In the 'I Am The Walrus' bit from the movie, I have no idea.

I forget where I read it, but I read somewhere where that line in Glass Onion was, well I'm sure in part to take the p*ss from those who like to look for "clues" in music for whatever reason. And also a way of saying Paul was a driving force in keeping the Beatles together at that point.

Quote
The Beatles' song "I Am the Walrus", written by John Lennon, was partly inspired by this poem. Lennon later realized that the poem was possibly an indictment of capitalism and was dismayed that he had chosen the walrus (the capitalist), who was the antagonist in Lennon's eyes.
