I voted for 'Strawberry Fields Forever'
-
i decided with Lucy in the sky with diamonds. cause when i think trippy, i think cellephane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head.
-
Tomorrow Never Knows without a doubt for me. Although LSD would probably be a close second.

Tomorrow never knows, with Lucy right behind.
-
For me, personally
"Flying" followed by "Sun King"
-
"Across the Universe"? Where the hell did you come up with that? Jesus wept. How'z about "Love Me Do?" which is an anagram for "O demev ol" which means 'A Dude of Some is A dumb Ass" in Swhilli.
-
Really jr, that's one step too far imho. Agression is a fine thing: it's a creative force. Try to use it in a more constructive way...
-
Across The Universe for me.
-
;D Very subtle, Kevin.

juniorsfarm=angry man

mmmmm, juniors farm seems to be losing his friends by the day :)
across the universe for me ;)
-
funny how 2 people vote for Across The Universe yet it still has 0 in the poll.
-
Didn't think of voting1. It now has one.
-
hey jf, i said sounds the trippiest not what it really was about. if that was the case than we'd all vote tomorrow never knows because its an acid trip within a song! jesus f*cking christ JF, how far up your ass is that pole?
not only is JF losing friends by the day, he also seems to have a massive vendetta against anything i post. hell, he didnt even put down what he voted for, he just started insulting me for putting a reasonable choice for the poll.
Hey JF, i would've put more on there but theres this little thing on here that restricts the number of choices. if you want to continue to b**** about this, then you try and fix that little restriction.
-

surpirsingly enough, I am the walrus has no votes. i wouldve thought that would make the top 3 trippy beatles songs
-

He is losing friends and rightly so.
-
Nah that was too harsh
-
Juniors alright guys. I dont know about any personal vandettas, but he's always been decent to me.
Back to the topic,,,,I voted for 'I Am The Walrus'. I think its a psychedelic masterpiece and pretty trippy. My other vote would go to 'I'm Only Sleeping'. I love its atmospheric sound.
-
Don't Be Long or Sun King or Rain for me.
-
Don't Be Long or Sun King or Rain for me.
Don't Be Long, most definitely.

I thought the song was called Blue Jay Way. For second I thought there may be a beatles song I dont know ;D
-

If there's any personal thing going on, I suggest to discuss it off-board. This is a place to discuss and debate, not to swear... Well, that is my opinion. Please, try to accept and maybe even respect eachother and eachother's opinion. Think twice before posting something harsh. It's not so difficult... 8) Love and peace, remember?
-
Thats what i'm saying. I'm not aware of the tensions between junior and other people (if there even is any), but I find it hard to believe that Junior would hold any kind of grudge, but whatever.
Also, dont let the mod title change who you are bobber. Trust me, power corupts sometimes. This is coming from experience.
-
dead men tell no tales........
-
I'm not changing anything... Just trying to be honest as always. That has nothing to do with corruption. This is a clash that's been going on for quite a while and I think it's about time it comes to an end.
-
'All gone over my head as I' trippin instead.'....Stick that in your lyric book courtesy of The Chancers,. ;o) Peace & Love y'all. :)
I thought this forum would be safe as milk but it seems to have gone sour.
-
i dont want any bad blood with any of you but juniors seems to bash alot of my recent threads and i dont know why. if i angered any of you, i'm sorry. but let's put the past behind us and not let this drag on any longer
-
Tomorrow Never Knows is a song about meditation. It was adapted from 'The Tibetan Book of the Dead' By an acid tripping Lennon.
George says in the anthology that he wasn't sure if John knew he was singing about meditation when he recorded the song.
-
but according to "Hard Day's Write" the point of the song was to put an acid trip in a song. so that would make it the actual trippy song.
-
It's not about putting an acid trip into a song. It is from the Tibetan book of the dead. Still trippy.
-
i decided with Lucy in the sky with diamonds. cause when i think trippy, i think cellephane flowers of yellow and green towering over your head.
What about "sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun? If the sun dont come you get a tan from standing in the English rain.."(rainbow1)
I chose Tomorrow never knows, the sound of this song is definately the tripiest, (with strawberry no2) but if it comes to the lyrics, I'd chose LSD.
-

true, the lyrics are from the Tibetan book of the dead. but john's intention for the song was to turn an acid trip into a song, so that you could trip without actually tripping. but yes, the lyrics are not acid related.
timothy leary would be proud of this thread ;D

