The song "Helter Skelter" from the "The Beatles" (the White album) is supposed to have set him off or motivated him to commit the Tate murders. A "Helter Skelter" is a fairground ride, but Manson interpreted it something different. He also seems to have read something into "Piggies" that was not there. George Harrison says that in "Piggies", he was only having a swipe at the greed of the middle and upper classes in England.
