Title: George's Romantic Side On Songs
Post by: becky on January 21, 2006, 06:31:56 PM
I think that George had a romantic side of him when he wrote his songs. Here's a few that I think are very romantic songs that George wrote:

Your Love Is Forever
That Is All
Dark Sweet Lady
Never Get Over You
Don't Let Me Wait Too Long
Learning How To Love You
True Love

He did not write True Love by the way, but it's true George wrote some great love songs. Pattie was a good muse to him and Olivia might have touched a string as well. But Something is of course one of the greatest love songs of all times.

It's not regarded by the world as the greatest love song, but for me the melody, slide, lyrics, vocals and production on the whole are beautiful. It's relatively unknown also, which is also good.

This is excellent detective work, Hello Goodbye. The evidence was before us all the time.

After all, George sang:

My, my, my lord (hare krishna)

hare = another name for "rabbit"

But there are yet some more clues.  

The Oranges' Rabbit songs are produced by George Harrison, Dhani Harrison and Jeff Lynne.
(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000HOJCVW.01._AA192_)

Jenny Lewis and The Watson Twins' album called "Rabbit Fur Coat" includes their cover of "Handle With Care," written by Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty ... The Traveling Wilburys.

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c9/Jennylewisrabbitfurcoat.jpg)

The evidence continues to mount.
Title: Re: Was George A Rabbit?
Post by: harihead on January 23, 2007, 02:23:31 AM
 :o

Excellent work, Hello Goodbye! The evidence is accumulating rapidly. Just a few more posts, and we'll have proven to the world that George Harrison was not merely the lead guitarist for the Beatles, but an actual rabbit, with habbits and affinities consistent with Oryctolagus cuniculus... er, rabbits.

I've been doing a little more research as well. Take this piece of telling evidence: the Playboy interview with The Beatles published in February 1965. In it, George states, "There's no real fun in a Bunny's fluffy tail."

How would he know that?

None of the Beatles hung out at the Playboy club. They considered that beneath them, an activity (to quote Ringo) "for dirty old men, not for the likes of us." How then does George come by this special insight into a Bunny's tail being no fun?

The only answer is... he had one.

Yes, as a rabbit he would have had to suffer the indignity of a bunny's fluffy tail. I submit for further evidence this George quote:

"I don't wear small shoes, or tight pants that squash your b***s."

Let's examine this statement in light of these recently unearthed facts.

"I don't wear small shoes..." What is he trying to tell us here? Why pick out shoes so specifically? In all the animal kingdom, what particular animal has the most urgent need for large shoes?

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/footlength.jpg)

I leave it to you to determine.  

As to the second part of the statement ("tight pants"), we know this was wishful thinking, because George did in fact wear tight trousers on many occasions. (I will spare you the details; just click on any George picture thread.) Now, the fact is that these trousers would be tight in front and in back. In short, I believe they put pressure on the bunny tail.

Chilling example: poor George is hoisted aloft at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go club following the Jane Masfield drink-throwing incident. You can almost feel the pressure on that poor bunny tail.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/georgetail.jpg)

IMHO I believe that George was speaking from experience, but obliquely, as the Beatles often did. I believe he would be relieved that we fans picked up on these clues, and followed them through to the truth. No man is an island-- but he may be a rabbit. And I think we should accept and love him all the more for this startling revelation.
Title: Re: Was George A Rabbit?

Very nice work too, harihead.  Your deductions follow precise geometric logic.

Here's another clue:

(http://www.unionsquaremusic.co.uk/covers/large/METRCD052.jpg)

(http://www.stevesbeatles.com/cds/album-covers/magical_mystery_tour.jpg)

The only animal common to both album covers is the rabbit who we know to be George.
Title: Re: Was George A Rabbit?
Post by: harihead on January 23, 2007, 07:20:23 AM
Wow, the subtleties of this amaze me.

For example, in the Jive Bunny cover art, they tried to fool us by putting the bunny in the John Lennon position. But we know the rabbit always wears a white suit. Proof:

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/bangladesh.jpg)

Generally, George was very coy about flaunting his rabbitness on his covers, but I believe this cover gives him away. Note that he is positioned in front of the car, calling attention to the plight of his fellow rabbits which too often end up as road kill. George may be subtle, but his social conscience was always active.

Good catch, Hello Goodbye! We are certainly sewing this case up.
 

More hard rabbit facts:

1. George was a vegetarian.

2. George was fleet of foot.

3. Ever since he was a lad, he loved gardens and digging in the dirt.

Say no more!!!

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/rabbitrun.jpg)

(humming) "Here goes Georgie Cottontail, running down the bunny trail..."


Beatles lyrics

The other Beatles also appear to have been at pains to inform us (craftily) about George's true nature. I put in very little thought (trust me) to come up with two glaring examples:

1. Fixing a Hole: One of John's favorite books was Alice in Wonderland. Right in Chapter 1 she goes "Down the Rabbit Hole" and meets the White Rabbit.  :o (see photos above).

By "fixing the hole" the Beatles are attempting to redirect the world away from stumbling upon the truth about their friend.


2. Rocky Raccoon:

-- The title features a four-legged furry animal whose name begins with "r"

-- "Rocky" was the name of George's guitar-- could Paul be any more obvious?  

Again, this song is clearly designed to protect their friend. Paul musically expresses his fears of George being hunted down and turned into wabbit soup.


I'm sure there are many more examples.

I've been thinking about this a lot today. And I thought there had to be clues in George's songs. I found this in Within You Without You:

We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-


Obviously, they're trying to hide the animal...
Title: Re: Was George A Rabbit?
Post by: harihead on January 23, 2007, 09:43:51 PM
That's a pretty good clue, Bobber! Subtle, but I'd expect that from George.


Here is some photographic evidence that your clue is on track.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/georgecat.jpg)

First, George is trying his best to hold the cat there, as it says in the song.

Second, his arm is partly hiding the animal.

Third, the cat appears to be licking or biting him. Why would George's own cat want to eat him? Because he's a rabbit!

