10 Songs You Didn't Know Were About Drugs

For the first half of their career, the Beatles had been known as some of the most genuine pop stars of the 60's. After claiming rock's throne with their performance on the Ed Sullivan Show, the band's subsequent releases like a Hard Day's Night showed them to be the biggest heartthrobs in the world who any female fan wanted to bring home to their parents. Once the 60's turned a corner though, things started getting a little more interesting.

While the band had started experimenting with substances on albums like Help and Rubber Soul, Revolver showed them jumping down the rabbit hole of possibilities, where they wrote songs about everything from taxes to Eastern mysticism. Given all the heavier material, it's almost a relief when Paul McCartney's playful love song "Got To Get You Into My Life" comes on. Instead of being written towards another potential lady, McCartney has been outspoken about how he wrote the song as an ode to marijuana.

The tribute that McCartney makes in this song is as clear as day, but the beauty of the track is how open it is. With just enough details skewed, the song could be about anything from a relationship to candy to a higher power, but sometimes it just takes a little bit of the ganja leaf to spark that inspiration.
