La canción I Am the Walrus de The Beatles fue escrita por John Lennon, inspirada por el verso sin sentido de Lewis Carroll y rumores de que los estudiantes estaban analizando las letras de los Beatles para encontrar significados ocultos. Lennon quería crear una letra que desafiara esas interpretaciones.
