I sort of hear it, but it should be: "That alludes (to) another guy", not "eludes" to make sense. I don't know what the lion's roar at the end is supposed to mean. Someone who thinks he's funny posted this: "Is Paul McCartney dead?": www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlFCXcP8Pwc&NR=1

They're saying that iamaphoney is the same guy who broke into Billy boy's house. Is this true ? Enquiring minds want to know ! ;D Not unless they let him have internet access in the mental hospital, and let him bring along his clips, video editing software, etc. Granted news about what happened to the gate crasher hasn't been published in a while, but I figure he's "locked inside those four walls" for some time to come.. I'll go along with the vague "sorta" interpretation. The lion's roar reminded me of a version of the SFF video I saw once, which had a lion's roar somewhere during a part where it focused on George, and then transitioned to another scene. Never heard that in any other version, I wondered if it was the original take?

I'm confused. Countdown starts? Lions roar? Where did the footage come from? It sounds like someone is saying "near prosthetic" towards the end just before the roar. I think Memory Almost Full is just full of lyrical references to PID.

Lions and the Beatles, some relations and posssible interpretations:
Is there a lion raoring in the zoo cavalcade at the end of "Good Morning Good Morning"/ beginning of the Sgt. Pepper reprise?
Part of the Faul-Mal Evans trip to Kenya, Africa and the jungle animal picture that was the original cover for the white album?
Could it be a tiger roaring (Bungalow Bill?)
There is a hidden Lion picture when a mirror is held to the yellow candle on the lower right of the Sgt. Pepper cover.
Lion as the symbol of the British state/government/monarchy/imperialism.
Lion as a symbol of Satan.
Lion as the symbol of MGM films.

I've used a still from that video a few times. I had no idea that it was from a video. It appears to be from the early 1970's, just prior to Jim McCartney's death. In the still that I've posted, it is very obvious that he is much older than Paul. In that video, it's harder to tell. [img src="http://galeon.hispavista.com/akostuff/img/Dunno2[1].gif"] I just tried to find the photo at the Sea of Green, but I'm sh*t outta luck. I'm gonna have to find it & post it either tomorrow or Saturday. I'm going for a procedure tomorrow. I don't know how "loopy" I'm gonna feel afterwards !

As it turns out I got the best ! I had 3 cysts removed from my scalp. What I didn't consider ahead of time, was that they were operating on my HEAD. When they do anything to the head, they can't knock you out. I thought that they would be using the same "sedation" that they use when they do other procedures such as colonoscopies or endoscopies. Nope. Even with the "sedation" & a local, I still felt quite a bit. I was in so much pain afterwards, that I took a percoset. I never take those things ! That's what I meant by "the best" ! ;D I'm still in pain today. I'm trying to go about my normal routine.

Yeah, I'm here. I washed my hair & there's still clumps of bacitracin in it. YUCK ! It still hurts a little, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was. I was shocked to find out that I had stitches. I was wondering what the doc was doing to me !

This video was listed to the right of the screen, so I checked it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxNSm9nBt7QHere is the accompanying commentary: "Added: April 08, 2007 From: ElVirtual A very crazy moments making this clip... A very crazy moments making this clip. The piano playing on this song was inspired by 1950's rock/blues piano-player, Fats Domino. McCartney recalled in 1994, "'Lady Madonna' was me sitting down at the piano trying to write a bluesy boogie-woogie thing ... It reminded me of Fats Domino for some reason, so I started singing a Fats Domino impression. It took my voice to a very odd place." Domino himself would cover the song later in 1968, and it would become his most recent U.S. Hot 100 hit (peaking at exactly #100). The saxophone solo was played by British jazz musician and club owner Ronnie Scott. The mix used in the single had much of Scott's saxophone removed, but the versions on Anthology 2 and Love feature a more prominent use of Ronnie's solo, at the end of the song. In a recent BBC documentary, Timewatch, McCartney explained the decision behind this saying that at the time, Scott had not been impressed that his music had been hidden behind other instruments, so McCartney had decided to fix it with the most recent mix in the hope that if Scott were still alive today, he would be proud. John Lennon helped write the lyrics. The line "see how they run" was included after his suggestion (and was a theme that had been used in the previous year's "I Am the Walrus"). In March 1968 it was released as a single, backed by "the Inner Light". The song was recorded at Abbey Road Studios during sessions on 3 February and 6 February 1968, before the Beatles left for India.There is no "saturday" for this lady in the song... no fun for her??? Well, woman was the nigger of the world, wasn´t she?" --------- What I particularly notice in the video, I'm embarrassed to say, is that "Paul" has a really well-formed ass at about 24-25 seconds in. Remember the discussion about whether Paul wore diapers during the filming of "HELP" at TKIN? Perhaps we can surmise that some of those scenes were played by Bill?

