> [@DrDeth](#): > > I never claimed it wasnt psychedelic with drug imagery. The whole claim here is that is it about LSD due to the coincidence in the title. Nope. Not the whole claim, by any means. The OP is asking opinions on whether the song is about drugs, specifically LSD, and the initials in the title are only one of the factors involved in the argument that it is. Also, you saying you never claimed the song wasn’t psychedelic with drug imagery kind of goes against your original post that started the whole thing in the original ‘Myths’ thread: > [@Myths that form about songs and bands / band members](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/myths-that-form-about-songs-and-bands-band-members/1014173/21): > > That _Puff the Magic Dragon_ or _Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds_ are about drugs. They are not. The Beatles did write some songs about drugs, that wasnt one of them. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-is-lucy-in-the-sky-with-diamonds-about-lsd-drugs-psychedelia-or-not/1015334)._
