So many conspiracy theories were hatched from this song. Probably one of the strangest songs of the 60s

After realising the bad guy in Lewis Carrol's poem the Walrus and the Carpenter was actually the Walrus, Lennon was a bit miffed singing I am the Walrus.

“I can’t sing I am the carpenter…woooh”. So Paul became the Walrus lateron in Glass Onion.
