Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He come groovin' up slowly
He got joo joo eyeballs
He one holy rollers
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker
He just do what he please
He got toe jam football
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 bad production
He got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard
He one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
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's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
Come together, yeah
The song "Come Together" by The Love Me Do's is a classic rock song with iconic lyrics. The song begins with the introduction of a character known as "old flat top" who has an unusual appearance, described by the lyrics as "joo joo eyeballs" and hair "down to his knee." He is also depicted as a "joker" who does what he pleases. Throughout the rest of the song, additional descriptors are provided, such as "walrus gumboot" and "spinal cracker." Despite being portrayed in such an interesting manner, the character is presented as someone to look up to, as he has a sense of freedom and individuality that is celebrated.
The song, while seemingly nonsensical, has been interpreted in various ways by fans and critics over the years. One possible explanation is that "old flat top" could represent a countercultural hero who defies societal norms and expectations. The lyrics suggest that he is an individual who isn't afraid to be different, who values independence and creativity, and who stands for something bigger than himself. The call to "come together" could be seen as a way of unifying like-minded individuals who share these same values and beliefs.
