You SURE it's not on the NA one? I heard it on CHUM-FM in 1974 or so, on the Larry Green show...

You REALLY SURE???

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.



Exactly.  Audiol illusion. (I made that up!)

I always heard I buried Paul too, and when I read he'd said 'cranberry sauce' I didn't believe it because I could hear it (after years of conditioning myself to hear the buried line).  Once I finally heard the outtakes, where the voice doesn't fade and where there are fewer instruments in the way, it is CLEAR that he says 'cranberry sauce', not once but twice.

Backward message at the end of

I'm so Tired?


Mister Charlie, is it just John mumbling or is it anything that sounds like the rumored

Paul is dead, miss him miss him?


(I'm sure this was discussed elsewhere before but since I'm pretty new I didn't see it, so please forgive me)


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

HI DR NICK!!! (sry somebuddy had to do it)

Ive always thought the backwards one at the end of Im so tired did sound a lot like "Paul is a dead man, miss him miss him".  I wish i could post a link to a Paul is Dead site i was at, it had all the backwards messages there for you to hear.  Sometimes the messages werent even backwards, I mean "The Walrus was Paul",



            Give me love, give me peace on Earth...

I believe he was just mumbling John-isms, but this one realy DOES sounds like it...again, probably because one expects to hear it...but it is not in any way fashioned to do so...it doesn't sound like him clearly saying the words, it's backwards and tentative.  But cooll I guess.

Well then what did the Beatles actually admit to doing? I mean, there's just too many coincidences!

Not really.  It's only when people start to spread rumors of interpretations rather than facts.  That's the whole point of Glass Onion, a slap at the fans who keep playing the label backwards looking for clues to...what?  The secret of life?

Sometimes in life there are simple coincindences.  Yes.

Right. I suppose. Their music so overanalyzed you can come up with just about anything.

Sorry, I don't mean to depress you.  The *idea* of a planned Beatle conspiracy IS cool.  It just didn't happen.  They were as surprised as anyone over many of the stories attached to what was for them just songs.

It WAS a time where they seemed as if they might know more than the rest of us, they were so on the vanguard of everything.  There was NO ONE bigger than them in the 60's.  They WERE such a part of the times, musically as well as socialogically, that it is not at all surprising the urban legends and folklore and theories began...almost like a religion or something.  Only their very public and final dissolution stemmed the tide of new sects rising up.

I blther on far too much.  The backwards stuff is cool, a lot of it IS there, you can hear it.  Did they put it there on purpose?  According to them, no.  But it still gives me goosebumps when I head 'turn me on deadman'...it DOES say it, clearly, and how in the world anyone then, especially with that technology, could create that effect is impossible.  A creep coincidence.

Let me ask you this:  you seem a bit disappointed about my take on this (which is fine)...did you invest a lot of belief in these things?

No, it doesn't upset me or anything. I mean, when I said my knowledge on this stuff is limited I meant it! I've been a Bealte fan since I was 4, but I guess I never really got into all this other stuff. So it's more like I've heard the rumors and thought thought they had some validity. But It's interesting to talk to people who have more knowledge on this stuff just for clarification. I could never say I knew anything for certain because I haven't listened to the backwards stuff. But if so many people are hearing Turn me on dead man, how could that be there by sheer coincedence? I don't know. It's all very interesting though.

About Beatles lyrics being analyzed, didn't John write 'I am the Walrus' because he'd heard that a teacher in his old school was taking apart Beatles lyrics with his students to see what they meant and John decided to write a bunch of nonsense to keep them guessing?

Alot of the beatles lyrics were just meaningless nonsence but naturally people wanted to explain the lyrics and they will put there own interpretations on them. Thats part of why the paul is dead rumour started and how the manson thing happened. But its also to do with Mansons twisted mind. Yeah i think i am the walrus was started cos of that, and then John an his friend remembered some old playground ryme they used to say at school that had something about yellow matter custard in it. Also lots of other people were analysing his lyrics and he thought it was a bit stupid so he wrote it to keep them guesing. But i reckon there's more to I am the walrus than it just being words thrown together.

The bit at the end of I'm So Tired is John doing a impersonation of a drunk  - the first bit is what every Englishman says when pretending to be drunk (yeah, it does sound like bless 'im, bless 'im), then John's words trail off while saying "how 'bout another little drink".

It's just John doing a drunk act which I've heard and seen so many people do over the years - slurring their words for a laugh!
