Magical Mystery Tour is the ninth studio album by The Beatles, released in 1967.It began as the soundtrack for the film of the same name. This proved problematic, as the Magical Mystery Tour movie only had six songs, too few to make up an album. In the UK, it was decided to release it as a package with two extended play 45 RPM singles, with three songs on each disc. While this was a reasonable solution for the British market, where EPs were common, the EP 45 format had never really taken off in America. Capitol Records dealt with the dilemma by making MMT an album, padding it out by adding five songs that were previously released on singles in 1967, with the film soundtrack being Side One and the singles filling up Side Two (similar to how previous Beatles soundtrack albums were formatted in the UK).note "I Am the Walrus" was the B-Side of "Hello Goodbye", but since it's in the film too, it went onto Side One of the album and was included on the EP release.In a rare case for Beatles releases (and 1960's British music as a whole), the US album has since become the definitive version of the release, owing largely to the greater number of tracks, including two ("Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane") that were originally intended for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band; as British convention in the 1960's dictated that singles were not to be included on any studio albums, the inclusion of past singles on the American release helped made it feel more fleshed out without seeming redundant when put up against the band's UK studio albums.After years as a popular import in Britain, the American album officially became the canonical version of the project when it was included as part of the 1987 Compact Disc reissue series, which had strictly featured the British studio albums up to that point. It was also the last Beatles album to have different British and American tracklistings. The final compilation album of non-album tracks for the U.S. market would be the Rarities compilation in 1980, which would eventually be superseded in 1988 by the Past Masters compilation.Unlike the Magical Mystery Tour film, which was heavily criticised upon release, this album was an immediate critical and commercial success. This makes it an example of a Cult Soundtrack more popular than the film itself. | |

Non Sequitur | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_1495d0e6 | comment |
A major "clue" of the "Paul is dead" theory was John supposedly muttering "I buried Paul" near the end of Strawberry Fields Forever, though more sober minds recognized it as "cranberry sauce", a typical Lennon Non Sequitur. The outtake version of the song on The Beatles Anthology featured the full unadorned Ringo drum freakout at the end, and "cranberry sauce" is much more clearly heard there. | |

Title Drop | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_18d15922 | comment |
The phrase "your mother should know" was originally a line in the 1961 film adaptation of the Shelagh Delaney play A Taste of Honey, in reference to coming clean about an unplanned pregnancy. It also calls to mind the band covering the song "A Taste of Honey" on Please Please Me, which was written for the Broadway production of the play. | |

Villain Song | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Villain Song: "I Am The Walrus", by accident. John Lennon based the title on the Lewis Carroll poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter", but he didn't know at the time that the walrus was the villain. He went on to say that "I Am the Carpenter" wouldn't be as catchy, however. | |

Alice Allusion | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_1da3a484 | comment |
"I Am The Walrus" is loaded with these. For starters, the title is an Alice Allusion to The Walrus and the Carpenter from Through the Looking Glass. The opening line seems to be a parody of the opening line of the Folk Music standard "Marching to Pretoria" ("I'm with you and you're with me, and so we are all together"). The line about "yellow matter custard" is a reference to a playground nursery rhyme that goes "Yellow matter custard, green slop pie, All mixed together with a dead dog's eye, Slap it on a butty, ten foot thick, Then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick". The repeated use of "I'm crying" seems to be a nod to "Ooo Baby Baby" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, of all things (Lennon hugely idolized Robinson). Later the song tells us we "should've seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe". Near the end lines from a BBC audio play performance of King Lear can be heard. | |

Sampling | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_515eeccc | comment |
Sampling: The first few seconds of "Strawberry Fields Forever" are made up of flute samples, played on a Mellotron. It was an analogue sampler with different instruments sampled to tape. So when one pushed a key, the tape was played. This made the whole thing huge and as the tapes were being played all the time, it had the tendency to go out of tune after a while. "I Am The Walrus" samples a BBC radio production of King Lear. | |

Fake-Out Fade-Out: Happens during "Strawberry Fields Forever", where the music returns again and John is heard muttering "cranberry sauce". "Hello, Goodbye" seems to have ended at one point, then after a brief pause the band jams out and chants something like "hey-la, hey aloha" (since "aloha" famously means "hello" and "goodbye" in Hawaiian, it fits, and the video reinforces this with some hula dancers joining the band). | |

Formula-Breaking Episode: "Baby, You're a Rich Man" was the first Parlophone-era Beatles song entirely recorded and mixed outside of an EMI studio, having been tracked at Olympic Sound in London (the favored studio of The Rolling Stones (Band) and Jimi Hendrix).note Previously, "Can't Buy Me Love" and the two German songs were recorded at EMI's Paris studio, with overdubs at Abbey Road, while "Fixing a Hole" had its basic track recorded at Regent Sound in London, because Abbey Road was all booked up that day, but they still finished overdubbing and mixing at Abbey Road. | |

No Sense of Direction: The narrator's friends in "Blue Jay Way". Truth in Television not only because George based the song on a real incident, but Blue Jay Way is part of the "Bird Streets", a neighborhood in the hills above Hollywood that's locally notorious for having a number of narrow, winding streets jutting in-between ravines, so it would be easy to get lost on a foggy night if you're not familiar with the area, particularly in the pre-GPS/Google Maps era. | |

Real Life Writes the Plot | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: "Penny Lane" was inspired by a real-life street in Liverpool that is now a tourist attraction. "Strawberry Fields" in "Strawberry Fields Forever" is a Salvation Army children's home where Lennon used to play in the garden as a child. "Blue Jay Way" was also inspired by real events. It was written when George was waiting in a house he was renting on Blue Jay Way in Los Angeles for former Beatle PR man Derek Taylor.note Blue Jay Way itself now has its name painted on the curb rather than being on a street sign, because Beatles fans kept stealing the sign | |

