Trivia / Supper's Ready

• The Walrus Was Paul:
  • Gabriel's descriptions of the song do little to increase its comprehensibility. His way of announcing it at concerts was telling a tangentially-related story (involving earthworms) ending on the punchline Supper's Ready. ^note The only thing the story had to do with the song is that, near the end of the story, Gabriel would start whistling the Jerusalem hymn; both the hymn and "Supper's Ready" have to do with the Book of Revelation.
  • "Gabble Ratchet" refers to the Hounds of Hell, who are depicted in the song as Geese because medieval christian art often did so.
