    The song was originally done by the Beatles and was a huge hit in the Fall of 1969. I remember humming and singing along to the Beatles version without know WTF John was singing about hehehehehehehe......

    Apparently [[at least according to Wikipedia...yeah right! ) the song allegedly describes characteristics of each of the four Beatles :

    " It has been speculated that each verse refers cryptically to each of The Beatles [[e.g. "he's one holy roller" allegedly refers to the spiritually inclined George Harrison; "he got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola" to Ringo, the funny Beatle; "he got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker" to Lennon himself; and "got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see" to Paul)"

    But it goes on to talk about how people should come together as Timothy Leary advised back during that time.
