5. The Barely Audible Explanation For Get Back's Sound
There's a plethora of hidden dialogue in the background of Beatles tracks, either put in purposely (see this pushed to the extreme with Revolution 9) or accidentally left in the background of a recording. Nowhere is this shown so completely than Get Back, which has examples that are both painfully overt and incredibly subtle. The album version ends with some audio clips from the none-more-iconic rooftop gig - "I'd like to thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we passed the audition". As the final song on Let It Be, the final record released, it's a pretty touching end to the band's time together. However, that's incredibly obvious and nowhere near as interesting as this other, ridiculously hidden line. On the single version of the song (available subsequently on single and alternate collection Past Masters Vol. II), you can hear incredibly faintly at the end of the song's main body (about 2:32) George Harrison saying... something. It's so quiet that making out exactly what George is saying is pretty damn-near impossible, but some pretty cool ideas have been put forward - the odd "It's giving him some nightmares" or "Let's give him some might, guys," which makes sense as the long is just heading into its lengthy the final reprise. The best, and certainly most cohesive, however, is that he's saying "Let's give him some Night Nurse", an explanation for Paul's minorly off voice - he has a cold. Whatever the case, the fact it's just barely audible (once you spot it you'll never unhear it though) means it was purposely left in the edit just to spark such wild and utterly fruitless discussion.
