Query: Not Meant to be taken so seriously and highly overrated

The Beatles attempted to dispel some of the artsy aura they had developed up to the time of recording this double recording. Anyone who was a good listener AT THE TIME would have noticed that many of the songs (most) are good natured spoofs of then current popular artists;(besides the obvious Beach Boys put on, they have Long, Long, Long (Bee Gees), Mother Nature's Son (Donovan) Helter Skelter (guitar groups, Hendrix in particular), Rocky Racoon (Dylan), Why Dont We Do It In The Road (Tommy James' 'I Think We're Alone Now' reference to 'tumbling to the ground,' etc.) Of course there is original stuff here also, and very good stuff it is! But the point is that this album isnt such a grand work of pop art as some might think, and , with the exception of a few songs-- I'm So Tired being a good example-- this dbl lp was a bit of a toss off that distinguishes itself less on quality than on quantity, variety and it's non-threatening facade.
