Greensleeves

For hundreds of years, chin-stroking scholarly types have mulled over the meaning of that old time folk toe-tapper known as Greensleeves. Some reckon Henry VIII wrote it in a rare bout of poetic whimsy, some think it’s a sorrowful lament for lost love and some think it’s about nature and plants and things like that. 

So what is Greensleeves really about? Well, the clue is in the name — it’s about this man here and his green sleeves. Simple really. 

Similarly, I am the Walrus was actually about how John Lennon was actually a large marine mammal all along.
