"Come Together" by The Beatles, which was released in 1969, is a song that provides a general social message to join forces to overcome adversity. The song starts with the description of the central character that is flat- top, grooving slowly with joo joo eyballs, being a holy roller, having hair down to his knee, and being a joker who does whatever he pleases. Despite being unique and unusual, he does not care for societal norms and adopts a quirky lifestyle. The chorus that follows, "Come Together right now over me," emphasizes the need for universal unity, asking the world to set aside their differences and come together in harmony.
The next verse sheds light on the character's peculiarities – not wearing shoeshine, having toe jam football, monkey fingers, shooting Coca Cola. However, he still accepts people, as when he says: "I know you, you know me." Overall, the song provides an essential message asking people to put their differences aside and come together as one nation. The complexity of the characters in the verses expresses the diverse nature of culture and lifestyles in the world.