PROVED AND PROVED TO THE NINETEENTH POWER!
Title: Re: Was George A Rabbit?
Post by: Hello Goodbye on January 23, 2007, 10:07:26 PM
Further proof indeed!

I'd like to add this never-before-seen photograph of Ringo and Pattie between takes while filming A Hard Day's Night.  Ringo advises Pattie to wear the rabbit fur collared coat in order to attract shy George's attention.

(http://home.att.net/~thorobred7/Hard_Days_Night_3.jpg)


The scheme proved to be highly effective.

Raxo, interesting pictures about the traditional and historical tendencies of rabbits to blow horns. This is a particularly good clue, because everyone knows that Paul was the only Beatle who ever played a trumpet. Yet George is doing so in these pictures-- why?

Also, the other Beatles are in disguise. These are not very good disguises, but then, George isn't disguised much either; his rabbitness is only obscurred by the ready-made image of the Beatles. What they are saying to us is, "You don't really have to look very deep. The truth is there for you to see if you look."

John: Remove your goggles, and you will see he is a rabbit.

Ringo: Take the boot from your head and you will hear he is a rabbit.

Paul: I want my trumpet back.

John is only playing that horn because the director made him. He's not even touching his lips to it, really-- he's faking!  ;D

But... I have some earth-shattering news.

I just uncovered yet another startling clue!  :o

I have been reading Simon Leng's excellent book While My Guitar Gently Weeps: the Music of George Harrison. This is a fabulous book--insightful, well researched, and unbelievably well written. Leng goes through all of George's music from before the Beatles until the end of his career.

Here is what Leng has to say about George's later career:

Quote from: Leng
The only new Harrison composition written and released between 1992 and 2001 was a ditty for a children's cartoon series about a troupe of cricket-playing rabbits: The Bunbury Tails.
:o

I think this piece of evidence stands on its own. ;)

Watch out, Sandra and Adamzero. You're playing with dynamite. To quote Tim, "That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!" George will get you all "with nasty, big, pointy teeth!"

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/weregeorge0.jpg)


But is George actually a were-rabbit as Adamzero proposes? Such a thing might explain why George's rabbitness is so often overlooked by the general public. Let's investigate.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/weregeorge1.jpg)

No, not much similarity there. Let's go in for a close-up:

I never knew we wore rabbit fur on his wedding! I kind of thought he would be against fur like that (though he did wear fur on the rooftop gig I suppose) but all his respect for life and stuff in his beliefs. Oh well, maybe it was only ever paul who was anti-fur. Good going, Paul!

Hi, Tangerine! Welcome to the scholarly section of the message board.  ;) ;D

Yes, that is fur he's wearing. He married Patti in '66, and didn't get religion until '67. At that point he became non-meat-eating for the rest of his life, I believe. And I think it's the same coat he's wearing on the rooftop show. Say what you may, fur is warm, and he already had the coat. :) Cheers.

Post by: harihead on January 27, 2007, 07:07:32 PM
Hold onto your hats, campers! More startling evidence of George's rabbitness has just come to light.

While reviewing (for scholarly purposes) the video "This Song", I found more incontrovertible evidence of George's true nature. It's quite easy to miss on the first pass, but on reviewing this vid I was suddenly riveted by a pair of bunny ears flopping around in the background, and had to investigate further. A freeze-frame analysis reveals the pain and burden that George feels about his undeniable rabbity essence.

In this first pic, we see George literally chained to an overpowering presence. It is easy to take this image at face value, but the specter of rabbithood looming in the background puts the lie to such a simplistic interpretation.

The rabbit is easy to miss at the back of the crowd, but he dominates the path that George must tread (more on this later). The rabbit is wearing clothes that uncannily match the policeman's uniform--white on top, darker clothes beneath. Through this visual reinforcement, George is trying to tell us that the thing he is chained to is not really the long arm of the law, but his inescapable rabbithood.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/chained.jpg)

Furthermore, on the Beatles very first album, George sings "Chains". This song choice shows how, even back at the beginning, George felt trapped by his rabbit nature. The following lyrics are particularly telling:

Chains, well I can't break away from these chains
Can't run around
'cause I'm not free


We have already established that George is fleet of foot. Why can't he run? Why does he literally stumble in this video? Because he is chained to his bunny nature, irrevocably linked.

In this next frame, we see George blatantly surrendering to the reality of the situation. He is dragged forcibly off to face his rabbitness, which has been lurking in the background all the time.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/dragged.jpg)

I understand these revelations are sometimes difficult to accept, but it is clear that George has been working out the relationship to his rabbitness for some time. It is a comfort to know that he had many friends who rallied to his side to offer their support. Bless you, George!

For example, in the Jive Bunny cover art, they tried to fool us by putting the bunny in the John Lennon position. But we know the rabbit always wears a white suit. Proof:

This is a very important field of research, Adamzero. I wish I had time to follow it up, but I'm going out of town for 3 weeks and have no time. I look forward to finding if any other clues have come up in my absence. Cheers!

Excellent work, Raxo! The "George is a rabbit" evidence continues to pile up.

Notice how Paul tries to throw people off the track by playing multiple instruments. However, his disloyalty to the rabbit instrument of choice (the horn) proves that he is not a rabbit, merely a rabbit pretender. The same can be said of John (in Help) and Ringo, who often plays no instrument at all, particularly in their videos. But George cannot leave the horn alone if it is near him. Poor bunny.


As an aside, I see poor Revolution broke in with an on topic response to this thread. Hi, Revolution! *waves* George wrote many beautiful love songs in his solo career as well. He's a big softy. (Oh! More proof that he's really a rabbit!) Cheers.

