What's a famous song most likely written under the influence?

Strawberry Fields Forever is a good candidate in my opinion.

    They said "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke was made under the influence. It was actually so ambiguously influenced, that they accidentally copied the melody from another song called "Got to Give It Up".

    "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly. Doud Ingle was so inebriated when he wrote the song and then slurred the words when he played it to Ron Bushy, who then wrote down the lyrics for him.

    Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.   (LSD) 

    You don't really believe that corny story about  his son Julian showing him a  drawing,  saying it was his friend, Lucy....in the sky.....with diamonds.   do you?

    "Snow Shoes Thompson" by Alex Harvey (alcohol - though perhaps performed, rather than written!)

    "Strawberry Fields Forever" by the Beatles (LSD)

    "Eight Miles High" by The Byrds (just about anything and everything)

    BTW - I heard a radio interview with one of the Beatles, probably 'way back in the late 70s, regarding Lucy in the Sky. I think it was Paul McCartney. Note that it was long after the Beatles had broken up. He insisted that the song was NOT referring to LSD, not subtly or symbolically or in any other way.
