On September 29, 1967, while at Abbey Road in London, The Beatles mixed John Lennon’s newly crafted song, “I Am The Walrus.” This composition featured the incorporation of the sound of a radio scanning through numerous stations, eventually settling on a BBC production of William Shakespeare’s “King Lear.” Lennon created this song by amalgamating three previously developed compositions. Upon discovering that a teacher at his former primary school had tasked students with analyzing Beatles lyrics, he introduced an additional verse composed of nonsensical words.
