Ok, so...Rocky Raccoon is of course set in the old west and stuff like that. But I've heard MANY things of what it symbolizes. Like a Christian group was protesting the Beatles or stuff like the prediction of John Lennon's death.
Is this song just about what the lyrics say? Or something more?What is the song ';Rocky Raccoon'; by the Beatles REALLY about?
Like you said, it's about a cowboy.
Don't analyze I am the walrus. John wrote it that way on purpose.What is the song ';Rocky Raccoon'; by the Beatles REALLY about?
';Paul. Couldn't you guess it? Would I go to all that trouble about Gideon's Bible and all that stuff?'; -John Lennon, 1980
It's just another of Paul's little off-beat quirky songs.
The song very well could have been a metaphor to prove some deeper point, but as far as I can tell, it is just a silly, offbeat song about the spiritual revival of a racoon.
