“Everybody’s Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey”

After the calm “Mother Nature’s Son” this came at you like a gut punch. Apparently there was a published cartoon showing John and a monkey (Yoko?) with its claws dug into his back, so he decided to have some fun with that notion. I don’t know, but to me that kinda summed up their relationship at the time. It’s been claimed the song also described Lennon’s heroin habit. Regardless, it was a pretty hard rocker.