FURTHUR EVIDENCE: NUMBER ONE

'Harrison Pet Products Inc' takes pride in selling extremely high quality rabbit food:

http://www.harrisonpet.com/en/genesis/small_animal/alfalfa_rabbit/

I have two possible explanations for the existence of this organisation:

ONE) George is obviously behind the creation of this organisation. He started it as an effort to sustain loyalty towards his furry friends, and to provide them with the best food on the market. He allowed his surname to be used but of course with-held his first name to conceal his involvement and continue the subtlety which he so often displayed when it came to his rabbit life form

TWO) We are not the only ones to have spotted the obvious clues that George was in fact a rabbit! When a sepreate organisation realised this, they created 'Harrison Pet Products' in tribute to him... perhaps we should contact this organisation to show our support of what they are doing??

It's the bow tie. It impresses everyone.

([url]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/royalty1.jpg[/url])


Indeed, George's wearing of the bow tie may have great importance in this investigation...

FURTHUR EVIDENCE: NUMBER TWO

Surely we all remember the craze of 'TY Beanie Babies' the small lovable toys which people went crazy over about 10 years ago? I know they were really big in the UK- not sure if it reached America. They were basically little soft toy animals and they all had names and people collected them haha

The point is, THE RABBIT BEANIE BABY WAS CALLED HARRISON!

This is an unavoidable clue. You can see Harrison the beanie baby here with:

http://www.shopzoo.com/shopzoo.cgi?cmd=item&id=1398726

or here is an image:

(http://www.ebaja.pl/images/harrisonbb.gif)

the text on the first link explains that: ''Harrison is ready for any occasion dressed in a yellow bow!''
this is extremely significant, because as Harihead rightly pointed out, George flaunted the bow tie numerous times.
But why a yellow bow?
we all live in a YELLOW submarine...need I say any more??

FURTHUR EVIDENCE: NUMBER THREE

(http://www.funshop.ch/catalog/images/artikel/24012.jpg)

Here we see a model of George, wearing brown. Brown is famously a TYPICAL RABBIT COLOUR

He holds hands with a blue meanie. Why, I hear you ask, has he befriended a blue meanie?
The answer, my friends, is the unarguable resemblance between the blue meanie and a rabbit. Of course George could not help but be attracted to that pair of long ears with which he was so familiar.

PHOTOGRAPHIC JUMPING EVIDENCE:

just had to add to the fact that George was incredible at jumping- a true sign of his physical rabbit-like abilities


If you've seen 'Help', you will no doubt remember the incredible agility with which George leaped and grabbed onto this window sill:

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a135/girl privateCatDoll12/The%20Beatles/Help/help-990.jpg)

It is hardly suprising that he manages to jump higher than all the other Beatles:

(http://991.com/newgallery/The-Beatles-Jump-Canvas-Print-351747.jpg)

(http://beatlemania630.tripod.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/beatlesjump.jpg)




With regards to the speed of his movement, it dawned on me that he loved fast cars and formula one- clearly a sign of his love of fast movements and if you have ever seen a rabbit run, you will know that rabbits move incredibly fast
Movement has clearly always been important to George from astrological movement: 'I look at the world, and I notice it's TURNING' to love: 'Something in the way SHE MOVES'. Rabbits are fairly defenceless and so their movement, speed and agility are their most important survival techniques. So too did George have a clear concern for speed and movement... A CLEAR CONNECTION!

*holds hand to palpitating heart* My dear friends!

What a wonderful thing to wake up: astounding new reams of evidence as to George's inate rabbithood. I am humbled and very grateful that so many of you took up the cause and brought forward this exciting new evidence.

Tangerine, you are a champ. All these clues! 'Harrison Pet Products Inc' producing Genesis Alfalfa Rabbit Food AND the existence of Harrison the Beanie Bunny! With a yellow bow tie! *dies laughing*

I agree with Raxo, this evidence alone should clinch it. Although imagining Patti as a very attractive, long-eared Blue Meanie is also interesting, if somewhat disturbing.   :o


In another brilliant bit of detective work, Bobber points out George Harrison's Playboy Award for Best Vocal Group in the 1970 Playboy All-Star Jazz and Pop Poll Award. I wonder why, if all the Beatles supposedly got one, only George's medallion survived. Could it be that Hugh Hefner sent only one medallion? That he knew something about George that the world at large did not? I leave it to you to consider.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/playboymed.jpg)


And then there is the 'son of a hare' connection. I wonder... could the picture George Harrison published of the black-tailed jack rabbit possibly be... a family member?

I have also studied George's leaping abilities very closely, but I failed to notice how often he sang about movement in his songs. Tangerine, I'm indebted to you.

I think the bunny ears, bushes-hiding behavior, and connection to yellow are all self-evident. Thanks again, everyone, for giving me such a cheerful morning. :)

*shakes hands with Revolution * ponders George's rabbithood some more*


PS: Feel better, Tangerine!  Although I can't be too sad, as your illness brought us all this exciting new evidence. Drink tea! Surf! *hugs*

Dear Seekers of Truth:

I have been reviewing, for scientific purposes  ;), some photographs of the Beatles. As is inevitable these days, I have come up with yet more evidence as to George's true rabbit nature. However, excitingly, I believe I can now identify with some confidence the type of rabbit he might be.

Observe this photo from Help!:
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/georgehops.jpg)

Why does George, alone of the Beatles, attempt to ski with no skis? Because he doesn't need them. According to this article (http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/snowshoe_rabbit.htm):

Quote
The snowshoe rabbit ... has large rear feet and the toes can spread out to act like snowshoes. Their feet also have fur on the bottom, which protects them from the cold and gives them traction in the snow.


Thanks to Tangerine, I have also been pondering George's jumping abilities. The article continues:
Quote
The Snowshoe Rabbit can run up to 27 mph and jump 10 feet in one hop.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/georgefly1.jpg)

Need more proof?
Quote
They are also good swimmers and will jump in the water to make an escape.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/helppool.jpg)

Then we bring in telling evidence from this article: http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Lepus_americanus.html
Quote
Snowshoe hares ... are not particularly vocal animals,

The QUIET Beatle!!!  :o ;D

Quote
...but may make loud squealing sounds when captured.

