I Am the Walrus by The Beatles

I am the walrus from Macarena Cabrera / Guindadesign on Vimeo.

Fans across decades and generations (including myself) have all wondered at one time or another of one of The Beatles' trippiest songs, "Who is the walrus? Who is the egg man (coo-coo-ca-choo)?" Well, according to John Lennon, "the words don't mean a lot." Which is partially unfortunate, but also partially amazing because it means that listeners get to make up their own meaning. It might not be "inspired by" Shakespeare per se, but if you listen closely to the end of the song you can hear a snippet of a BBC broadcast of King Lear, which Lennon heard while he was working on the song.
