Now, we all know that Joan was quizzical, and studied metaphysical science in the home.
But then they go on to tell us that
The Beatles said:
Late nights all alone with a test-tube
Ohh-oh-oh-oh...
Now in my innocence I would never question it, but now that I'm older, wiser and hornier, were they insinuating Joan gets off with her test-tubes?

Also: "I want to hold your hand" is nothing short of a hand-fetish anthem.

GAF Exclusive - Proof that The Beatles were more perverted than Freud himself.

Norwegian Wood is sort of subtly disturbing. He goes to a girls house, doesn't sleep with her, and then burns shit. WTF?

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) by John, tells of an affair that he had. Lennon said in 1970 that he was trying to write about an affair without letting his wife (then Cynthia) know that he was writing about an affair. Although the theme is obvious, I guess at the time, Cynthia did not realize he was conveying an actual event. With Norwegian Wood, it was the first time that George Harrison played his sitar on a Beatles recording. It was recorded on October 21, 1965.

No, Joan was a bookworm. Read (or listen) to the lyrics following it.