Wrong. Here's the deal: Tomorrow Never Knows
"Tomorrow Never Knows" is the final track of The Beatles' 1966 studio album Revolver, but it was the first to be recorded for the album. Though the songwriting credit is Lennon-McCartney, the song was written primarily by John Lennon, closely adapted from Timothy Leary's book based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It is regarded as one of the first pieces of psychedelia, including highly compressed drums, reverse guitar, processed vocals and looped tape effects. Lennon told producer George Martin that he wished to sound as if he were the Dalai Lama singing from a mountain top. Geoff Emerick wired Lennon's voice through a Leslie speaker, thus obtaining the desired effect. (Lennon's earlier idea, to have a thousand Tibetan monks come to Abbey Road and chant on the record, was passed on as unfeasible.)
The song's lyrics dwell on spiritual aspects and are not readily interpreted, but the Indian philosophy behind the song is quite apparent[citation needed].
The title never actually appears in the song's lyrics, but was instead taken from Ringo Starr's interesting collection of malapropisms. Lennon chose to do this because he was embarrassed about the spiritual theme of the lyrics in the song, so he decided to give the song a throwaway title. The piece was originally titled "Mark I", although "The Void" was at one point a working title.
-
Great facts there Junior. I would of liked to hear it with the Tibetan monks chanting.
-
Check it, my friend. If this is true, it's got to be one of my favorite favorite Beatlefacts. Check it: The song is the first by The Beatles to feature experimentation (in this case brought on by Paul McCartney) with tape loops. Many of the more prominent loops sound somewhat like laughing seagulls (Paul McCartney's laughter played backwards and sped up) and an Indian musical instrument. How the f*** cool is that. I know there is the 'Hammer Of The Gods', but nothing, NOTHING, compares to the Beatles Reality,l Myth, Legend, Jesus.
-
i was wrong, sorry bout that.
-
i was wrong, sorry bout that.
Sorry about what?? Good lord, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have had any idea that happened--the Paul laughing bit--and how cool is that? Sometimes the coolest things we experience are by chance, and this is one of them, at least for a Beatlegeek. Nicely done.
-
the paul laughing bit? are you sure you're not confusing me with someone else?
-
I know there is the 'Hammer Of The Gods', but nothing, NOTHING, compares to the Beatles Reality,l Myth, Legend, Jesus.
What you going on about there?
-
the paul laughing bit? are you sure you're not confusing me with someone else?
I'm not confusing you with someone else. After the posts about whether it was about him tripping or an audio trip or whatever, I just did a Google search and found out about the Paul/Seagulls thing, which I think is cool as hell. Just when you think you've heard everything.
Aside to the Master: What I was saying is that people have their favorite groups, I just used Zeppelin as an example, but no one can come close to the Beatles' story--what they did, how they did it, the myths, their legend, etc. Jesus was an exclamation. I should have put a period after Legend. A thousand pardons. And, thanks, by the way, for all of the attention of late--kind of makes me feel sorry for you if the best you can do is waste time commenting on what a jerk I am. You can do better than that, can't you?
-
aside to JF: are you going through some rough times lately because you seem to sound like you've got something on your mind. hey, if you want to talk, we're here if you do.
-
I have had nothing to do recently, I've been watching the wheels, well being a bum.
I was getting into debt with the bank and was too lazy to do anything about it. Then I got a cheque for
-
Strawberry fields forever.
the melody is so deliberate and soothing..
I am the walrus & Lucy in the sky with diamonds..
both have psychedelic imageries...
but I would have to say Tomorrow Never Knows is the most trippiest..
the droning bass line, frightening sea-gull/paul-laughing, tape loops..
Not to mention the lyrics.
-
I chose Tommorow Never Knows but Rain would be a close 2nd.
Exactly what I thought!
Glass Onion might be there somewhere too.

