Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey by The Beatles – **** First released: 1968

First released: 1968

One of my absolute favorite Beatles songs and one that doesn’t typically get to much airplay or notoriety as the "White Album" tracks tend to favor McCartney’s output rather than Lennon’s. And, when they do talk about Lennon’s material on this album, they usually discuss "Julia", "Glass Onion", "Revolution 1", "Happiness is a Warm Gun", etc. over this track. I like it because of the lengthy title (sharing honors with "Why Don’t We Do it in the Road?" off of the same album for length) and for that thumping beat rhythm. The lyrics don’t make much sense, but I’ve heard its more nonsense about the Maharishi in disguise.
