Yes 52 would work for fool on the hill

Hexagram 52 : the Fool on the Hill
"Roll Over Beethoven : Hexagram 51
(lots of shocks, like thunder)
You know, my temperature's risin'
And the jukebox blows a fuse
My heart's beatin' rhythm
And my soul keeps a-singin' the blues
Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news"
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds : Hexagram 34
(actually, the words are very surrealistic, but somehow the image is vigorous)
Yeah, 47 with 38 relating? Or the other way around...
Oh, that might be my favorite Beatles lyric. It's about the loneliness of being a "thinking different" person or going against the grain.
"No one i think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low" = nobody understands me, nobody is on my wavelength so i guess that means i'm either brilliant or defective, genius or crazy. If you read the song that way the words aren't really that surreal or anything.
If Strawberry Fields is his own little world or bubble... 47 is that imprisonment of one's own making. The "Forever" part - the "to hell with all you guys, I'll never turn Greek! Spartan for life!!" That title and refrain- "Strawberry Fields Forever!" is the stubborn and rip-roaring celebration of, and the misguided pledge of loyalty to an estranged and utterly defeated nation (identity and ideology)- population one.
The part you quoted of Roll Over Beethoven (a Chuck Berry song adapted by the Beatles, if I'm not mistken) sounds more 31ish to me? Being posessed, inspired or moved by an invisible force that overtakes the body and soul and then is released as singing... But the song on the whole, its title especially... is really about the fledgeling rock n' roll movement as an insurrection, challenging and threatening to take the place of the exalted classical music establishment... The "folk" art pitting itself against the "high" art. "Roll over" in this case means "step down, move aside, get out of our way." Or even "surrender, concede to defeat." This is extremely 15.5: Invade and dethrone the immodest. Auspicious.

It's not logical but 34 for Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds still feels right to me. 34 is Thunder in the Sky: something big and important.
What you say about 51 and Roll Over Beethoven is interesting. Doesn't a Thunder Clap make sense of this historical sensation: Rock and Roll dismantles classical music?
I think of 31 as not quite as electric as you describe -- it's lake on top of a mountain. Your perspective is interesting.
51 Roll over Beethoven I rather like, too, because of the thunder -clap like beats to it, which cause me to feel as 51 describes: (excited, afraid, ecstatic)
How about 24 for The Long and Winding Road?
DeflatorMouse: I am sometimes just going by the title and the basic metaphor involved...
You see, you are going deep into the song
Twist and Shout, by the way, was a blatant and deliberate rip off of 'La Bamba'
What's the hexagram for plagiarism?
