We Won't Get Fooled Again (BDJ-Retouch Remix)

from BDJ's Cellar Full of Remixes · host BDJ

"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,"To play them such a trick,After we've brought them out so far,And made them trot so quick!""O Oysters," said the Carpenter,"You've had a pleasant run!Shall we be trotting home again?'But answer came there none--And this was scarcely odd, becauseThey'd eaten every one.In Lewis Carrol's poem, the oysters were fooled once too often. By his own admission, this poem inspired John Lennon for 'I Am The Walrus'. His identification with The Walrus (who he considered to be 'the good guy') is obvious, but what about 'I am the Eggman' ? Could this refer to his sympathy for the Oysters (with their shells etc.) ? Enough about Lennon. This remix was inspired by Pete Townshend's acoustic version,which reveals how beautiful the song actually is, it doesn't need the heavy guitar fireworks to create a lasting impression.The BDJ engineers employed the newly installed 'BDJ-Retouch' equipment to isolate the acoustic guitars and vocals from the released version, and inserted an arpeggio lead guitar to replace the synthesizer/organ.Play it as loud as your neighbours will tolerate !