I think this is a misunderstanding on the part of the researchers. The loud squealing noises recorded near certain captured rabbits might in fact be coming from other creatures in the vicinity.
(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/fanned2s.jpg)

Quote
Most communication between hares involves thumping the hind feet against the ground.


I would like to produce this piece of evidence in which this form of communication provided an exciting episode in Beatles history (italics are mine):

Quote
Johnny Guitar remembered some collusion between the Hurricanes and the Beatles. 'Germans like you to mach schau, which means 'stamp your feet and clap'. The rickety stage was very dangerous, so we came to an arrangement with the Beatles that we'd wreck it. First, they'd go on and stamp their feet and then we'd go on and jump up and down. Koschmider would say, 'Very good, boys, you mach good schau.' Little did he realise that this was a deliberate effort to destroy the stage. (from [url]http://www.spencerleigh.demon.co.uk/Fabs_Germany.htm[/url])


I'm sure I can find additional examples of showshoe rabbitness at some future moment when I'm avoiding work. Cheers!

Thank you, Tangerine and Raxo. As others have noted, the evidence was before us all the time. It took MasterOfGoingFaster to put us onto the correct trail.

Speaking of which, here are some more telling quotes from the articles I linked to above:

Quote
Look for snowshoe hare tracks in the snow--you can find out where they live or where they've been by following them.
Apple Scruffs... Paparazzi... I will say no more.

Quote
[The snowshoe hare] migrates throughout the mid-west United States
This was typical Beatles behavior. Note the remark at this Minneapolis 8/21/65 Press Conference: "It seems whenever you come to perform in this country, it's always in the form of a grand tour..." John Lennon acknowledges the truth of it all.

Quote
Snowshoe hares are experts at escaping predators. ... In addition to high speeds, hares employ skillful changes in direction and vertical leaps.
I submit the following evidence from an Amazon customer review of Here Comes the Sun: The Spiritual and Musical Journey of George Harrison:
Quote
a 1969 Paris hotel press conference ... grew to a mob scene in which George and his good friend, an American from the London Hare Krishnas (complete with dhoti and shaved head) escaped by shimmying down a nearby laundry chute. They fell two stories, but landed safely in a pile of dirty linen, much to the astonishment of women folding towels in the basement. Reporters followed them down the chute, and in a scene that could have been out of _A Hard Day's Night_, Harrison and the Krishna devotee bolted out to a taxi, reporters in hot pursuit and throwing themselves before the taxi to prevent departure.

And this:

Quote
Young hares often "freeze" in their tracks when they are alerted to the presence of a predator. Presumably, they are attempting to escape notice by being cryptic.
Cryptic. If this doesn't describe George, I don't know what does.

Hares like to take dust baths. These help to remove ectoparasites from the hares' fur.
Unfortunately, I don't have a cap of George leaping into the sand pit (from the Bahamas sequence of Help!). However, I do have this verbal confirmation from John Lennon:
Quote
On August 22, 1964--41 years ago today--the Beatles hit Vancouver. ... There had been a delay at customs, which John Lennon explained: "We had to be deloused."

I believe these facts speak for themselves.
 
Finally, my snowshoe rabbit web search brought up the following quote:
Quote from: Albert Einstein
"If a man aspires towards a righteous life, his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals."

Einstein's quote applies to all animals. Why would it appear specifically on a snowshoe rabbit page? What person among the Beatles tried hardest to aspire to a righteous life?

I will say no more. Cheers, everyone!

LOL! Ain't that the truth!  

I didn't know that fact about octopuses' gardens either, BTW. I guess Peter Sellers was not a zoologist. *bounces over to the Ringo thread to learn more about the animal kingdom*


Oh, and one more fact from the showshoe hare pages listed above:
Quote
Mating is polygynandrous (both males and females have multiple mates).
But perhaps that quote belongs in the "What did the Beatles do in their hotel rooms" thread.  :o ;D Cheers.

 :o It's the universal "rabbit ears" sign! I totally missed that at first glance. Those subtle Beatles! ;D

Although hippies subsequently confiscated this sign to mean "Peace, man" they appear to be unaware of the true origin of this arcane symbol. "Peace, man" with the first two fingers extended in a V was actually an ancient gesture intended to evoke peace and understanding between cave men and rabbits. While dogs (wolves) are often credited as being the first domesticated animals, the presence of rabbit bones at many archeological sites proves the ages-old relationship between mankind and bunnykind. The power of this relationship can be seen even today, as rabbits cohabit with humans around the globe.

In fact, when Europeans began to populate Australia and discovered the lack of rabbits, they actually imported them! According to noted author Jared Diamond, this experiment had to be done four times before the Australians succeeded in finding a species of rabbit that would thrive on their continent-- all because humans wanted to have more rabbits in their lives. And the Australians have been counting their blessings ever since.  ::)


Also, consider the additional scientific evidence found in just one paragraph of the articles quoted earlier:
Quote
Snowshoe hares are typically solitary,

...George's famous seclusion at Friar Park...

Quote
but they often live at high densities

Unavoidable during the Beatlemania era.

Quote
They are active at low light levels and so are most often seen out and about at dawn, dusk, and during the night.

Think of the clubs. The late-night recording sessions stretching to dawn.  The Beatles were known to be late risers; perhaps they were adjusting their habits out of consideration to George's nocturnal needs?

Quote
They are also active on cloudy days.

George's fascination with clouds is revealed in such songs as "Grey Cloudy Lies" "Blow Away" "Cloud 9" and "Stuck Inside a Cloud", to cite just a few examples.

It's astounding, isn't it, Revolution? That's why we are continuing this valuable research. I think the reason so many people missed it is because it's right out in the open. As a dancer friend of mine once told me, "If you make a mistake, make it big! Then people think it's on purpose."

Or, as John Lennon once said regarding his Fat Elvis period, "I was in a trough in Help! But people didn't see it because I was protected by the power of the image of the Beatles."

I think George may have received some of this same benefit. People were not looking for a rabbit; they just accepted that George was a lad from Liverpool and looked no farther. It's only once you begin to look, that the evidence piles up overwhelmingly.

