I always wondered about all of the weird voice clips buried under the noise in Only a Northern Song. People have used vocal overdubs found in "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Revolution 9", and "I'm So Tired" as evidence proving that the band even admitted that Paul was dead in their own songs. But what about "Only a Northern Song"? This song is an often overlooked, somewhat obscure Sgt. Pepper reject that even the most die hard of Beatles fans sometimes forget about; a song that George Martin delayed the release of for two years, despite it being one of the earlier recorded songs of the Pepper sessions.
So I ran the song through some filters to hopefully make some of the more obscured sounds more audible. What I found was a clue that I can't believe has been under our noses all this time. Listen closely to the clip below. It occurs at 2:47 in the song, right there with the trumpets blaring and everything, George says:

ca·dav·er[/b]
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin, from cadere to fall
: a dead body;
Further on into the song....
At 3:08 George seems to be saying "Later, as usual" with
Ringo singing "Wherever...you may roam" in the background.
But reversed, it's far more interesting. For the sake of fairness, I don't want to say what's being said in the clip, because I don't anyone saying that they heard only because I had to suggest it first.

But on the other hand, no one will bother downloading an audio file if they don't know what it is, so skeptical minds skip past what I write below if you don't want any preconceived suggestions in your head before hearing it:

Our poor Paul's a cadaver now.

I'm just trying to contribute something to the Paul is Dead scene. There are a lot clues that I find that probably are really only clues to me because they are things that probably only I see or hear. But when I find something that I think is definitely there, I get excited and I want to share it with everyone...when no one seems to hear it and replies saying "hey, I think you found something", it's kind of a let down. Anyway, thank you for your kind words!
