ABOUT THE SONG
"Maharishi, you little twat
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Oh, you cunt."
John Lennon
The ukulele version is a family affair. MDMA, cocaine, Black Afghani hashish and raw grain alcohol all came together to unite the double-vision of this recording.