Raxo, nice follow-up with the rabbit-ears sign and the lyrics. We can see from the photo that the remaining two Beatles remain committed to man/rabbit peace. Such devotion warms my heart (plays "Never Without You" again).

([url]http://images.wikia.com/uncyclopedia/images/thumb/2/23/Beatles_odd.jpg/300px-Beatles_odd.jpg[/url])

Phew! Wow, are those Beatles subtle or what? You're right, this is a darned elusive clue, but I'll give it a shot.

Upon first glance, I'm immediately aware of two things: George is physically separated from the others, and Paul is the only link to George. Therefore, the clues revolve around the Paul-George pair. George is standing tall, while Paul is on the ground. They are emphasizing that they are different-- polar opposites, in fact. While it is very Beatlish to celebrate diversity, I think the lads have something more they want to communicate in this instance.  

Paul is in an obviously fake animal costume that features short ears and a long tail. He is directly connected to George, who is not in an animal costume. George needs no costume, as he is really a rabbit-- an animal that has long ears and a short tail. The diametrically opposed stances of Paul and George are intended to convey that the reality is opposite the illusion; he who appears to have short ears has long ones, he who appears to be furless is furry, and so on.

The two feathers in George's cap might be taken as an analog for the rabbit ears that he must keep covered (I believe you discovered a photo clearly showing these rabbit ears at a press conference earlier in this thread. Most of the time George must keep them hidden under his long locks). However, I fear a more sinister meaning might apply. The cap, indeed George's entire stance, is reminscent of Elmer Fudd, a well-known maniacal wabbit hunter since 1940:

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/elmer_fudd.jpg)

The chilling message is that the Beatles must couch these clues as obscurely as possible, out of fear that legitimately licensed hunters might deprive the band of their lead guitarist. Or possibly stick him in an Easter basket, but that seems less likely. *pets Beatles*

Ringo's costume is the easiest to interpret. Once again, like Paul, he is quite obviously wearing a fake fur suit. It's as if he's shouting out to the viewer, "Anyone can see I am really a man, and not like some other people I could mention but will not out of fear and consideration for their feelings." His solidarity with John and Paul show that these three Beatles are alike (men) although they willingly remained linked to the one who is different (rabbit).

John just plain has me baffled. What is he saying? "Here comes Johnny Cossack-tail?"  ::)

Sorry, Bobber. Best I could do. Cheers.  :)

I think you've put me on a trail here. Looking at the picture again, I thought that John, Ringo and Paul are resembling different stages of the being of George. John is the Indian prince, that is quite clear. Both Ringo and Paul are assuming that George has got 'something' to do with an animal, but are obviously not sure what kind. George, quick as he is, reacts immediately and shows up as a hunter. Ringo and Paul look like animals that are quite dangerous to an innocent rabbit. He's grabbing Paul by the tail!
Title: Re: Was George A Rabbit?
Post by: harihead on March 06, 2007, 02:42:46 PM
You are right, Bobber! What a blind beetle I have been! (to quote Sherlock Holmes). John is undoutedly the Indian prince. The proof is in the posture:

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/prince.jpg)

You were also intuitive enough to pick up on the uncertainty in the other two Beatles. Ringo can "bearly" deal with the issue, while Paul girl privatefoots around any real confrontation, even with George grabbing him by the tail! Clearly, there's a lot to learn from this photo.

Quote from: Revolution
George  was trying to throw fans off his track?  :-/

I don't really understand all the nuances, Rev. The Beatles seem to be giving us clues, but they are very coy about it. I can only say that I have read extensively about The Beatles lately, and not one officially published document confirms in any way that George was really a rabbit. I do not know whether to put this down to a bias of the times, or if there are other, possibly legal, matters at stake. I can only say that I continue to be amazed at the amount of evidence being found, and will follow-up if it seems I can contribute anything. Cheers!

Quote from: Raxo

Raxo, it appears you have uncovered a whole other area of research! Given the number of pictures we've seen recently of John imitating rabbits or wearing hats or making the rabbit sign, could he have harbored some (very natural) rabbit envy? This seems a fascinating course of study to undertake... but perhaps we should pursue it in the John forum?  ;D

Quote from: 564
Keep it coming, please.

Thank you, Sewi! It's always great to find another seeker of truth in here. *hands you a set of bunny ears, courtesy of Tangerine*

The fact is, I can only present the evidence as I see it. Fortunately, with the wealth of information available through Internet searches and the Beatles' photo record, new evidence seems to come to light all the time. Take, for instance, this information (again, from one of the previously mentioned articles about snowshoe rabbits):

Quote
Snowshoe hares are also famous for their seasonal molts. ... The molt usually takes about 72 days to reach completion, and it seems to be regulated by daylength.

George did say at one point his hair seems to grow faster than the other Beatles'. Could this simply be a product of his natural cycle?

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/moltsumr.jpg) Summer phase

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/moltautm.jpg) Autumn phase

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/moltwint.jpg) Winter phase

Perhaps not definitive proof, but George's hair cycles might raise some legitimate suspicion!

Rinog is the bear or circus act that atracks the crowed hence the Bear suite!But he would not put on the head peice!

George alwasy stollen the hearts of the young gilrs so he is Robin Hood!

Paul is the Cat not a fake costume--I dont get that! That is just wrong!how can his be fake & Ringos ect be real!

George is pulling his tail not holding it--He pullls it as when you
pull a cats tail you controle them!

George may be the youngest --but He was Lead guitar!

Paul John did not like & stated such in How--How do you sleep--You wrote yesterday---now your gone & you write another day--How do you sleep you C-nt!
This can be seen on Imagine the 2000 vertion!

Aslo to suport it--Paul was the Walrus--John stated I barried Paul---
Also there is every time Paul sang Yesterday on National tv--John stated Thank you Ringo--it's just like him!

Newsflash: Shocking video of George's rabbit nature!

wvT9xSsgUBA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvT9xSsgUBA)

In this 1966 YouTube clip, you can see irrepressible rabbit behavior starting about 30 seconds in.

