HELTER SKELTER
(Lennon-McCartney)
1968


For some time, Paul had wanted to produce something raucous and loud.  When 
he read a review of an apparently similar sounding new single by the Who, he 
was disappointed.  When he heard the song, most likely "I Can See For 
Miles", it was nothing like the one he had in mind, so the Beatles went 
ahead with "Helter Skelter", the closest they ever got to heavy rock.  
Charles Manson found the track particularly inspiring.  As John said of the 
whole nasty business, "...I don't know what 'Helter Skelter''s got to do 
with knifing somebody.  I never listened to the words properly.  It was just 
a noise."
