“Come Together” is a song by The Beatles written primarily by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney.
The song is the lead-off track on The Beatles’ September 1969 album Abbey Road.
One month later it also appeared as one of the sides of the group’s twenty-first single (it was a double A-side, the other side being George Harrison’s “Something “) in the United Kingdom, their twenty-sixth in the United States.
The song reached the top of the charts in the US, while becoming a Top 10 hit in the UK.
According to the Come Together Songfacts, the whispered lyric that sounds like “shoot” is actually Lennon saying “shoot me” followed by a handclap. The bass line drowns out the “me.”
One of the most covered songs of all time, cover versions of “Come Together” have been recorded/performed by many artists — such as Aerosmith, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Soundgarden, Axl Rose & Bruce Springsteen, Elton John, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, Joe Cocker and Sugababes.

come together es una gran canción, una de las mejores de los Beatles sin duda, y aparte una de las mas bluseras del grupo, junto a Yer Blues (la mas blues), Come together toma el segundo lugar, después va Oh darling!, Revolution, I Want you (she's so Heavy), Don't Let me down etc. muy Blues, Excelente.

Supposedly there are pointed references to each of the Beatles, buried deep in the lyrics. e.g. first verse - George, second - Ringo, third - John, fourth - Paul.

Haha, I laughed so hard at the bukkake reference. Never thought of that, even though I'm immature, childish AND sick in the head :) But yeah. You would hardly believe that four white guys could write something this groovy!

did anyone ever wonder that this song could have a double meaning? firstly of course about coming together, a message to the world. but on the other side... cuming together could be a sexual aspect or inspiration for john lennon. "cum together... right now... over me". sounds kinda... eek lol
