Come Together: The Most Confusing Song Ever!

[SSJPhenom]

Everyone knows Come Together by the Beatles. It was one of their most popular hits. It has one of the best beats and guitar riffs and grooves you'll ever hear in any music. It's one hell of a song. Having said that, it's the most confusing song I've ever heard. I remember when I was a kid, I loved this song (partly because Michael Jackson remade it for the Moonwalker film but still) and when I'd listen to it, I never got how confusing it was. One day, though, I started to sing along and then I just got confused. For those that don't know, these are the lyrics to the song:

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
(Right!
Come, oh, come, come, come.)

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
Oh
Come together
Yeah, come together
Yeah, come together
Yeah, come together
Yeah, come together
Yeah, come together
Yeah, come together
Yeah, oh
Come together
Yeah, come together

Ok, what!?!?

Does anybody have any idea what this song is about or what it means? Not some online theory you got from Google but your own idea. Let me know your opinions.

Popular internet theory is that its about band members or some campaign slogan John was asked to write. If you ask me, the way I read the book that some writer that got to tour with them wrote, I think that was released in 1969. According to the author of that book, by that time they were so high on drugs that they hardly made any sense. So, its just probably some trip in Johns head.

 

[George Steele's Barber]

John, Paul, and George (not their birth names) were the teenage sons of American scientists in the year 2578. They came upon their fathers' plans to time travel. They researched history with the intent of time travelling to the past and becoming rock stars. They found John's doppleganger in Liverpool in the 1950's, the real John Lennon. "John", "Paul", and "George" went back in time, murdered the real John and "John" assumed his identity as a member of The Quarrymen. "Paul" and "George " would later join the band. Pete Best almost figured out the truth and he ended up getting replaced by Ringo. The band spent years recording songs they remembered learning about from the more than 600 years of recorded Rock n Roll.

This just happened to be a certain song where they could not remember all the lyrics so they just decided to say "fuck it" and record something weird.

As a side note, George's death was from the radiation poison he took on during time travel and this proves that Back to the Future time travel is bullshit.

There's lots of fun "gee whiz!" info at this link.

Beyond all the historic info shared in that link, I've always believed that the weirdness of John's writing comes from an adoration of Lewis Carroll and a hatred for people who try to break down song meanings. It's my understanding that John would have a basic idea for what his song is about, and then just add random nonsense throughout to throw off people who are trying to undermine his writing by analyzing it.

The chorus seems like some sort of wish to partake in *******

Another challenge, try to write a song after doing LSD. (Kidding, don't try it) and the result would be much the same.
