8 Subtle Easter Eggs Hidden In The Beatles' Songs

1. The Final Joke In Free As A Bird

What The Beatles' final album actually is depends on whether you go by release date (Let It Be) or recording date (Abbey Road), but either way you look at it, by the end of 1970 they were finished. Well, almost. As part of the mammoth Anthology initiative in the mid-nineties (which boasted a definitive, eleven-hour documentary charting the band's entire story and a trio of exhaustive double-CDs of alternate takes), two early recordings John Lennon made before his death were finished by the remaining three Beatles and released as singles; Free As A Bird and Real Love. And, because twenty-five years apart had done nothing to quash Paul, George and Ringo's playfulness, they snuck in one final Easter eggs for fan to find in Free As A Bird. At the very end of the song you can hear some garbled speech that sounds something like John saying "Made by John Lennon". However, if you play it back, it's revealed to be something much more touching; Lennon saying "Turned out nice again". Yes. Yes it did. What other Easter eggs are there in hidden The Beatles' songs?
