https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9aIwm9mXuM Believe it or not, "Come Together" isn't the biggest bunch of nonsense the Beatles ever wrote. No, that honor belongs to a song that sparked endless debate about its meaning, the kind of debate that John Lennon was openly mocking in the song itself. Although the nugget of an idea came from the Lewis Carroll book The Walrus and the Carpenter, there was no real significance to anything being said on the lyrics, as they were the result of an acid trip and a loose collection of rhyming words. Lennon wanted to craft something intentionally vague, so that scholars who spent their days trying to dissect songs like "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" would hopefully be driven mad. He threw in some references to Hare Krishna and paraphrased parts of an old nursery rhyme (the "yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye" line, in particular), but none of it was supposed to connect together. In a 1980 interview with Playboy, Lennon went so far as to openly call the song "nonsense," stating that he copped Bob Dylan's nebulous style of songwriting (which Lennon equated to "getting away with murder"), to prove that he could "write that crap, too."
