The Theme Is: Nonsense Songs

Although, I don’t know, this song makes sense to me.

I a, hi, hi, a, hi, hi, dig a pony.
Well you can celebrate anything you want.
Yes, you can celebrate anything you want.
Oh. I a, hi, hi, a, hi, hi, do a roadhog.
Well you can penetrate any place you go.
Yes, you can penetrate any place you go.

The Beatles - Dig A Pony

“Dig A Pony” was John Lennon’s only new contribution for the Let It Be album during the recording sessions, but it was the first song to be recorded during the recording sessions in 1969 at Apple Studios. However, the version that’s included on Let It Be was from the Beatles’ rooftop concert. A recording of the song was later released on Anthology 3.

The original title for the song was “All I Want Is You” because the song was mainly inspired by Yoko Ono, but it was later changed to “Dig A Pony.”

“I was just having fun with words. It was literally a nonsense song. You just take words and you stick them together, and you see if they have any meaning. Some of them do and some of them don’t.” - John Lennon

I second his songs don’t have to have a meaning thing. A song can just be a pretty song, a story just a story, a picture just a picture. I don’t like symbolism, unless it’s obvious. Symbolism beats around the bush too much. And people like to make it waaaaay to complicated.
