Answer: Worm

The haunting song was written by John Lennon while in a deep state of despair, mentioning both suicide and wanting to die.

3. What did the singer do all day long in "Mother Nature's Son"?

Answer: Sing

The song was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney in India after hearing a lecture by the Maharishi on the unity of man and nature.
"Born a poor young country boy, mother nature's son, all day long I'm sitting, singing songs for every one."
4. Who wrote "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except Me And My Monkey"?

Answer: John Lennon

Originally entitled, "Come On Come On", John Lennon wrote the song to clearly describe his relationship with Yoko Ono, and that they had nothing to hide.
5. Who was "Sexy Sadie"?

Answer: Maharishi

Answer: Murder

7. What world leader was mentioned in the lyrics to "Revolution 1"?

Answer: Mao

John Lennon witnessed the 1968 protest march on the American embassy in London. Some people misunderstood his lyrics to think that Lennon supported a violent revolution.

"But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao, you ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow."

Answer: Hollywood

In a tribute to his father, James McCartney, Paul wrote "Honey Pie" to sound like the music enjoyed by his dad. The demented Charles Manson also thought this song was written for him because of its reference to Hollywood.

9. Which royal title was not mentioned in "Cry Baby Cry"?

Answer: Princess

Fairy tales and specifically "Sing a Song of Sixpence" were John Lennon's inspiration for this song.
"The King of Marigold was in the kitchen cooking breakfast for the queen. The queen was in the parlor playing piano for the children of the king.
The Duchess of Kircaldy always smiling and arriving late for tea. The duke was having problems with a message at the local bird and bee."
10. Accompanied by an orchestra, only one of the Beatles sang "Good Night". Which of the Fab Four performed the last song on the album?