Continuity Nod: "All You Need is Love" — they begin singing "She Loves You" as the song fades out. "Yesterday" can also be heard at the end of "All You Need is Love". The promotional music video for "Hello Goodbye" was one of these, jumping between the band on stage wearing their early, mop-tops-and-suits look and their colorful Sgt. Pepper uniforms. | |

| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_af3be43f | comment |
Mundane Horror: "Blue Jay Way" has this feeling. It's simply about George worrying that his friend Derek Taylor and his wife might've gotten lost on their way to visit him on a foggy Los Angeles night, but it's set to a very dark, foreboding melody with lots of unsettling musical flourishes. | |

Indecipherable Lyrics | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_bb225804 | comment |
Indecipherable Lyrics: There's various overlapping chants towards the end of "I Am the Walrus". A popular interpretation of one of the more audible ones is "everybody smoke pot!", which is close enough since it's actually "Everybody's got one, got one, got one" (the other one is "Oompah oompah stick it up your jumper"). | |

Last Note Nightmare | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_bda474d2 | comment |
Last Note Nightmare: The dissonant swirling effects at the end of "Flying" and "Blue Jay Way". "Strawberry Fields Forever" is the canonical example. It fades out with a gorgeous swarmandal (a zither-like Indian instrument) before fading back in with a dissonant mellotron, vicious drumming, trumpets that sound like ambulance sirens, and (most disturbingly) John Lennon's slowed-down voice saying "CRANBERRY SAUCE." Even worse if you're a little kid and you think it's "I buried Paul." Ever since then, that song's end is the sound of death. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "All You Need Is Love" starts off with the first bars of the French national anthem "La Marseillaise" and ends with musical quotes from Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Miller's "In The Mood" and the Beatles own "Yesterday" and "She Loves You". Also heard is "Greensleeves" on strings, but it's kind of hard to make out. "I Am The Walrus" is loaded with these. For starters, the title is an Alice Allusion to The Walrus and the Carpenter from Through the Looking Glass. The opening line seems to be a parody of the opening line of the Folk Music standard "Marching to Pretoria" ("I'm with you and you're with me, and so we are all together"). The line about "yellow matter custard" is a reference to a playground nursery rhyme that goes "Yellow matter custard, green slop pie, All mixed together with a dead dog's eye, Slap it on a butty, ten foot thick, Then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick". The repeated use of "I'm crying" seems to be a nod to "Ooo Baby Baby" by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, of all things (Lennon hugely idolized Robinson). Later the song tells us we "should've seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe". Near the end lines from a BBC audio play performance of King Lear can be heard. The phrase "your mother should know" was originally a line in the 1961 film adaptation of the Shelagh Delaney play A Taste of Honey, in reference to coming clean about an unplanned pregnancy. It also calls to mind the band covering the song "A Taste of Honey" on Please Please Me, which was written for the Broadway production of the play. | |

Faux Symbolism | |
| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_e63f5f28 | comment |
Faux Symbolism: Deliberately invoked with "I Am The Walrus," written after John received a letter from a student who attended Lennon's old primary school about an English master there who was forcing his students to analyse the band's Word Salad Lyrics. Upon finishing the song, complete with his classic "first-thing-you-see" lyrics, Lennon turned to his friend and said "let the fuckers work that one out!". The completely random and nonsense line "semolina pilchard" is a reference to semolina pudding and pilchard sardine cans, according to John's childhood friend, Pete Shotton circa 1983. Another interpretation is that it is a Take That! to Moral Guardian Detective Norman Pilcher, who was more fanatical about arresting pop stars on drugs charges than about smaller things like actually following the rule of law, and had arrested both John and George on separate occasions. It's also been argued that "I Am The Walrus" is Lennon's response to the death of Brian Epstein; it was the first recording they made after his death, less than ten days before they first went into the studio to make this song. | |

| Magical Mystery Tour (Music) / int_f0e85546 | comment |
Unbuilt Trope: Just as "Tomorrow Never Knows" could be considered a proto-Industrial song, the uptempo sections of "Strawberry Fields Forever" sound like an early attempt at House Music, with Ringo's loud, repetitive syncopated drum beats and the general trippy atmosphere, so much so that Alternative Dance duo Candy Flip had a hit with their 1990 Cover Version and really didn't have to alter the arrangement very much. The cover, with the band in their "I Am The Walrus" costumes, spliced onto a colored background, with gaudy fonts ("Beatles" written in stars and "Magical Mystery Tour" in curvy rainbow lettering) almost looks like a modern meme. | |

Canon Immigrant: The American version, which added the band's 1967 singles to Side 2 in order to make it a full album, solving the problem the Beatles had with the soundtrack in the first place (there were not enough songs in the movie for an album, and there was almost no incidental music to pad it with). The American version is now the canonical version, so much so that nearly all post-1987 reissues of the albumnote barring a 1992 Japan-only reissue and the 2012 collector's edition of the film in all regions, both of which use the double-EP version use the American cover art (complete with the "Includes 24-page full color picture book" line below what was the double-EP cover) and the disc label on remastered CDs is modeled after the Capitol Records LP label that was in use at the time of the album's original release (rather than the 7" Parlophone Records label seen on the UK release). | |

Brick Joke: Lennon sings he is the walrus in "I Am The Walrus". Little Nicola (a character from the movie) however claims, according to the booklet of the album, he is not. The answer was finally solved with "Glass Onion" on The White Album, where John sings: "And here's another clue for you all/ the walrus was Paul." In "God" from John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band he again changed the identity, by saying: "I was the walrus. But now I'm John." (In case anyone's wondering, yes, that's Lennon in the walrus costume.) | |
