    How would Beatles conspiracy theorists interpret the so-called lyrics, "Dead man, turn me on dead man" from 'Revolution 9'?

    Question #93218. Asked by BRY2K. (Mar 06 08 5:55 AM)

    This was the song that "conspiracy theorists" used as proof that Paul was dead.
    Revolution 9" played an important part in the infamous "Paul is dead" controversy. Most notably, the repeated "number nine" played backwards can be heard as "Turn me on, dead man." If one listens carefully, the "babble", many believe, includes other hints left by the band about Paul's alleged death, including "My wings are broken," "Paul is Dead... Since the..his suicide was..." and "Get me out!" As the "Paul is dead" rumours were quickly debunked, these "clues" are creative misinterpretations of "Revolution 9", but they remain an interesting footnote to the Beatles' history.
