Aside of the well known "Turn me on dead man" clue in Revolution 9, did someone heard this:
Revolution #9: "..his voice was low and his eye was high and his eyes were closed.." "..*Paul* died.." "..my fingers are broken and so is my hair, I'm not in the mood for wearing clothing.." "..maybe even dead.." "..you become naked.." (these are heard playing the song forward amongst other things, the droning "number 9". McCartney has 9 letters in it) "..get me out, get me out!.." "..turn me on dead man, turn me on dead man.." (these are heard playing the song backwards, there is a nasty car crash and it catches fire, that's when you hear Paul screaming "get me out! get me out!".

this was a song that had many audio clips in it, so its possible that he included perhaps a famous man (politician?) who died and was announced on the radio, maybe if you name the person who said it you can better ascertain which Paul they speak of

Well, as far as learning a voice, it helps I think to have a good number of clear samples, and listen repeatedly to them. It might help to have excellent sound eqiupment, it helps if the samples aren't EQ'd oddly, or chorused, or buried in other music or sounds. A good number of clearly recorded, exposed samples of good enough duration. And a variety---speaking while relxed, speakingg slow, speaking fast, speaking directly into a low impedence mike.
Repetition will allow you to have recall of the samples by just imagining them. Concious discernment of pitch modulation, accent, vowel formations, nasality, or lack of, etc. By focusing on certain qualities deliberatly while listening, you can isolate components of a persons speech "style" and naturally born resonating "type" that help to identify.
Knowing what lifting the palate sounds like, sending through the nose, or mask, opening the throat or closing it off, pitching the speaking voice in a slightly different register, head resonance, chest resonance, all these little factors help us form a mental sound file of a voice. But nobody's perfect.
For instance, my most recent idiocy. I was at a friends house. We were talking and the radip was on in the background. The song "I've Got My Mind Set on You" came on the radio. Well, O know ALL of you know who wrote it. I paid no attention to it in the 80's. I did not know. She asked me who it was. I listened for a minute, and something in the overall tracks of the song made me stupidly arrive at, and I actually said it out loud, "Why, it's Hall and Oates, of course!"
I hear the Jeopardy buzzer going off all over Proboards at this moment.
Well, she didn't know. I leave her house. She calls me later the next day to tell me that when she awoke the next AM to continue packing (as she is moving), she stumbled across a tape she did not know she had. It is in a box two feet from where we were sitting, and on the top. In plain view. Another friend of hers had given her a few tapes and it slipped her mind. It turns out to be a cassette tape single of a certain George Harrison song from the 80's.
One guess as to which one it was. ".....set....on......you...."
Barrrhhhn Barrrrrhn. I just don't have a real complete aural picture of Harrison's voice...............
Sometimes I am real alert, and sometimes I think I'm just set on screen saver.

Playing the song forwards, you can hear:
"Number nine."
"His voice was low and his eye was high and his eyes were closed."
"Paul died."
"My fingers are broken and so is my hair, I'm not in the mood for wearing clothing."
"You become naked."
"He hit a pole. We'd better get him to see a surgeon."
"So anyhow he went to a dentist instead. They gave him a pair of teeth that weren't any good at all."
"My wings are broken." (remember that there's a line in Blackbird that goes 'Take these broken wings and learn to fly')
"Must have got it in the shoulder blades."
"Take this brother, may it serve you well."
Playing the song backwards, you can hear...
"Get me out! Get me out!"
"Turn me on, dead man."
"There were two, there are none now."
"If you want it, you can prove it."

Personally, Revolution Number Nine is one of my favorite songs. Also note the fact that he talks about being "naked". Paul would be "naked" if he was dead.

Well, I just thought naked meant being carnally uncovered (the "private areas" in context. Or, euphemistically, you are naked without some kind of cover. You are exposed in some way that might cause shame. Or, simply that one is out on the open.
Yoko said those words, though, and my take on her view of "naked" is that she would see it as a release, a kind of freedom, a "back to nature" zen kind of condition. Stripped of pretense, honest, open. Recall the pics of her with John a la naturelle. I think it may have been a flower power connotation at that time to them.