If he was wearing diapers then he might have had them for some scenes and not had to wear them at the time of other scenes, that's perfectly plausible. Yet at the same time, there is speculation they used pre-"Bill" JPM doubles for some scenes in Help!, such as the opening scene when they are singing in the studio. The Beatles' New Love Album Contains More Than 130 Separate Songs Tuesday November 21, 2006 @ 05:30 PM By: ChartAttack.com Staff The Beatles It may not be like Tom Hanks running through The Louvre searching for secret messages, but Beatles obsessives now have their own Da Vinci Code to crack. Tuesday's release of Love, the soundtrack to Cirque Du Soleil's Beatles-inspired Las Vegas show of the same name, will surely send Fab Four clue collectors to their turntables and CD players to try and unravel all the pieces of the new album. Love, produced largely by Gilles Martin, the son of Beatles collaborator and producer Sir George Martin, features 26 tracks made up of 37 separate songs. Within, without and all around those songs, however, is a swirling sonic collage made up of other musical moments from the band's catalogue. "It's about 130 songs or something like that," says Gilles Martin, attempting to break down the source material. "There's about 250 songs in the Beatles catalogue. "I did count them and I can't remember what it [the exact number] was. It would be a good competition to find out. A lot of people wouldn't get certain bits, even the bass lines. There's a bass line from the beginning of 'Here Comes The Sun' which I don't think people will get. But I know what it's from. "It's kind of fun in a way. I'm taking whole chunks, there's no sampled snare drum or bass drum or things, because you're taking a whole bass line or backing vocal or whatever. It does feel like The Beatles are playing. "A lot of it isn't really mashed up. The whole thought process behind it was to honestly try to stick as much Beatles on one record as possible. It's not meant to be some quiz in any way." Right. So knowing that the transition between track two, "Get Back," and track three, "Glass Onion," contains 13 separate songs shouldn't have any value. Nor should it matter that although Martin almost exclusively used the original Beatles source material (Sir George added new strings to "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"), there will be many new and found sounds to Beatlemaniac ears. "There's elements on the master-master tracks that people don't hear," says Martin. "It's funny, and I didn't know this because I didn't listen to the originals when I was actually doing it. "First, because I'm lazy. And second, because I was being asked to do something different from the originals, so I didn't want to get trapped in that mode of, 'Oh, this is so good,' and being scared by that. "So I listened to the multi-tracks and someone'd be, 'Where's that organ solo from on 'She's So Heavy?' Where's that from?' And I'd go, 'It's from 'I Want You (She's So Heavy).' And they're like, 'I don't know about that.' And they're Beatles nuts and I'm not. I'm terrible. The same guy comes back to me and goes, 'I checked. It's not on the original. It's not there.' "I'm like, 'It was on the tape. I guess they didn't push the fader up.' But I think it's cool, so I pushed the fader up. So there's things on the multi-tracks, like on 'Lady Madonna' there's them laughing, talking about doing a video. I think they were a bit worse for wear. I think they were a bit wrecked." Martin may have unearthed sounds that had been buried on the original commercial recordings, but he was stricter when it came to tampering with the meat of the main songs on the soundtrack. "Things like, if the song is the main song, it's generally untouched," he says. "So 'Get Back' is the performance on the roof of 'Get Back.' That's it. And the same with 'Kite.' It's 'Mr. Kite.' 'She's So Heavy' is 'She's So Heavy.' And then the other rule was whatever song is in charge, I could edit stuff to that song. And the other rule was that vocals can't be moved around or detuned if they're the lead vocal. "I'm not going to try anything like try to recreate a song out of two different songs by mashing them up. You have to be very careful with these things... with The Beatles, you can't go, 'I'm gonna put a beat in it and then it'll all be fine.' Cuz we're not doing that." Still, Martin concedes that one track is nominally a mash-up. But that's because Beatles fans did a lot of trill screaming back in the day. "'I Want To Hold Your Hand' is the [live] Hollywood Bowl version," he says. "It is a mash-up, funny enough. "It was the Hollywood Bowl three-track, the American three-track, very rare, and the four-track from the original, then put it together. And we did that with 'Can't Buy Me Love' and 'Twist And Shout' and all the early Hollywood Bowl performances to create how it was seeing The Beatles play live, and that's how it was. The screams are genuine and it's pretty unpleasant. "There's nothing you can do about that. The Hollywood Bowl tapes... they're terrible to listen to. It's all just screaming. If you think about it, what you're hearing is the four-track with no screams and the three-track with screams, and even then the screams are loud. That's why we put that in there." The screams Martin was most expecting were the outcries from Beatles fans who felt he "raped" (his words) the band's sacred catalogue. He says he constantly thought that he was going to be fired the whole seven months of working on the album and, fearing that Love would never see the light of day, he spent a good deal of time cataloguing and backing up all the original recordings from the Apple vault. He needn't have worried, though. The main Beatles players firmly dug Love. "They were delighted," says Martin. "Ringo came in actually with a whole lot of notes of the album and I was thinking, 'He doesn't want me to remix the bloody thing, does he?' "Cuz I was about to master it. And he came in and it was, 'I Am The Walrus,' 'just mad,' 'Here Comes The Sun,' 'really great bass line.' He was like, 'I think it's great to hear us playing as a really good band. I think we're brilliant.' He was great. "For me, my job was to entertain them and my dad cuz I thought I was going to get crucified for this anyway. That was my premise. That Paul can sit down and go, 'I really enjoyed listening to this. I think it's great to hear us play. It's just fine.' For me, I just went and got hammered." ¡ªAaron Brophy

