Strange question - DM's Beatles forums

Well, you could say that there are some imperfections in this perfect songs...
My favourite is John's "Got the wrong chord!" on Hey Jude (from the site mentioned: http://www.pootle.demon.co.uk/wgo.htm)

Hey Jude

2:52-3:02. 2:58
    This is Mark Lewisohn�s "Recording Sessions" non-specific reference to an "undeleted expletive".

As Paul and John sing "Remember to let her under your skin", John shouts "Got the wrong chord!", (maybe in response to the clunky dead chord at 2:53-2:55) the last word sticks out more than the previous three, and then swears.

If you count out loud 1-2-3-4 in time to the rhythm through this section, you get :-

     1       2     3    4    1    2   3       4    1
P/J: skin                    Then You Be      Gi - In
J:  Got the wrong chord              F**king Hell

Strawberry Fields Forever

    Perhaps the most famous Beatles edit ever. In fact, it is actually two edits. The famous one is between take 7 and take 26. Take 7 was slower and a whole note lower in key. The two were edited together right between the words "cause I�m" and "going to". The lesser known edit occurs right before the words "Let me take you down". It�s also less noticeable (0:55.5) as a slight blip out in the Mellotron
The main edit (0:59) can be heard clearly by listening to the drums and Mellotron on the left channel. The drums go very dead, and the Mellotron stops. At the same time on the right, the orchestra appears from nowhere.
1:17, 2:03
    Counting from one to four (centre, whispered).
1:22
    Swordmandel (Swarmandela) fill is flubbed at the end. This mistake should / could have been mixed out! There is a "ting" remaining at the end, out of place. It�s suggested that maybe the plectrum was dropped into the instrument.
1:23
    Laughter, left side, maybe connected to the above.
1:51
    Mellotron droned note blips erratically as it cuts out.
2:43-2:44
    Nasty click from one of the cellos, during the quick run up (right channel).
3:00-3:09
3:00 - Sounds like the guitar gets unplugged (right, after first flourish).
3:06 - Soft click, like a switch.
3:07 � Click, like static discharge.
3:08 - Slight drop in level.
3:09 - Soft pop, the guitar returns with the next flourish.
3:18-3:23
    First a single squeak, then lots of them, sounds a lot like a saw. Could be a comb and paper being played.
3:27-4:05
    Left channel, lots of talking � sounds like directions of sorts. From bootlegs, this seems to be "that�s terrific", "here comes the �weeoo� " (referring to the droning guitar and brass note?).
3:57, 4:03
    John mutters the famous "Cranberry Sauce" twice, allegedly followed by "My mother made it for me." Paul is dead fanatics insist that what John really says is "I Buried Paul," but that somehow doesn't go with "My mother made it for me." Note that "My mother..." cannot be heard on any released version
Max Mismetti says :-
"There's no such thing as "My mother made it for me" it's just the "Calm down Ringo..."
The song fades out in all cases before the end of the second Cranberry Sauce." The German release of Magical Mystery Tour fades out later than other releases (and so, therefore, does the CD), but still too soon to hear the "My mother..." statement.
Listening to the bootleg versions, they carry both "cranberrys", plus lots of shouting from John to Ringo, "What are you playing it?", "Alright, calm down Ringo" (Anthology 2, Back Track)

I'm so Tired
1:58
    Lennon gibberish. This is not backwards. Renditions such as "M�sieur M�sieur, How about another?" seem to be reading in sounds that are just not there in an attempt to force it to make sense. It�s nonsense speak. It�s pure John Lennon.
Also rendered by Iain Tacey as
"missya, missya, how 'bout dinner huh? ..... Julian?"
To which the very last sound appears to be a child�s voice which is immediately cut. (Remember Julian would have been 5 years old then and was around John and Yoko at that time , as pictures show).
The child�s voice (I guess) being the "pleh".
The nearest I can transcribe phonetically is "Lissum, Blussak a mizure, habuts-an-oh�en. Tidja tidja tuplay, pleh!". The final "pleh?" is often translocated onto the beginning of Blackbird due to a mastering error when making the CD. At a stretch, I can also get "Listen, bloodsucking m�sieur". Whatever that might mean.
Having read the above, coopastarr@yahoo.com writes
For "I'm So Tired" you said that the 'gibberish' at the end of the song is not backwards, well, it actually is.
No, actually, it isn�t. Really, it isn�t.
I have recorded and reversed it and clearly heard "Paul's dead man, miss him, miss him" You can hear this yourself by recording it onto your computer and reversing it in your "Sound Recorder" if you have Windows. This can also be done with Blue Jay Way, revolution 9, and other songs.
This shows how easily people believe urban legends and folklore. You hear "Paul is dead" because that�s what you�ve been clued to hear. I�ll say it again � it was said and recorded forwards, and makes no sense. Listening to it backwards it sounds even less like speech, makes less sense, but if you were looking for a hidden message you�d be able to find one.

Love, Love, Love

Who sang the line "She Loves You" at the end of All You Need Is Love?

It took the release of Yellow Submarine with 5.1 Doblies to get there, but you know where I said "By that logic, it�s both of them, and no one has suggested that it�s both voices". It seems that could be nearer the truth than I thought.

Immense thanks to walrus@gwmnet.com.br (Rafael Szot de Lima) for providing an audio clip , which is sourced from the Yellow Submarine 5.1 Remix. Someone has the technology to strip out the centre channel from this remix, which is quite a bit clearer than the stereo mix. It contains pretty much ONLY the vocals.

My final opinion on this, based on seeing the above video and hearing this little gem, is that it�s :-

John: "Yesterday, Woh, Love is all you need, Love is all you need"
Paul: "Woh yeah"
John: "Love is all you need" (*)
Paul: "Loves to yeah yeah yeah, She loves to yeah yeah
                                               yeah"
John:   <pause>          "yeah, She loves to yeah yeah
                                               yeah"
John "Love is all you" (cut off)

There is no time to breathe at the point marked (*). There�s no way John could have sung the next line in one breath, considering the power of the voice that kicks in.

PAUL sings the "Loves to, yeah yeah", and then is joined by John, after he�s had time to breathe.

They are both singing it.

Paul starts it, hence people believing it to be Paul. They are right.

John joins in, not loudly, not overwhelmingly, but in an extremely finely balanced mix, providing the "cracking voice" characteristic that everyone else hears as John in the latter part. They are right too.

The only real give away is the final "yeah" each time is ragged � it�s not quite in time between the two of them. Also, there is a discrepancy between the quality of the voices. John sounds more "bass-present" than Paul, being nearer the mic, in the earlier exchanges. John�s "Love Is All You Need", marked with a (*), is typically bass-present, the "Loves to" is NOT. It is further from the mic ...

It�s Paul. Then, both of them.

Then I received the following from Tom "No Bozos" Welch confirming what I thought.

One of the 5 audio channels for AYNIL has the vocals way up front, and it becomes very clear who's singing what. Paul starts the "She Loves You" line and sings the first two words alone ("She Loves.."). John jumps in on the third word "You" and continues on with Paul. Once John starts singing, his voice dominates slightly in volume (I'm assuming being the lead singer of the song, his mic was louder than Paul's).

If you listen carefully to the end of the first line, as they both sing the third "yeah," You'll hear Paul's "yeah" hangs on a little longer than John's (or, maybe John sang the third "yeah" a little too quickly). There is absolutely no question in my mind, now, that this is both of them. Both are seen singing it in the video as well.

I highly recommend listening to the AYNIL 'vocal' channel of the YS DVD audio (the 5.1 audio channels are also found on two different bootleg CDs - "Kaleidoscope" and "5.1 Degrees Of Separation").
