    What song featured this line in it, "Elementary penquin singing Hare Krishna"?

    Question #118614. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (Nov 06 10 5:28 PM)

    		I am the Walrus -- Beatles

    The only lyric in the song where Lennon was serious is the first line, where he describes his belief in unity of all things. Lennon invented the line 'elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna' as a jibe at Allen Ginsberg who chanted Hare Krishna at public rallies, and the walrus came from the Lewis Carroll poem, The Walrus and The Carpenter."

    The names of many elements end in "ium." These punny clues lead to some words ending in "ium" that are not really elements. An example is given in the first question. This quiz was inspired by a bit on the PBS show "A Way with Words."
