wrote I am the Walrus as an attempt to mess with all the people analyzing his lyrics. Some of the lines in the song were written during one of his acid trips, but not the entire song. The song is actually 3 unfinished songs written by John combined into one. Most of the song is complete nonsense.

When asked about the song by his childhood friend Pete Shotton, he responded with "Let the f*ckers work that one out"

The Walrus mentioned in the song comes from Lewis Carroll's poem 'The Walrus and the Carpenter'
