I am the eggman? I am the walrus...

We were listening to the Beatles the other day when "I Am the Walrus" comes on. My daughter Dearra says, "Mom were they on drugs when they wrote that?" I said, "yep, so the rumor goes!" Pretty smart of her to figure that out without anybody telling her. I guess those are up there with some of the weirdest song lyrics. Can anybody think of any others?

reminds me of the song that Willy Wonka sang (original movie with Gene Wilder) as they were going through the tunnel...
Round the world and home again
That's the sailor's way
Faster faster, faster faster
There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There's no knowing where we're rowing
Or which way the river's flowing
Is it raining, is it snowing
Is a hurricane a-blowing
Not a speck of light is showing
So the danger must be growing
Are the fires of Hell a-glowing
Is the grisly reaper mowing
Yes, the danger must be growing
For the rowers keep on rowing
And they're certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing

blame Roald Dahl for that one, iirc at least part of that song's in the origanal book of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

it has been way too many years since I have read that book, maybe that will be this weekends sneaky pleasure!