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/nosewrinkle.jpg)

George repeatedly picks up Pattie's hand and sniffs her fingers, wiggling his nose like a rabbit! Well, okay, it's the same clip repeated in the video collection, but he definitely wiggles his nose.

As this footage was being captured for people around the world, I wonder: was George giving a shout-out to his rabbit friends? Was he saying, "I, a mere rabbit, have married a model, and you can, too"? Or was he merely flaunting his rabbitness, confident that we would never look past the Beatle to see the bunny?

Interesting question.

EXCELLENT! amazing discoveries. Just wow. Is it just me or does George look more and more like a rabbit throughout his life? He's such an admirable guy I mean all the rabbit urges must have been pretty hard to supress. The teeth! Theyre loads of evidence alone!

On a completely irrelevant note, George looks absolutely ridiculously gorgeous in he and pattie's wedding footage. Pattie was extremely lucky, I am extremely jealous- but they were such a beautiful couple :)

Excellent, Bobber!!! (thumbsup) ... It's so autobiographical that it was included on the George Harrison album!!! ::)

For those of you (very few, for sure) who don't know the song:

Faster (George Harrison album, 1979)

Chose a life in circuses
Jumped into the deepest end
Pushing himself to all extremes
Made it - people became his friend.

Now they stood and noticed him
Wanted to be part of it
Pulled out some poor machinery
So he worked 'til the pieces fit.

The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He'd realized their dreams.

Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster.

Now he moved into the space
That the special people share
Right on the edge of do or die
Where there is nothing left to spare.

Still the crowds came pouring in
Some had hoped to see him fail
Filling their hearts with jealousies
Crazy people with love so frail.

The people were intrigued
His wife held back her fears
The headlines gave acclaim
He'd realized their dreams.

Faster than a bullet from a gun
He is faster than everyone
Quicker than the blinking of an eye
Like a flash you could miss him going by
No one knows quite how he does it but it's true they say
He's the master of going faster.

No need to wonder why
His wife held back her fears
So few have even tried
To realize their dreams.
Faster than a bullet . . . (repeat chorus)



Some lines (most of them, indeed) are very clear references, he's defining himself  :o ... how blind I've been all these years! :-/ ;D

Wonderful finds, Tangerine! You can't force the George/rabbit connections, but I am glad that you report them as you find them. I do the same. :)

Um, did you notice that the rabbit's collection of hats often resembled George's? The top hats, the cowboy hat, the boater... could this be mere coincidence?  :X

Good observation about Help, Raxo! George, that Wiley Wabbit, would never be caught in such a simple trap. No wonder the other Beatles longed to be like him.  ;D

Post by: tangerine on April 08, 2007, 12:17:33 PM
I think there is quite a lot of rabbit evidence in lyrics you know

George's thoughtful lyrics provide evidence for the life-long struggle to conceal his true identity as a rabbit.

 George wrote 'here comes the sun' when in the Beatles- EVIDENTLY a complete identity cover!

FACT: Rabbits are nocturnal and therefore are active between dusk and dawn.


We know how hard George tried to conceal the truth particularly in the beatles years. Perhaps 'here comes the sun' is a red herring- the positive and happy attitude towards the sun is just a way to furthur hide his rabbit-caused love of the night time.

THEN in his solo career, George wrote 'Here comes the MOON' with such lyrics as:

Act like they don't notice it
But here it is all here it comes . . .
Here comes the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon.

Impulse always quickens when it's full
As it turns my head around me

'Act like they don't notice it' - He is finding it hard to live among humans who arent nocturnal like him. He can't understand why people sleep during the night- not noticing or appreciating the night sky. Or maybe he is saying that people act like they don't notice that he's a rabbit- MAYBE he was actually convinced that everyone knew the truth about him but pretended not to.

'IMPULSE QUICKENS WHEN IT'S FULL' !! We can see here that George in his later life is finding it harder to hide that he is a rabbit. He is even admitting the truth of his nocturnal nature. As a rabbit, it's all that can be expected.

ahhh how I love this investigation

hare hare krishna  :)

Obviously!!! :o ... so when The Guys were finalley able (no more tours) to be recording at Abbey Road Studios all over the night they did ... because of George's nocturnal activity  :) ... and so George's treasures, gems and pieces of jewellery came then!!! 8)

It's like Dr. McCoy trying to make the Vulcan greeting symbol.  He doesn't quite get it. ;)

Poor George needs to get out of the street.  He's going to be roadkill! (Actually, I heard that the Beatles originally shot it that way, but they had to edit that part out of the final sequence. Once again, George is trying to call attention to the tragic plight of all those rabbits that are mowed down by thoughtless tires across the planet. He is truly loyal to other members of his species.)

haha! This thread is rather confusing

I think basically it began as an ordinary thread about George's romantic side on songs...

then following an off-hand comment that George was a rabbit, some amusing evidence was revealed that connected George with rabbits

And so it has become a rather unusual thread (for which the title is misleading) which provides page after page of evidence that George Harrison was a rabbit...!

Personally I find it rather entertaining

Because it's like the 'Paul is dead theory'... but well, better

from poses in photos, to his lyrics, to his mannerisms and interview quotes, George can be connected to rabbits

So, senseless fooling about, or a serious investigation?! who knows!

 :) does this help?
Title: Re: Was George A Rabbit?
Post by: harihead on April 29, 2007, 02:12:18 PM
Sorry about the confusion, DarkSweetLady! Tangerine explained it pretty well. The rabbit joke started as an offhand comment way back on page 1, and then we sort of got carried away. It's sort of like the thread "What did the Beatles do in their hotel rooms?" which started out to be a serious inquiry and then got sillier and sillier until it's now entirely a joke thread.

I suppose out of mercy to the poor people who really would like to discuss George's romantic side on songs, we should rename this thread to "George is a rabbit". Does anyone know how to do that?

Cheers, all!

