"I didn't believe I'd written it"
Because Paul of !984 didn't write it!

another souces says:
Everyone and their manager seems to have heard the song as "Scrambled Eggs", or so they claim...but interestingly George Martin does *not* mention this in the video history "The Compleat Beatles" (at least in the sequence I checked last night). Martin also doesn't call the song that in his book "All You Need Is Ears". He *does* mention it in a brief quote from Lewisohn's "Recording Sessions" though (see entry for 14 June 1965).
George Martin recalls hearing the song for the first time at the Georges V Hotel in Paris (this would place the time frame in January 1964 when the Fabs were there for an extended concert series); he says that Paul had already come up with the title "Yesterday" and mentioned that he wanted a one-word title, but thought this might be too "corny". Martin persuaded him that it was not corny in the least.
This brings to mind the question of why the song had to be called "Scrambled Eggs" at all, if the title existed that early! One presumes that the placeholder lyrics would have had the rhyme "Yesterday/xxx-xxx-xxx" (some rhyme with "-day") rather than the "Eggs/legs" configuration. Or is this another Humpty-Dumpty/ Alice logical debate, i.e. the song *was* "Yesterday" but it was *called* "Scrambled Eggs"?

Scrambled eggs.....somehow that doesn't seem to make sense...something so hauntingly beautiful to be originally that...

I've seen that there is an other grave on the b side of the picture disc "yellow submarine-eleanor rigby" released on 5th August 1986. Does someone have a good pic of it?

In this Eleanor Rigby clip from Yellow Submarine, there is a gravestone which reads: No. 48, Here Lie Buried William McMillen.

I wonder if that same graveyard in Liverpool has that grave in it.

Very strange, I've never seen it presented other than it is here, cropped, and so that you can only guess at who "here lie buried". So where the heck did they get this?? Perhaps that's how it was on the VHS version? (no idea)

Perhaps 48 means 4/8, Bill's birthdate? That would certainly go right along with the 'Ram' album being that someone born on April 8 would be an Aries, the sign of the ram.

Now that I look at both, they have to read the same thing: No. 49, Here Lie Buried, William McMillen. I guess I mistaked number, that it's 49 instead of 48--but you can see how it's easy to do that.

Maybe it represents Bill's grave, rather than Paul's. He "died" to become Paul.

I'm not big on numerology, but think about this possibility...
49 = Paul (4) McCartney (9)

4 +9 = 13 Not a good thing, very occultic....

The Yellow Submarine is hiding behind the gravemarker. The gravemarker is supposed to mark Paul's grave. I would guess that goes along with everyone here who feels that Yellow Submarine is chock full of clues about Paul's death.
