我听这张CD听了无数次。太梦幻了。就上网查查这首歌的背景。果然不同凡响,是列农吃了迷幻药以后写的歌词。难怪听得我也走火入魔。I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,令人轻易想起Lewis Carroll’的The Walrus and the Carpenter.Walrus太狡猾,骗一群生蚝回家做客,结果生蚝们成了海象的美食。可怜啊。这是Alice’s adventure in Wonderland里面的一首诗。上Wikipedia一查,果然跟这老兄不无渊源。Lennon是Lewis Carroll的粉丝。我大学时候的高数老师也是Lewis Carroll的粉丝。老是跟我们说猫的笑脸。Lewis Carroll实际上是个数学家。英女王看了他的《Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland》以后,跟他说,他的下一本书,一定要看。后来Lewis送来一本数学著作。:) 高数老师说,Lewis的那本《爱丽丝漫游仙境奇遇记》其实包含了很多数学的元素。包括猫的笑脸,什么猫消失了,笑脸还在,至于牵涉到什么数学理论,我已经忘记了。
这首歌的歌词很古怪。据说当初列农中学的老师组织一帮人研究他的歌词,听到这个消息以后,列农写了这首歌。是结合了三首歌的歌词,还故意加很多无意义的词,迷惑大家。或许是为了嘲笑所谓的研究吧。呵呵,迷幻药加故意的迷惑加神秘主义加无意义的歌词,让研究的人去见鬼。
不如来听这首歌吧。
这里 有You Tube,不过不会弄到这里。看You Tube感觉更爽。
I Am the Walrus
Artist(Band):The Beatles
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I’m crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
MAN, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g’joob
Mister City P’liceman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run.
I’m crying.
I’m cry————ing, I’m crying.
Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl and you let your Knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g’joob.
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don’t come, you get a tan from
Standing in the English rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g’joob, goo goo goo g’joob.
Expert texpert choking smokers,
Don’t you think the joker laughs at you? (ho ho ho, he he he, ha ha ha)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snide.
I’m crying.
Semolina Pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen, I am the walrus,
goo goo g’joob, goo goo goo g’joob, goo goo g’joob, goo goo goo g’joob, goo goo
(rhythmical speaking along with juba’s).
Juba juba juba, juba, juba, juba, juba, juba, juba juba. Juba juba…..
(speaking)
–Repeat (eventually juba’s will stop) and fade until end.–
during the fade out background vocals:
[Simultaneously:] ‘Everybody smokes pot’ and ‘Oompa, oompa, stick it up your joompa’ [jumper]
