I was thinking about that one too. In case you haven’t seen it, Alan W Pollack’s analysis is great: https://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/DATABASES/AWP/iatw.shtm... Despite the complex chords, the bulk of the melody is that ultra-simple two-note semitone riff (IIRC Ian MacDonald’s book says it was inspired by hearing a police siren). When John Lennon said someday they’d write a one-note song I always figured this was what he meant -- that I Am The Walrus is a “two-note song”. |