Quote from: 297

You're right, Raxo! It's time for more hard evidence proving that George really was a rabbit. Good thing I'm back from vacation, because I recently discovered a new connection. It's not as overt as Raxo's Nestle's Quik strawberry milk mix cover, which is pretty telling evidence! However, I believe it bears repeating in the interest of completeness.

So, Tom Petty was a great friend of George's, and this started me watching Tom's videos on YouTube. I was immediately struck by how many of Tom's videos seemed to have a Beatleish connection. For example, "Into the Great Wide Open" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-gVVGD7j3E - starts with a very Magical Mystery Tour-ish event, with the young hero (a very baby Johnny Depp) getting onto a bus. Both Ringo and George make a guest appearance on his classic "I Won't Back Down" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YokNQw_eK6Y

Getting back to the rabbit track, Tom Petty did his own Mad Hatter video. (The Alice in Wonderland connection to George's rabbitness is discussed on page 2, http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/b-harrison/m-1137868316/s-15/ ) In "Don't Come Around Here No More" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7gWzWqJu1k - Tom chillingly portrays the confusion one can feel when one follows the White Rabbit into his dreamlike world. We know from many examples in this thread that George can be viewed as the White Rabbit, although he could also be considered the March Hare at the tea party. Petty does not show George in his video, but the George connection is clearly implied both by the lack of other rabbits, and when Tom portrays the baby in the carriage changing into a pig ("Piggies") at 3:07.

The final Tom Petty/George is a rabbit clue is most visible in "Running Down A Dream" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKo6oU3Jk4c - Their cartoon adventures include this frightening rabbit encounter that begins at 2:15.

(http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s95/harihead/tompetly.jpg)

First, Tom is startled by one giant rabbit. Then other rabbits poke their heads out, for a total of four. I believe the first rabbit must be George. Fierce as the rabbit appears (after all, the Beatles were the "biggest" band ever), he is also cautious-- hiding in the woods. The remaining rabbits obviously represent the other Beatles, who supported and helped hide George's rabbitness throughout their relationship. The many pictures in this thread of the other Beatles trying (unsuccessfully) to make rabbit signs or use rabbit instruments prove their ongoing support, as well as their attempts to disguise themselves as rabbits from time to time as part of the cover-up.

In the cartoon, the Petty character quickly leaves the forest. I believe he is not so much frightened by the giant bunnies as in league with them, trying to preserve the secret nature of his friend George. Like the other clues discovered so far, Petty is not interested in exposing George. He merely hints at the truth for those to see who can.

I present you with more evidence:

1. Did Paul really miss George more than we think? Was he attempting to lure him back?

2. More jumping evidence.

3. The popular character from Bambi, Thumper, was a rabbit.
Here, George is being "thumped" with pillows. A possible nickname? Also, notice the position of George's legs.

[...]Here is some photographic evidence that your clue is on track.

([url]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/mariole/georgecat.jpg[/url])

First, George is trying his best to hold the cat there, as it says in the song.

Second, his arm is partly hiding the animal.

Third, the cat appears to be licking or biting him. Why would George's own cat want to eat him? Because he's a rabbit!

So you see here, performing at shea stadium, the microphone suspiciously looks like a carrot, now look at there faces, it looks like they want to bite it. Suspicious anyone..?

Now observe...
(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i295/inbredxbergman/Carrotminegrr.jpg)

Doesn't it look like theyre fighting over the carrot..? Ahhh!


Now, here.. it looks like George is knawing on Patties thumb, maybe he thinks its a carrot...?
(http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i295/inbredxbergman/Knawing.jpg)

Oh no! George knows hes been spotted, he tries to hide in the bushes, the camera man goes in for a closer look..

It's too much for George and he hops away hoping he'll never be caught, muahahah!

Post by: adamzero on August 25, 2007, 11:35:55 PM
I think a more scientific term would be "rabbitoid."  Clearly George and his ancestors developed from a Celtic race of rabbit-people mentioned in the Mabinogion.  Or it may have been a Hare--hence Harrison.  We'd need a real linguist to pin that down.

I'm sure the other Beatles match up with different totemic animal Grandfathers.  John said the Walrus was Paul so that there would be no mistake about it.  Ringo or "Starkey" probably came from starfish (hence Octopus' Garden and the comic Patrick Starfish on SpongeBob).  Paul is harder to judge.  He may be reptilian--or that could be Faul.  The real Paul may have been the victim of a ritual sacrifice like the Quetzalcoatl bird ("Blackbird" may be a reference to this event).  John may have been a tortoise (the glasses as well as the hard shell).  The tortoise is the "earth-diver" in myth, originator of the world, just as John was the "founder" of the band.

*revival*
I found a clue in Paul and the Wings' song Band on the Run.

So, one of the lines in the song is, "And a bell was ringing in the village square for the rabbits on the run." I also read that George helped write Band on the Run.
Also, George didn't want people to know he was really a rabbit, so he's on the run with the band. It's truly obvious!

One girl drew a rabbit and then turned to the class and said, "What should I name him?". And one guy goes, "Geroge!". I seriously almost fell out of my chair from laughing.

I read through this entire thread last night at 12 and 1am, brilliant!  Rabbit George is adorable, he'd be the cutest bunny out there.  Have read some online stories where he's decribed as rabbity or rabbit-like; I started to use that word myself, but when I saw it was already being used so prevalently, didn't want to seem derivative.  Funny how that's the description people automatically reach for, though.

You're all daft!



In a widely quoted 1966 interview, John Lennon had apparently claimed that The Beatles were bigger than God and was reported to have gone on to say that God had never had a hit record.  The story spread like wildfire in America.  Many fans burned their albums, many more burned their fingers attempting to burn their albums.  Album sales skyrocketed.  People were buying them just to burn them.  But in fact it was all a ghastly mistake.  Lennon, talking to a slightly deaf journalist, had claimed only that The Beatles were bigger than Rod.

Rod Stewart would not be big for another eight years, and certainly at this stage hadn't had a hit.  At a press conference, Lennon apologized to God, Rod and the press.