I can. Believe it or not, this sounded very familiar to me! It's because I listen to Beatles' songs backwards all the time (yeah, I know...I'm weird). What it sounded like to me was this: www.geocities.com/judeisdead/LetMeGoOgeMteL.mp3You'll hear the sound byte played forwards and backwards back to back. "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, all good children go to heaven!". It's that unmistakable rhythm of the phrase....I thought, "that must be it". Although instead of saying it forwards and then reversing, he seems to be speaking it in reverse (and perhaps altering the end of the phrase a bit somehow...I'm not sure I really hear "go to heaven" at the end in the forwards version). Iamaphoney's version, forwards and backwards: www.geocities.com/judeisdead/12345677654321.mp3What significance "You Never Give Me Your Money" has, I have no idea, but he has referred to the "123467" Manson connection in his other videos.

Something along those lines, I find it a little creepy to be honest.

"1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ......" is at the closing of "You Never Give Me Your Money" and it segues into "Sun King" (nus gnik). It is featured, with Sun King (Emperor Hirohito?) in All This and World War II . From wikipedia: You Never Give Me Your Money From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search "You Never Give Me Your Money" "You Never Give Me Your Money" is a song by The Beatles that opens the climactic medley on side two of the album Abbey Road. It was mainly written by Paul McCartney (though attributed to Lennon-McCartney). The song begins with two verses sung by McCartney in a large-sound, almost classical style. This is followed by a section played in a double time swing feel with McCartney switching to a more nasal vocal style, using a baritone voice which contrasts the song's somewhat poignant lyrics. It follows a highly composed instrumental interlude with George Harrison's aggressive blues rock-style and a concluding unisono line between guitar and bass. The song fades out with a chant reminiscent of a nursery rhyme, set to a Harrison guitar riff similar to a previous album track, "Here Comes the Sun" (in turn based on a previous Harrison/Eric Clapton composition, "Badge"). The riff will return later in the medley's track "Carry That Weight". The song's production is notable for prominent use of leslie-amplified, arpeggiated guitar parts, which would become synonymous with the late-era Beatles sound. It segues into "Sun King". [edit] Covers / Allusions In 1976, Will Malone & Lou Reizner covered the song for the transitory musical documentary All This and World War II. Sufjan Stevens alludes to this song in "Dear Mr. Supercomputer" on his 2006 album The Avalanche. The original line is "One Two Three Four Five Six Seven / All good children go to heaven." Stevens' line is "One Two Three Four Five Six Seven / All computers go to heaven". Tenacious D regularly includes this song in their live performances as a "Beatles Medley

There's definitely a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 connection. It sounds to me like "Eleven say their grace to Paul, this is what the humans know" or "this is what the few men know" (or something else, the ending is the least clear and most ambiguous part).

The Harrison guitar riff in discussion was writ using the "D-nut" (playing the D chord in the shape of a nut). I don't remember where I read that (I think it was wiki, but it's no longer there). I think it's one of the coolest guitar riffs ever, I learned them all on my acoustic.
From the BADGE wiki: It was this musical bridge, a series of arpeggios played through a Leslie speaker, that provided the inspiration for Harrison's later Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun" for the album Abbey Road, and would inspire a similar arpeggio at the end of two other Abbey Road tracks, "You Never Give Me Your Money" and "Carry That Weight".
