This is one of the better Beatles covers that I’ve heard. Styx does the song justice by not trying to add any greater meaning to John Lennon’s lyrics. Many people have claimed that this song was actually about the death of Paul McCartney in an auto accident and how the Beatles replaced him with a look-alike but Lennon always said that most of the lyrics were just meant to be nonsense. Lennon went as far as to cite Lewis Carroll as being the main inspiration for the song.
The trippy music video is fun and cheesy at the same time. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the name of the video’s director.
Enjoy!
