My favourite song on the Yellow Submarine album that isn't on another major album. :) I love the riff and how it builds up at the beginning and the chorus. Great song. |

I've always really liked this song, one of my favourite Beatles songs. Here's my interpretation - it's just about a guy, living his life, he does drugs (which is what it sounds like to me when the orchestra plays), and he's crushing on a girl who's out of his league ("I'd love to turn you on"). I dunno, maybe it's crazy. |

I actually think this is a lovely way to end the album. I agree with an earlier comment, to end the album with "The End" is too predictable, and I love how after the humongous marvelous medley, there's just a sweet little song that for me, is what the Beatles were really about. |

| The Beatles – Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey Lyrics
| 15 years ago

"That was just a sort of nice line that I made into a song. It was about me and Yoko. Everybody seemed to be paranoid except for us two, who were in the glow of love. Everything is clear and open when you're in love. Everybody was sort of tense around us: You know, 'What is she doing here at the session? Why is she with him?' All this sort of madness is going on around us because we just happened to want to be together all the time." - John Lennon
Basically the song is about how John felt that everyone was so nervous, except for him and Yoko because they were so in love. George Harrison also believed the "monkey" part was a reference to John's heroin habit, so there's definitely a heroin influence. "Oh, the deeper you go the higher you fly, the higher you fly the deeper you go" - definitely sounds like a drug reference to me. |
