Helter Skelter (song)

"Helter Skelter" is a song written by Paul McCartney, credited to Lennon–McCartney, and recorded by The Beatles on their eponymous LP The Beatles, better known as The White Album. A product of McCartney's deliberate effort to create a sound as loud and dirty as possible, the clangorous piece has been noted for both its "proto-metal roar" and "unique textures" and is considered by music historians as a key influence in the development of heavy metal. The song was ranked #52 on the Rolling Stone magazine's "The Beatles 100 Greatest songs" list.
