Cooking meat usually kills any parasites who live in the meat - don’t these people cook their walrus meat??

I always liked Lennon’s use of a Cello in that song.
It provided a strong, menacing dirge-like drive contrasted with all the surrounding flutter of noises.
The cello took the place of a bass or trombone.

The Walrus-is-Paul people say the sound of the cello was mimicking the sound of an ambulance.

I think it is the first Beatles song I remember from when I was four of five years old. I always thought it was because of the lyrics, now I know it was because of the music.

And the noise, deep down it is that song that probably influenced me more than any other.

The noise, I loved that noise.

Wouldn’t want a walrus as a parasite living in your gut.

Dreamed I was an Eskimo
Frozen wind began to blow
Under my boots ‘n around my toe
Frost had bit the ground below
It was a hundred degrees below zero

And my mama cried
And my mama cried
Nanook, a-no-no
Nanook, a-no-no
Don’t be a naughty Eskimo
Save your money, don’t go to the show

Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said oh, oh oh
Well I turned around and I said ho, ho
And the northern lights commenced to glow
And she said, with a tear in her eye
Watch out where the huskies go, and don’t you eat that yellow snow
Watch out where the huskies go, and don’t you eat that yellow snow

Yeah, I'd ask for really well done if it were my first time trying it.

Someone should ask Nanook Obama if he ever ate whale meat.
