Now, seriously...

What the hell does “goo goo g’joob” mean, anyway?

Let the games begin.

koo koo koo joob!

"He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is
You got to be free
Come together, right now
Over me..." --Lennon/McCartney

(not the same song, but in the same cosmic space)

"...and here's another clue for you all...
The Walrus was Paul..." --Lennon/McCartney

I dunno about the egg man. Mebbe the egg man laid some
Koo koo koo joob... I don't think I ever understood.
But I dug it, man...

 

[Gahr]

And here I always thought it was "koo koo koo choo"! It means roughly the same as "be bop-a-lula".

 

[Sérgio]

Some say it was supposed to be coo coo kachoo, but the written lyrics state otherwise

 

[Hackmaster]

Someone will have to ask Mrs. Robinson about koo koo kachoo.

 

[eSGEe]

is it Portuguese?

 

[Hackmaster]

is it Portuguese?

Maybe Pig Latin

 

[Chubbles]

You have to drop acid to understand.

 

[eSGEe]

perhaps written by the same fella what did the "hooka chucka hooka hooka chucka" line?

 

[Gahr]

I've posted this before. Be warned.

Better be older than 21 to speak to her safely.

Btw, maybe it has some relation to gabba gabba hey

Ive seen interviews with Sir Paul on TV and he himself said alot of the Beatles lyrics were just noncence. My all time favorite band by the way.

 

[Sérgio]

[eSGEe]

noncence

Don't worry about that, it payed the rent and they had a couple of pounds left over

I think he's scraping by, yes. If I could have the royalties from just ONE of the Beatles tunes, I'd be a happy man. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" is supposedly their biggest selling single, so I think I'll pick that one. Does anyone have Paul's number?

Times are tough for Paul, this link says he's down to his last £730,000,000 or in funny US money $1.2 billion.

Just wait a minute, I think I have it somewhere here.

I can't find it now (damnit) but I had read and anecdote at one point where Lennon was quoted as saying that "Walrus" was a response to the fact that he found out that a college was offering a course in the 'meaning' of Beatles lyrics, and he found that so distasteful that he thought he would have a go at them.
