1. The Beatles, "I Am The Walrus" (1967)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU4uaKgCQ9A "Yellow mother custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye. Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess, Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down. I am the eggman, they are the eggmen. I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob." For a full understanding of how terrifying this song is, you should read all the lyrics (or simply give it a listen). While many people are quick to attribute this song to drugs and drugs alone, the piece has some legitimate roots in reality. Portions of it derive from a childhood rhyme known to John Lennon, others are nods to Lewis Carroll, and still others derive from fragments of three separate songs that Lennon was working on at the time. Most interestingly, John Lennon wrote this song to screw with us all: after learning that students at his former grammar school were being assigned to analyse Beatles lyrics, Lennon decided to write the most confounding song possible. All that said, "I Am The Walrus" is a product of its time, to be sure, and drugs definitely played a part in this creative process. If you need further proof, or fuel for your nightmares, watch the Magical Mystery Tour movie.
