"I know you, you know me, one thing I can tell you is you gotta be free

Come together, right now, over me." Ah, what a glorious song. In my opinion, it is one of the most confusing Beatles' songs, right after "I am the Walrus." Shall we take a dance back in time a see the lyrics. I say yes.

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me

Ah what a fun song that I don't understand. And let me tell you, the little beginning thing (that I imagine if I wrote out would look like "Shhhhum-dum dugga-duuuummmm dummmm, Shhhhum-dum dugga-duuuummmm dummmm") Is terribly catchy, don't get me started on the guitar solo. Ah John, Paul, George, and Ringo, how you have done the world good. Imagine the things we wouldn't have without the Beatles. I'd give you examples but I'm too lazy to think of them so how about you just imagine them yourselves. Anyway, that's not what I came here to talk to you about, That's just the song that happened to be playing when I started writing. I actually have no idea what I was going to write about, so instead, I give you an assignment to listen to "Come Together" by the Beatles, not by Aerosmith, although that one's good too, I prefer the Beatles. So go, listen, wonder, and enjoy.
