Hi. I was curious on what does John say at the end of the song "Get Back"? I think he says something on the lines "I'd like to say thanks on behalf of...", but I never quite got it.

"I'd like to thank you on behalf of the group, and I hope we passed the audition."


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

It's only on the Let It Be album version of Get Back - not the 'naked' version.

Yeah, I noticed it too. I just hear that at the Let It Be original album. Also on the original one, it takes about 20 seconds for the song to begin, unlike other albums it was included in.

In fact, it's the same version of Get Back on both the Let It Be album AND the single (Past Masters) version - the LIB version was not recorded during the rooftop performance. To give the track a 'live feel', Phil Spector added a brief exerpt of the band warming up from the roof-top performance, but he used the single version and not one of the roof-top versions. To reinforce the illusion of it being a live track, Spector edits off the final reprise and adds the hand-clapping and "I'd like to say thank you..." comments from the roof-top session! Confusing?

"I hope we passed the audition" is a reference to a Decca audition (when
they were rejected, January 1st, 1962.)
