They might be the biggest band ever, but that doesn\u2019t mean they didn\u2019t have their strange moments. Here are some of the weirdest song titles in The Beatles<\/a>\u2018 catalog.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody\u2019s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey\u201d<\/p>\n

The title of this one is definitely strange at first glance, but in reality, it\u2019s actually a pretty sweet song. Lennon had Yoko Ono in mind when he wrote this song.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was just a sort of nice line that I made into a song. It was about me and Yoko,\u201d Lennon told David Sheff<\/a>. \u201cEverybody seemed to be paranoid except for us two, who were in the glow of love. Everything is clear and open when you\u2019re in love. Everybody was sort of tense around us: you know, \u2018What is\u00a0she\u00a0doing here at the session? Why is she with him?\u2019 All this sort of madness is going on around us because we just happened to want to be together all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy Don\u2019t We Do It in the Road?\u201d<\/p>\n

To put it simply, The White Album\u2018s \u201cWhy Don\u2019t We Do It in the Road?\u201d is about sexual relations and how humans go about, well, \u201cdoing it\u201d differently compared to other species. McCartney was inspired by some monkeys he saw while on a retreat in India when he came up with the idea for this one.<\/p>\n

\u201cA male [monkey] just hopped on the back of this female and gave her one, as they say in the\u00a0vernacular,\u201d he explained to Barry Miles<\/a>. \u201cWithin two or three seconds he hopped off again and looked around as if to say \u2018It wasn\u2019t me!\u2019 and she looked around as if there\u2019d been some mild disturbance\u2026 And I thought\u2026 that\u2019s how simple the act of procreation is\u2026 We have horrendous problems with it, and yet animals don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI Am The Walrus\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s kind of impossible not to be at a loss with this song, but it is impossible to figure out what \u201cI Am A Walrus\u201d is actually about. Between the \u201csitting on a corn flake\u201d and the \u201cegg man\u201d line, this track from the Magical Mystery Tour is definitely a cause for confusion. As Lennon once shared, though, he took inspiration from an outside source when writing this one.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s from \u2018The Walrus and the Carpenter.\u2019 \u2018Alice in Wonderland.\u2019 To me, it was a beautiful poem,\u201d Lennon told Playboy<\/a>. \u201cIt never dawned on me that Lewis Carroll was commenting on the capitalist and social system. I never went into that bit about what he really meant, like people are doing with the Beatles\u2019 work. Later, I went back and looked at it and realized that the walrus was the bad guy in the story and the carpenter was the good guy. I thought, Oh, shit, I picked the wrong guy. I should have said, \u2018I am the carpenter.\u2019 But that wouldn\u2019t have been the same, would it? (singing) \u2018I am the carpenter\u2026.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
