"I Am the Walrus" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1967 television film Magical Mystery Tour. Written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney, it was released as the B-side to the single "Hello, Goodbye" and on the Magical Mystery Tour EP and album.
"Hello, Goodbye" was selected as the Beatles' single for the 1967 Christmas season, [5] their first release since Epstein's death.

The original 1978 vinyl release of the soundtrack omitted some of the material. The design of the record's inner sleeve reflected the Apple/EMI 1962–1966 ("Red") and 1967–1970 ("Blue") compilation Beatles albums released in 1973, with printed lyrics, red, blue and white layouts, and the track listing for the two album sides using similar periods (side one: 1962–67, side two: 1967–70).
"When We Was Fab" has similarities to songs by the Beatles, such as "I Am the Walrus" (1967). The fadeout contains a nod to the melody of "Drive My Car". It uses a string quartet and psychedelic effects as did many Beatles songs. The lyrics reference, among other things, "You Really Got a Hold On Me" and the final lines of "Within You Without You".
