Uh well let's see.. Radio Free Europe was probably REM's "breakout" song.
"Everybody's got something to hide" is a pretty throw-away track on an admittedly great Beatles album... which by rights makes it very very excellent, but is it really more significant? Hmmm. Smarter critics than me can debate that...
It's not like we're comparing "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" to "Radio Free Europe"... right? =)
Speaking of significance, as a physician I say, "everybody's got something to hide" pretty frequently to let someone who has disclosed something dicey that I, and everyone else, is right there with them. Every once in a while, one of the folks in the room responds with a wry little smile, or "Except you ..." or "Except me ,,,". If the situation is right (once), I respond wth "Darn monkey" and remind the two of us that there was a time, so very long ago.

I rate this a 10. Production and construction is incredible. Rock on John.

The thing about the White Album is that it covers everything. It has great music (Dear Prudence, to name but great one song), deliberately crappy music (Why Don't We Do It in the Road?), difficult music (this tune), even non-music music (Revolution 9), etc. It covers every rock sub-genre ever invented, and some that never were, and some that still might be. It's an entire lifetime's worth of music in about 80 minutes (it almost fits on a single CD).
So think of it this way: Only the Beatles could make you enjoy listening to bad music. That's why the White Album is the greatest record ever made.
Love The Beatles, grew up with The Beatles, my kids love The Beatles . . . But The White Album had some challenges and this one was one of those for me . . .

Some people say the Beatles are pretty good, but I'd like to point out that there are some parts of this song that do not have any cowbell.

Exactly right: all of the above are facets of life. If you despise some of them, close your ears.

I read that interview too, but I think John may have been being coy. The song is full of drug references. In the Lennon movie he told the "fan" who showed up at his door that his songs didn't mean anything. Like most songwriters, I think he wants the interpretation of his songs to be up to the individual listener rather than say "OK, here is the exact meaning of this song; there is no other option". So HIAWG may have been inspired by a Gun mag, but I'm pretty sure it's really about heroin. I mean come on . . .

While this is a good explanation, it is not what the song is about. According to John, in some other interview, the song is about sex. He wrote it while being away from Yoko in the early phase of their relationship, and was missing the physical aspect of that relationship.
This song is not only a perfect little pop gem, but it also fits perfectly into the entire album. George Martin rules almost as much as the Fab Four!

Interesting. I assume their lyrics are musical in the sense they are tunes and sounds, not "poetry" or meaningful statemeants -- with some exceptions, such as "Yesterday" or "Revolution." What Lennon says is just what he says ("We were just a nifty pop band," which is true, really). I find almost nothing of much interest in his lyrics, plenty of dry wit, lots of sentiments, psychedelia, but little "meaning."

John Lennon's been quoted on both these songs. "Happiness is a Warm Gun" was a cover John saw on a Guns & Ammo type mag.
And as for this song, John has said his "monkey" was Yoko!
BTW This is the Beatles song M. Jackson needed to record. Not "Come Together" It would have been effin' hilarious.

In my opinion, not one of the best tracks on the album. Purely because it's rivaling with songs like Dear Prudence, I'm So Tired and Blackbird...Everyone should own this album.
In my opinion, this track is definitely not one of the best on the album, but the white album is definately a must have.

Doesn't Jackson own the rights to pretty much every Beatles song?
Jackson owns the PUBLISHING rights to most of the early Beatles catalog...stuff that was originally published by Northen Songs LTD. I believe the Beatles still own everyting origianlly published under their own "Apple" label.
Publishing rights mean he owns the rights to sheet music and the use of music for cover versions etc.....not the actual recorded songs, which are owned by EMI. That's why whenever you hear a Beatles song in a commerical or movie, it's a cover version. MJ owns the rights to those.
I don't think Sony has majority ownership yet...although Jackson's financial problems may lead him to sell soon.
Everyone loves the Beatles!
I've always loved this tune!!
