I don't think this is a backwards clue like "Number nine" If you let your
imagination go, it sounds like he is saying that just as you hear it
played normally. You do realize that Paul is not dead, don't you?. Elvis
is dead, I have many clues to prove it must be true.

Actually, he sez "lessee if we can start up some more rumors by putting
weird little moments into our songs".

Actually, he says pretty clearly "Awl is dead, miss him, miss him". If
you have a computer with good sound, play with it. However, once I was
fooling around with this (it was about a year ago), and when I played
one of my things backwards it sound like "You are a ..khar.. llama".. It
was awesomely funny. What I want to say, it may sound like "paul is
dead" or "we'll fuck you like supermen" in fact it could not be on
purpose just like my "llama"

There's a phenomenon that occurs when one hears a passage of syllables and
is told beforehand what they'll sound like. I think that's what's
happening here, and in most incidents throughout the Beatles' canon of
reversed music.

What I hear when this passage is reversed is "Re re nu va devna, esle
missile missim." I admit the last pronouncement sounds like "miss him",
and I guess to some ears "devna" sounds enough like "dead man" to make a
case. But it's rather a stretch, and if the hearer doesn't know what to
expect, the interpretation is up for grabs.

One of the highlights of the Get Back Journals is when the band breaks into
a rousing rendition of "I'm So Tired" with Paul taking lead vocal (Disk 1:
Track 15). At the very end, Paul even mimicks John's mumbling from the
White Album track saying what I loosely transcribe phonetically as,
"emisega megasega ema-ema emisega pizhy pizhy"

Even better from that version is Paul's fill in the break:

"Lay off the booze, boy".

Interestingly, I was listening to a weekly radio show about the Beatles
and when they played "Please Don't Be Long" from "Blue Jay Way" backwards,
it sounded like "Paul is bloody." There's no way that this could be what
they intended, but creepy nonetheless!

The attached .WAV file is the end of "I'm So Tired" running backwards. If
you listen
to it a few times "Paul is a dead man" does seem to be what is being said.

I always thought it sounded like, "Paulie's body."

"Come and Get It: The Badfinger Tribute" will finally make it to stores
(hopefully) on November 12, brought to you by the folks at Copper Records.
On this mucho excellantro disc happy lissuners will find:

Come and Get It by Adrian Belew
Baby Blue by Aimee Mann & Jon Brion
No Matter What by the Knack (really!)

and contributions from such power pop legends as Dwight Twilley, The Loud
Family, Bill Lloyd, The Plimsouls, former Apple guys the Von
Eaton Brothers, Al Kooper, and many others, not to mention the very
not-famous Circle Sky, featuring yours truly, doing P. Ham's Just a
Chance.

Circle Sky will play the Mercury Lounge in NYC (E Houston & Ludlow Sts)
tonite at 8 pm. It was planned as a record release party. But there are
no records yet. As fate would have it, though, today just happens to be
the day the CD re-issue of Badfinger's "Ass" is released in Europe (great
album by the way). That's life I guess. So tonight we'll do "Apple of My
Eye" *and* "Just a Chance"!

Hope to see you there! If you stop by, say hi (I'm the drummer)!
