Rocky Raccoon.

I just wanted to throw out one of their lesser-played songs.

Yeah, I mean Rocky Raccoon is legendary. I know it's one of me and my friends' favorite songs. A big ballad masterpiece. I guess Tommy and Rocky Raccoon were both part of a rock opera trend in 1968, not really sure.

The lyrics are amazing, with lots of double meanings, stylistic characters, and cinematic dialogue. The folksy country feeling and Paul's affected southern accent is classic. The snare drum when rocky gets shot. The twist at the end with the song ending with the listener not really knowing if Rocky dies or not. The song also inspired the Guardians of the Galaxy character, Rocket Raccoon.

They should've used it in GotG 3, honestly.
