Lucy in the sky with diamonds….

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” is a song by English rock band The Beatles, primarily written by John Lennon (credited toLennon/McCartney) for the group’s 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.[1]

At the time of its release, the Beatles claimed that the inspiration for the song came from a drawing by John Lennon’s son, Julian, which Julian called “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”. The song sparked controversy when released, including being banned by the BBC because of the supposed reference to the drug LSD,[2] with the first letter of each noun in the title spelling LSD. Although Lennon denied that the L-S-D in the title was a reference to the drug,[3] McCartney later said it was “pretty obvious” that the song was inspired by LSD.[4]

So does Lucy Agrees to fly in the sky with the diamonds?
