Lyrics Clues
'I AM THE WALRUS'
"Bury me, bury me, bury my body" "Oh untimely
death"
This can be heard if you listen closely to the
person speaking in the background at the end of the
song.
"goo goo goo joob"
These are said to be the last words of Humpty
Dumpty's before he fell and cracked his head.
'STRAWBERRY FIELDS FOREVER'
"I buried Paul"
John Lennon says when the song fades back in. The
Beatles Anthology #2 states that John Lennon really
said "Cranberry Sauce." But if you listen to this
version you can clearly hear that this phrase has
been manipulated to sound like "I buried Paul."
'ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE'
"Yes he's dead... we love you yeah, yeah, yeah."
If you listen closely to the end of the track, you
can hear John Lennon sing the two lines mentioned
above
Paul is Dead
