I am the Walrus revisited: Walrus_2222

Once upon a time, many years ago, before the invention of the internet, youtube and Simon Cowell, there lived a group of Liverpudlians who sang their hearts, got very rich and asked the Queen Mother of England to rattle her jewellery at one of their concerts. At the time there was a television station (you remember TV right?) called the BBC who reluctantly agreed to allow the fabulous four to produce their own TV movie, without first checking if someone had written a screenplay, or if J P G and R had any idea of what they were doing. This disastrous decision resulted, of course, in the making of Magical Mystery Tour, with Paul wearing the mask of a walrus, some so from total embarrasment.

Since those days many things have changed. If you look, for instance, on Gmail you will find many, many walruses including walrus_2222. So here then is my revised version of the song.
