Talk:Rocky Raccoon

message: An old guy at work named Paul says he believes this song is related to a statement made by one of the Beatles that they were "bigger than Jesus", which caused the Vatican to verbally slap them down with their own statements.  He says Rockey is the Beatle and Dan is the Catholic church.  Anyone else ever hear this?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.148.165.45 (talk) 01:07, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

message: On 3 Sep 2007, an anonymous editor changed the name that appears in the lead sentence and commented in the edit summary that "racoon" is the proper UK spelling. I can't comment on that: I don't know how the word is spelled in the UK. I do know that (1) the USA album has "Raccoon", (2) the USA CD has "Raccoon", and (3) the discography by Lewisohn in Complete Recording Sessions has "Raccoon". Together, that indicates to me that the proper title is "Rocky Raccoon" and so I have reverted the edit. John Cardinal 01:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:The White Album.jpg

message: The article says Rocky was 'punched in the eye', there is no mention of this in the song, only a metaphor about his despair 'Rocky was hit in the eye'. In the context of the song I'm sure most folks would agree that he wasn't literally hit by Dan. Before you yell at me just read the lyrics to the song, it's well before any reference to the showdown. Until someone confirms that it means signs of a fight between Rocky and Dan I think we can safely assume that it isn't. Thanks!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.215.191.35 (talk) 12:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Could someone explain how "Gideon checked out/but he left it no doubt/to help with good Rocky's revival" becomes "takes it as a sign from God on his deathbed"? This statement is unsourced, is far from self-evident, and smacks of original research. I intend to remove it, unless there is some justification forthcoming. Thanks. --Daveler16 (talk) 17:02, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
