10 Classic Rock Songs That Mean Absolutely Nothing

In the early days of the Beatles, John Lennon was a troll before trolls were even a thing. Long before the days of the Internet and punks trying to be funny, Lennon was always the trickster looking to stir up some shenanigans in the world of the Fab Four just for the hell of it. So when he saw some teachers that tried to look a little too much into Beatles lyrics, he had his golden opportunity.

Writing the first handful of lyrics while on an acid trip, I Am the Walrus ballooned into one of the most surreal pieces of art that the rock world has ever seen. Taking the book The Walrus and the Carpenter as a starting point, this is the most absurd rock song the Beatles would ever make and it's damn proud of it, with Lennon talking about sitting on a cornflake to eventually making references to Semolina Pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower and penguins harassing Edgar Allen Poe.

He knew exactly what he was doing too, almost presenting the lyrics boastfully to the band and telling them "let the f*ckers figure that one out." With over half a century since it was first released on the public, chances are that we will never make sense of this. Either this is complete nonsense, or (with some chemical assistance) this song somehow contains the meaning of life.
