===="I Am the Walrus"====
"[[I Am the Walrus]]" was Lennon's main contribution to the film and was primarily inspired by both his experiences with LSD and [[Lewis Carroll]]'s poem "[[The Walrus and the Carpenter]]"{{sfn|Spitz|2005|p=721}} from ''[[Through the Looking Glass]]''.{{sfn|Gould|2007|pp=443–45}} The impetus came from a fan letter Lennon received from a student at his former high school, [[Calderstones School|Quarry Bank]], in which he learned that an English literature teacher there was interpreting the Beatles' lyrics in a scholarly fashion. Amused by this, Lennon set out to write a lyric that would confound analysis from scholars and music journalists.{{sfn|Everett|1999|p=133}} In addition to drawing on Carroll's imagery and Shakespeare's ''King Lear'', he reworked a nursery rhyme from his school days,{{sfn|Courrier|2009|p=191}} and referenced [[Edgar Allan Poe]]{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|p=267}} and (in the vocalised "googoogajoob"s) [[James Joyce]].{{sfn|Everett|1999|p=138}} Author Jonathan Gould describes "I Am the Walrus" as "the most overtly 'literary' song the Beatles would ever record",{{sfn|Gould|2007|p=444}} while MacDonald deems it "[Lennon's] ultimate anti-institutional rant&nbsp;– a damn-you-England tirade that blasts education, art, culture, law, order, class, religion, and even sense itself".{{sfn|MacDonald|2005|p=267}}
