    It has to be one of the hardest songs to perform A Capella, but they did a great job. Was it for a competition, if so they deserved first prize.

    Great performance! I love it!!
    George Martin, the Beatles producer, included “I Am The Walrus” on his 1998 “In My Life” album. From the album’s liner notes, George Martin shared the following account:
    “Let’s face it, George,” John once said, “I don’t expect to walk into a bar in Spain and hear someone whistling ‘I Am The Walrus’.” He knew it wasn’t exactly easy listening.

    I think it’s safe to say that this choir exceeded John Lennon’s expectations. 😅

      Of the millions of us who were blessed with seeing them on Jack Parr and Ed Sullivan, the elite fans, such as yourself, hold a special place in history. Have you ever considered writing a memoir of your experience seeing the fab four before they got famous? I'd read it. Thanks for sharing.

      It starts out as "Oompah oompah, stick it up your jumpa," as heard here, then switches to "Got one, got one, everybody's got one." It's very clear on the isolated tracks which you can hear on RUclips.
