“Helter Skelter” is a song written by Paul McCartney, credited to Lennon–McCartney, and recorded by the Beatles on their eponymous LP The Beatles, often known as “the White Album”. A product of McCartney’s deliberate effort to create a sound as loud and dirty as possible, the song has been noted for both its “proto-metal roar” and “unique textures” and is considered by music historians as a key influence in the early development of heavy metal.[6] In a special stand-alone issue, Rolling Stone ranked “Helter Skelter” fifty-second on its “100 Greatest Beatles songs” list.
