No, Paul was not the walrus. Not on the album cover - that walrus is John. Paul is the hippo - note the wristwatch on the right arm, where a left-handed person wears one. Paul of course was the only lefty in the band.
I am the Walrus was released on the Oasis compilation album Masterplan. It is a cover of a Beatles song on The magical mystery tour album.
Hippo, Rabbit, Bird, Walrus
George Harrison
I'm not quite sure, but I believe that it goes like this: Ringo - Rooster George - Rabbit John - Walrus Paul - Hippo There is a lot of dispute though. In the video for "I Am The Walrus", the Walrus is the one playing piano and singing, and the hippo is playing bass. However, in the song "Glass Onion", John Lennon sings this line: I told you 'bout the walrus and me, man You know that we're as close as can be, man And here's another clue for you all The walrus was Paul So now we are made to believe that Paul is the walrus. Lennon later contradicts this in his solo song "God", when he sings: I was the walrus, but now I'm John. So we're told that John was the walrus. George Harrison, however, made a promo video for the song "When We Was Fab" in which a guy in a walrus costume is playing a left handed bass, again making us believe Paul was the walrus. The main reason anyone cares is because of the famous "Paul is dead" hoax. It is believed the walrus is a symbolic reference to death in many cultures. However, I know for a fact that John was the walrus in Magical Mystery Tour as he sang "I Am The Walrus" and the walrus is singing and playing piano.
