Yes it was, because you know why? Then they came back with I'm A Monkey. I see a lot of this myself. Because I'm here from Nuclear Warrior the world's ONLY Original Words & Music 90% of the world is awlready based off my Work.

John said he was writing about himself and Yoko. He said in an interview that he was referring to Yoko as his monkey because people kept putting her down.
I think it is a song about sex, plain and simple.
I think the word "monkey" can have more than one meaning in this song. Ever hear the expression "slap the monkey"? He ain't talking about slapping Yoko.
The lyrics state
"Your inside is out when your outside is in Your outside is in when your inside is out so C'mon. C'mon. C'mon it's such a joy, c'mon it's such a joy, " etc.
The first couple of lines above sound like intercourse to me.
John enjoyed double entendres such as in Please Please Me. IMO when he sings, "C'mon it's such joy" he's really saying "coming is such a joy."

Anyway if you want to see what could possibly be a World Exclusive on the stage I saw Beatles perform off. You don't have to enter your email or anything.

A voice of knowledge and reason. Thank you. I did a concert bigger and better than Woodstock, the 1974 California Jam, and my band Nuclear Warrior taught John Lennon how to read & write and taught Jimi Hendrix how to strum his guitar.

I have thought also that the song was about sex. I thought monkey was a slang term in the song for John's organ and I don't mean the instrument. IIRC having a "monkey on your back" can be a slang term for a herion addiction and I do think it ironic that Yoko eventually introduced John to heroin although I do not think the song itself is about heroin and how joyous it is. It is the irony of the later addiction.

John wouldn't admit it was about TRS. I think it's kind of hard to explain away.
I had always heard it was a reference to the Two Virgins album cover. Although considering the timeline, maybe it was written before they decided to put that cover out, I'm not sure.

I think that is a valid thought, although IIRC the Two Virgins album was issued after the song. It would have been interesting if J & Y did an album with those famous nude pictures and called the album "Everybody's Got Something to HIde Except for me and my Monkey."
> IIRC the Two Virgins album was issued after the song.
Two Virgins came out a week after The White Album, according to my brief Google search. That doesn't mean the song isn't about the cover necessarily though. It could have been conceived much earlier. Maybe John even knew the two albums would be coming out around the same time? Did John show the other Beatles the cover in advance to try to get their approval, or even to warn them of the controversy?
I always thought the quote from Ringo was funny when John first showed him the cover. Something like "Oh, you've got the Times on there. Like his dick wasn't out".

Ringo could be very witty at times. I think of him as the Yogi Berra of the Beatles.
To answer your question "Did John show the other Beatles the cover in advance . . . ." didn't the album include a supportive quote from Paul? Maybe I'm getting confused with something else. If the album included a supportive quote from Paul, then Paul knew in advance at some point.