DEFINE-TELLY!!! 8)
-
Within You Without You, I think is really trippy.
-
Tomorrow Never Knows or Blue Jay Way I reckon.
-
Tomorow never knows, blue jay way, strawberry fields, or rich man (maybe) -baby
-
Anthology Version of Tomarrow Never Knows
-
After a reefer, Sun King normally makes me feel ... "way out" ::) :)
-
Lovely Rita some great sounds going on in the background , it's sends me when ive had a smoke ;)
-
i wasnt sure if they meant trippy as in eerie or trippy as in weird.
anyways i vote I Am The Walrus (eerie) for the string section leading into " sittinging in an....." it is very trippy wiht headphones on that strange off key violin sound
-
I personally think the song Because is pretty out there.
-
"I Am The Walrus," with a very close second to "Tomorrow Never Knows." Good lyric and I love the filter George Martin put on Lennon's voice. (Whatever it was!)
-
Lovely Rita.. especially with the breathing and background effects
-
Revolution 9. I mean come on. I can imagine what it must be like to be schizophrenic when I listen to that. Other than that, the others are too rockish to be trippy. Pink Floyd is trippy. I don't think they have anything like that really. Lyrics yes, music not so much.
-
It goes without saying that 'R9' isn't very musical in the traditional sense, and perhaps it shouldn't have been included in a Beatles album. But it was included and I like that choice, personally. When you look at the overall diversity of styles on that album it just makes its inclusion a further widening that really couldn't go much farther. I don't know what John has said about it, but I think of it as a response to certain 'experimental' things going on at the time by folks like Stockhausen and Cage. Again, on a Beatles album? Well, why not? They were always pioneers of sorts.
Trippy factor? Trippy is as trippy does. It did me fine.

A day in a life.

Strawberry Fields Forever, with I Am The Walrus a close second.
-
Tomorrow Never Knows is a song about meditation. It was adapted from 'The Tibetan Book of the Dead' By an acid tripping Lennon.
George says in the anthology that he wasn't sure if John knew he was singing about meditation when he recorded the song.
It wasn't adapted from the Tibetan Book of the Dead. It was inspired by Timothy Leary's book "The Psychedelic Experience" which was based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
-
I would choose 'Other' and say "You Know My Name Look Up the Number". They definitely had to be taking something while making that song.
-
i think i am the walrus
just because of its lyrics
-
I chose Tommorow Never Knows but Rain would be a close 2nd.
^^^^^I agree with you on that!!! That's my choice..........."Tomorrow Never Knows" is excellent head music and "Rain" is definitely the icing on the cake. Thumbs up!!!!
-
"Tommorow Never knows"
-
I voted Lucy.
Someone pretty much nailed it with one of the lyrics ... my favorite line is "Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers that grow so incredibly high"
Partly the warmth of people smiling at me, the flowers, and the way John delivers it. Put it on and listen!
Love, wal
-
Blue Way Jay (very eerie and awesomely weird)
Revolution 9 (obviously)
Strawberry Fields Forever (especially the end of it)
A Day in the Life (part leading up to Paul's part)
Tomorrow Never Knows
Flying
I Am The Walrus
Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Within You Without You
-
Has to be Tomorrow Never Knows for me. The lyrics are the trippiest I have ever heard, not to mention the music is otherworldy.
-
I would say either Tomorrow Never Knows or Blue Jay Way.
-
I Am The Walrus 8) I love it.
-
I thought the song was called Blue Jay Way. For second I thought there may be a beatles song I dont know ;D
My blunder! lol..Quite a shameful one...Must have had mindblock going on. Don't Be Long indeed! lol
