I watched Magical Mystery Tour with my cousins over xmas, with "I am the Walrus" obviously being the best song. I decided to look it up online and besides the obvious that John wrote the majority of it on two separate acid trips, I found this about the Eggman:

Who was the Eggman?

Eric Burdon, lead singer of The Animals, is claimed by some to be the 'Eggman'. The reason for this is that Burdon was known as 'Eggs' to his friends, originating from his fondness for breaking eggs over naked girls. Burdon's biography mentions such an affair taking place in the presence of John Lennon, who shouted "Go on, go get it, Eggman..."[11]

Just spectacular, we have enough bachelor parties coming for this to be pulled off - we need to make this happen, preferably on film.
