Glass Onion

(Lennon/McCartney)

Song background
Much like "I Am The Walrus", "Glass Onion" was written by John as a sort of joke for people who analyzed Beatles songs looking for meanings. The song is filled with nonsense lyrics and wild images. The title "Glass Onion" came from the name that John wanted The Iveys, a new band on the Apple label, to use. They later used "Badfinger".
