The White Album/YMMV
- Base Breaker: "Revolution 9". For some, it's brillant and revolutionary; for others, it's a horrid and irriating mess.
- Crowning Music of Awesome
- Faux Symbolism: Again "Glass Onion".
- Misaimed Fandom:
- "Glass Onion" was intended as sarcastic attack on all those Beatle fans who sought for hidden messages and meanings in their songs.
- Sadly, American serial killer Charles Manson still managed to interpret the lyrics of the songs "Piggies", "Revolution 1", "Revolution 9", "I Will", "Honey Pie", "Blackbird" and "Helter Skelter" as a message to start murdering other people. For his Cloudcuckoolander interpretations, see this link.
- Nightmare Fuel: "Revolution 9".
- Sweet Dreams Fuel: "Good Night".
- Tear Jerker: "Blackbird", "Julia", "Long, Long, Long", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Good Night", "Mother Nature's Son", "Dear Prudence".
- What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?: Partially subverted with the making of "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" which John Lennon, high on pot, growled he didn't like the song's preliminary slow tempo and instead went to a piano and bashed out the introduction in a louder and faster tempo. As it turns out, the rest of the band agreed that sounded better and they recorded the song with that tempo in mind.
