Come Together
Los Hijos de Frida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He come grooving up slowly
He got Joo Joo eye-ball
He one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine
He got monkey finger
He shoot Coca-Cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you
Is you got to be free
Come together, right now, over me
He bag production
He got walrus gumboot
He got O-no side board
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair
You can feel his disease
Come together, right now, over me
He roller coaster
He got early warning
He got Muddy Water
He one Mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking
'Cause he so hard to see
Come together, right now, over me
Let's come together
Come together
Let's come together
Come together
(End)
Los Hijos de Frida's rendition of "Come Together" is an ode to the legendary rock band, The Beatles. The lyrics describe and pay homage to the enigmatic character, Mr. Flat Top, who is described as "grooving up slowly" and sporting a quirky sense of style. He is characterized by his long hair, bare feet, and eccentric habits such as shooting Coca-Cola and having a "monkey finger." The song urges the listener to "come together" and to be free, with the repeated line, "Come together, right now, over me."
The lyrics are not only an homage to The Beatles and Mr. Flat Top but also a reflection on the 1960s counterculture movement, which emphasized communal living and breaking free from the constraints of mainstream society. The song encourages the idea of unity and connectedness. The phrase "Come together, right now, over me" invites people to join together and celebrate their differences.
