Just thought I'd bring this old topic back to life. The first link does not work, but the second one is a good link. It breaks the song down extensively. A good read, if you want to do a thesis on in.

Here's a little bit about the song 'Paul is Dead rumour' wise...

The song starts of with someone (Lennon?) saying Number 9 over and over again. McCartney has 9 letters in it. People say that it isn't Number 9 he's saying, it's November 9, which is the date Paul died. Forwards, you hear the following dialogue...

"His voice was low and his eye was high and his eyes were closed."
"Paul died."
"My fingers are broken and so is my hair, I'm not in the mood for wearing clothing."
"Maybe even dead."
"You become naked."

The following are heard playing the song backwards, there is a nasty car crash which catches fire, that's when you hear Paul screaming "get me out! get me out!".

"Get me out, get me out!"
"Turn me on dead man, turn me on dead man."(This is Number 9 reversed)

The "Number 9" repeated over and over was not John, but a segment of a tape John cut because he liked the way it sounded.

The "Number 9" repeated over and over was not John, but a segment of a tape John cut because he liked the way it sounded.

From what I understand that it is George Martin saying "number 9" in referring to a take and Lennon just repeated the tape.
BTW, I love Revolution #9, I have listened to it countless times for 44 years, 44, 44, 44, 44, 44,.......
