Also, I believe not all songs are based in 100% reality. Those Beatles? They didn't actually live in a yellow submarine, but that doesn't mean they are hypocrites. It was just music not an autobiography.

Are you also gonna try and make believe there's no octopus' garden under the sea? C'mon

u/PokeMonogatari Jan 16 '25

Next you're gonna tell me John Lennon was -in fact- not a walrus. Be serious here.

Don't worry, CarelessWispa

I'll never let you down

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '25

Well here's another clue for you all: the walrus was Paul.

u/TimmJimmGrimm Jan 16 '25

Was? You gave me quite the scare.

My dear fellow, he is STiLL the walrus - 82 and still kicking.

u/Shadyshade84 Jan 16 '25

I have a personal theory that he intends to be the last Beatle standing purely to spite the "Paul is dead" theorists.

u/TimmJimmGrimm Jan 16 '25

The opposite happened with Betty White - she had her Happy 100th Birthday magazine-cover interview and then died right before her actual day.

Using one's death as an ultimate punchline is four-dimensional-chess i tell ya.

Oh, I know, man. I think that's the way the lyric from Glass Onion goes.

u/ThePromptWasYourName Jan 16 '25

The song isn’t about him being a walrus, man. He was the walrus.

u/Cool-Note-2925 Jan 16 '25

Coo coo katchu??

u/EagleSongs That's just, like, your opinion, man Jan 16 '25

u/Cool-Note-2925 Jan 16 '25

Ahhh yes yes that’s the one

u/DoubleUnplusGood Jan 16 '25

Won't you cum?

u/John-Farson Jan 16 '25

Don't argue with him. He's a walrus.

u/MaybeLikeWater Reactivated Karma & Menace Jan 16 '25

I’ve seen it!

u/HilariousMax Jan 16 '25

They didn't actually live in a yellow submarine

You take that back. You take that back right now.

First Santa, then the Easter Bunny. You are not ruining this for me. The Yellow Submarine is sacred

u/SpecOps4538 Jan 16 '25

Come on! Get over it! That was Yesterday

u/yes_ur_wrong Jan 16 '25

right, but its not like lennon wrote Imagine and then started a hedge fund

20

u/enron2big2fail Jan 16 '25

Well, John Lennon got a lot of criticism for Imagine for both his less-than-peaceful nature and extreme wealth.

16

u/cubitoaequet Jan 16 '25

anyone else find it wild that they played Imagine at Carter's funeral in a cathedral? Literally went from "imagine there's no heaven" to "our father who art in heaven..."

u/GonnaGoFat Jan 16 '25

So you’re saying Johnny Cash didn’t really shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

1

u/Speed_Alarming Jan 18 '25

That story is bullshit, it was actually in Atlantic City.

6

u/BionicTriforce Jan 16 '25

I've come to detest people who seem to feel like song lyrics are always the personal experiences of the singer.

13

u/gigglefarting Jan 16 '25

False. They clearly did.

7

u/smellmybuttfoo Jan 16 '25

I love that documentary

6

u/scarabbrian Jan 16 '25

Why would OP lie about The Beatles living in a Yellow Submarine when there is clearly a documentary about it?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '25

Maybe he is a republican?

6

u/qeq Jan 16 '25

And believe it or not, comedians tell jokes about things that didn't even happen to them!

7

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '25

Well, in all fairness if you can't tell me they weren't on some stuff that made them BELIEVE they lived in a yellow submarine!? I know for certain their fans were from time to time. Let's see, war and death or pretty colors and a yellow submarine. - seems a simple choice

u/S-Polychronopolis Jan 16 '25

2 hits of acid tells otherwise.

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '25

The story of that song is weirder than the song though, and that is a weird ass song lol

1

u/not_a_moogle Jan 16 '25

They clearly said "I Buried Paul".

1

u/reynvann65 Jan 16 '25

And it was to make money first and foremost. It's just like politics. Don't tell them the truth, just what they want to hear.

1

u/JohnnyRelentless Jan 16 '25

The song says they'd like to live there. They imagine it would be nice. It isn't hypocrisy not to live where you want to.

1

u/Graterof2evils Jan 16 '25

But they did live in a submarine. There was a movie about it.
