"Rocky Raccoon"

The Beatles used many examples to portray the wild west. For example, they state how it started at the black mining hills, then into the town at a local saloon and a hoedown, they also said that Rocky Raccoon was equipped with a gun ready to shot off the legs of his rival; back then in the wild west you earned your name by a shootout and killing people. The tough ones were also always named by challenging two or more men in a shoot-out. Another thing the Beatles said in their song was that when the doctor came he was stinking of gin. It was knocked that men in the wild west were always drinking. Even though the Beatles portrayed the wild west through their song i don´t believe they are one-hundred percent accurate. they use many stereotypical examples. Yes. that set the setting for the song and it was easy to see it but they could of also added a couple of stuff to make it better for their song.
