It did NOT say 'f*** you like superman', in fact it doesn't 'say' anything.  Many people have heard many different things because it was a collection of noises and sounds as noted above..


According to Paul in his biography "Many years from now", it does say something, They put "couldn't have been any other way, couldn't have been any other way", but then, playing it backwards, it was clear: "We'll f*** you like Supermen".

Yes, he does say that, you are correct.  Although in other interviews he says something different. 

It does not say the superman bit. Backwards OR forwards.  That was something that was heard by others and Paul professed amazement.  For years it was also supposed to be saying '...this is the ending of the wax...'.

Just Beatle-mania.

To me it sounds like John saying "never could see any", then Paul saying "other way", with someone going, "bah-ba-bah" in the background. Any other thoughts?

Forward it definately sounds like that to me too Alan.  But backwards i think it sounds more like "Will Paul come back as superman?"

                               'we'll *uck you like you're supermen'.

To be honest, I think you can train your ears to hear any of these variations.

My point exactly.

If Paul said in his book (and he does) that what was actually said was 'couldn't have been any other way' as Sadie4 provided, and in lieu of an absence of any other evidence...then that's what was said, frontwards, regardless of what it sounds like to different people.  And backwards it says nothing.

Once the phrases get around that 'this is what is said' the ear natuarally goes to that.  If you were not told beforehand what to listen for there would be wildly varying interpretations.  IMO (since I have no scientfic study to prove it).

John saying Cranberry sauce?
Up until it was revealed to be cranberry sauce, I thought I heard
I buried Paul.
It's true, you do hear what you're told you'll hear.
Still sounds more like I buried Paul than cranberry sauce to me.


John: You're just a lonely old man from Liverpool.
Grandfather: But I'm clean!
John: Are ya?