Maybe: "The origin of the word Hispania is much disputed and the evidence for the various speculations are based merely upon what are at best mere resemblances, likely to be accidental, and suspect supporting evidence. One theory holds it to be of Punic derivation, from the Phoenician language of colonizing Carthage. Specifically, it may derive from a Punic cognate of Hebrew אי-שפניא (i-shfania) meaning "Island of the Hyrax" or "island of the hare" or "island of the rabbit" (Phoenician-Punic and Hebrew are both Canaanite languages and therefore closely related to each other). Others derive the word from Phoenician span, in the sense of "hidden", and make it indicate "a hidden", that is, "a remote", or "far-distant land".

Unfortunately, the original thread was separated into a separate thread by a moderator after the comment in post #1 and given the name Was George A Rabbit?  Early on I commented that it shouldn't have been done as a great deal of initial humor and continuity was lost.  It's too bad no one ever remerged the topics.

https://ibb.co/nExc3Q (https://ibb.co/nExc3Q)

"One of the rarest of George Harrison's songs is "Ride Rajbun" from the 1992 CD (and cassette) "The Bunbury Tails". Harrison co-wrote the song's lyrics with Bunbury Tails creator David English. The eponymous Rajbun was a character in the animated television series, one of a team of cricket-playing rabbits – in this case, from Bangalore in India. Late last year, the series was uploaded on YouTube, something we just discovered. The episode entitled "Rajbun's Story", featuring the song can be found here.
The Bunbury Tails - Rajbun's Story https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-86qwYkTog# (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-86qwYkTog#)
The song is only briefly heard in the background a couple of times.
The composition is in the style of a nursery rhyme or children's song, while the all-Indian instrumentation on the recording recalls some of Harrison's compositions for the Beatles during 1966–68.

Harrison recorded "Ride Rajbun" in March 1988, between the release of his successful comeback album, Cloud Nine, and his formation of the Traveling Wilburys. Harrison's nine-year-old son Dhani and English accompanied him on the recording, as fellow vocalists, and Indian musician and composer Ravi Shankar provided the opening sitar part.

Having previously been averse to most team sports, George Harrison came to appreciate cricket while recording his 1987 comeback album, Cloud Nine, with fellow musicians Jeff Lynne and Elton John, both fans of the game. Author Ian Inglis suggests that Harrison's involvement in The Bunbury Tails – a children's animated TV series about a group of heroic, sports-playing rabbits – partly resulted from his friendship with Eric Clapton, another cricket fan and an occasional player for the Bunbury Cricket Club. The latter was a charity-fundraising team founded in 1986 by writer David English, whose Bunbury Tails cartoon books inspired the TV show. According to English, he suggested to Harrison that he contribute a song to the series while they were playing cricket in the grounds of Friar Park, Harrison's home in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. English says he likened the "Bunburys" to Harrison's idea for a semi-fictional band, the Traveling Wilburys, which Harrison would soon form with Lynne, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison.

Financed by the Bee Gees, production on The Bunburys Tails began in early 1988, although it would not air on British television until 1992. The series was directed by Bob Godfrey, who had worked on the Beatles' 1968 animated film Yellow Submarine. Harrison's participation followed his work on various film soundtracks, particularly for releases by his company HandMade Films, during the five years preceding his return with Cloud Nine.

Harrison wrote the song "Ride Rajbun" about one of the show's characters, Rajbun, a rabbit who originated from the Indian city of Bangalore. In English's recollection, the night after he had made the request, Harrison called him at home in London and played the tune down the phone. The pair met the next day and co-wrote the song's lyrics.

Composition
Musically, "Ride Rajbun" is in the style of what author Alan Clayson calls "George's Indo-pop productions" for the Beatles, "Love You To" and "The Inner Light", released in 1966 and 1968 respectively. The lyrics take the form of a traditional children's song, author Simon Leng writes, with its refrain sung in rounds, similar to "London's Burning".

In the chorus, Harrison urges Rajbun to ride on his elephant Ellie, away from his home in India and embrace his destiny:

Ride Rajbun, ride Rajbun
Seek your fame and speak your fortune
Go on, Rajbun, ride your Ellie
Cross the mountains, through the valleys.


Recording
Harrison recorded "Ride Rajbun" in late March 1988, at his Friar Park studio, FPSHOT, and at an unnamed studio in London. The song was his first to feature only Indian instrumentation since "The Inner Light", recorded in Bombay in January 1968. The sitar introduction to "Ride Rabjan" – or alap, in the Indian classical tradition – was performed by Ravi Shankar. It has been said that Harrison visited Shankar at the London hotel where the sitarist was staying and taped Shankar's intro in his hotel room. Harrison otherwise played all the sitar parts on the song. As with Harrison's appearance on "Friar Park", a track on Shankar's album Tana Mana (1987), "Ride Rajbun" marked a rare collaboration between the two musicians in the years since their joint North American tour at the end of 1974.

Harrison sang the choruses with his son Dhani, and English (in the role of Katman) provided what Leng calls a "cameo vocal" part. According to author Bill Harry, Ray Cooper played percussion on the track; in English's description, all the other contributors were "top Indian musicians", none of whom are credited by name. Besides sitar, the Indian instruments on the recording include tabla, shehnai and bansuri (flute). From writing the song to the finished recording, work on "Ride Rajbun" lasted for four days. Harrison then left for Los Angeles, a trip that resulted in the formation of the Traveling Wilburys.

After the television show was broadcast in 1992, on Britain's Channel 4 network, Polydor Records included the song on its soundtrack album from the series. The UK-only album was released on 5 October that year, on the same day that Harrison joined guitarist Gary Moore on stage at London's Royal Albert Hall. While Harrison made a number of concert appearances throughout 1992, this period marked the end of his successful return to full-time music-making, after Cloud Nine and two albums with the Traveling Wilburys. Although he would continue to record privately as a solo artist, "Ride Rajbun" was the last new Harrison song to be commercially released until "Horse to the Water" in 2001."
