  • This is almost certainly a satire on racism, as it was less than a year after Enoch Powell's "Rivers of Blood" speech. Britain was still reverberating with his controversial words when this jam was made.

  • Get back to de Market man.. wot do U! Put 10% more on de butter an' make sure all de rotten bread go first.. dem no know... dem skanky..

  • Why was this not released?

  • @MrWhittak bad sound quality?

  • @MrWhittak Because... they're just pissing around, it's not serious, if bands released all the shit they had like this lying around the world would be filled with even more comedy and parody songs, and I think we've got enough.

  • im asian i like this song and im not a neo nazi supportin bnp storm trooper

  • was this preformed by the beatles, was it? and when did they PREFORM this?

  • Wait till Pakis RAPE and ATTACK you ,your relatives and when the WHITE WORLD supports them! You will soon realize HOW MUCH IT COSTS to just be yourself,minding your own business! IVE HAD 13 YEARS OF THIS SHIT! White men support gay asian's cos they hate to see young WHITE guys "Making" their own future! FUCK THEM,THE CIA MI6 and every filistin Scab in the WORLD! Jealous poofs! Normal people are fine,Asian or White!

  • @ahmerpot what? are you saying that the CIA and MI6 are trying to help Pakistanis rape people with creamy skin? If that is what you're saying then why? do you have examples of this or any incriminating evidence?

  • @ahmerpot

    Pakistanis are more Aryan then "white" people by virtue of actually being descended from Aryans.

  • @ahmerpot Race has nothing to do with crime rates, shame on you for being stereotypical. There is nothing wrong with being gay, if a guy / girl wants to be gay, that's none of my business and it's none of yours. Normal people? Fucking really? You are not a normal person, you are mentally ill. I'm a very peaceful person, and I'm trying to be calm, but you arent helping. So - You are an ignorant, rasist, homophobic, shit for brains, fascist. And the world will not miss you when you are gone.

  • If you can't figure out that this is actually The Beatles taking the piss out of racists and xenophobes then you're not too bright

  • This just goes to prove that the beatles were infact neo Nazis, and anyone that listens to them or likes their music is pure evil and bnp stormtrooping scum.

  • @MilitantUAFTrot whatever

  • Oh you bet they were racist I were born in Lancashire in 61, they had to cloud it cause back then it weren' t bbc , but it weren't hurtful stuff and bear in mind they were Scouse(liverpudlians) to the non- British and Liverpool used to be the gateway to the USA

  • Has anyone ever thought of reading up on things before expressing an opinion based on no knowledge whatsoever? Amongst the people with the intelligence to have found out about the history of this song, will be aware that it's anti-racist. Racist people are idiots, simple as that. Anyone that would refer to people as "wogs" has only proven themselves to be a heartless, soulless moron.

  • They wrote a song called "All You Need Is Love" and refused to play to segregated audiences in the U.S., can you really not tell this is a joke? Fucking idiots...

  • another thing is i get pissed off with wogs saying they are british they are not british it dont matter if you are born here because you will always have a hatred for real white english people because we arent muslims or sikhs you call us infidels i say u are traitors to india and pakistan because you are living in a foreign country which is not your homeland and you have disgraced your beliefs by trying to assimilate into british culture watch a video from the 60,s and u will c you arnt british

  • @shredmaster100 Lol! You call yourself British but you can't write a grammatically correct paragraph? Sad times.

  • @shredmaster100 ok, firstly i'm white British, and what you just said was completely ignorant. i mean, what the hell, are you saying that if you live in another country then you have betrayed your heritage or something? do you even know hoe stupid that sounds?

  • look at how the older generation of british people lived they would go to work early come home in the afternoon and go up to thier local pub and go to watch the footie in thier spare time and have a good day out where as have u ever seen a indian or pakistani in a pub no more likely down your local mosque or temple plotting how to blow some schoolkids up thats what the majority of these people are terrorists im glad the police are racist because thier on my side not the wogs lol

  • @shredmaster100 Your ignorance is astounding. The "majority" of "these people" (as you put it) are not terrorists.

    There are a minority of people in EVERY organised religion who are extremists. By no means do these extremists represent the entire faith. The KKK, Aum Shinrikyo etc

    In addition, a good police man is not partial to any race or religion. They are only partial to THE LAW: pertinent to every creed and colour!

    Including you, me and everybody else under the sovereignty of Her Majesty.

  • the thing i dont get is why we have such strict anti terror laws in the uk because why did the gov not introduce these laws when the IRA was blowing london up every week that doesnt make sense because the ira did worse trhings than just blowing a bus and train up

  • @shredmaster100 ...do you know indians own hundreds if not thousand's of local boozers in all the uk, are not terrorists, peaceful living people,see all human beings as one,own their own houses,work hard...so how can you say you never seen them here or there, living under a big heavy rock there are ya?...fuck the police to, racist white crackers like you to...and the wog bit you said , say it to the face of one you will know,,.thats the day you DIE.!

  • freedom of speech ever heard of it if i wanted to go around dressed as a member of the kuklux klan or something then i should have the right to do that and i like getting a reaction from people thats how i will become famous by saying outrageous things that no one else ever says just look at jeremy clarkson lol

  • @shredmaster100 Do you even know what you're fucking saying? the freedom of speech act exists for people to express their opinions, not to just go around making bullshit accusations and offending people. If you were a GOOD BRITISH CITIZEN you'd know this and that we are a nation of EQUALITY!!!

  • if this is a nation of equality how is it the health secretary can snap his fingers at an oap and have her assaulted by a 6foot police officer the mps are like gangsters if they dont like u they can make u disapear just look what happened to dr david kelly because he knew iraq was an illegal war

  • @shredmaster100 Jesus christ how fucking ignorant can you get? going to a pub and watching football doesn't fucking make you english you twat- what you've said has just pretty much, is that we're a nation that drinks too much and spend most of our lives watching tv. go and get a fucking life in stead of spending all your time trolling the internet just so you can rant because no one else gives a fuck.

  • @ChavreShapeShifter

    You: a retard...

  • John Lennon: Hey that was fun, now I'm off to NY with my Japanese American wife.

  • Immigration debates got quite tense in the UK towards the end of the 60's. I read somewhere (I don't know where so I don't know if this is true or just bullshit) that Paul McCartney thought of this as a parody of the ones who were against immigration, but he later changed the text out of fear of getting involved in a messy political debate.

  • more like too many poles taking everyones jobs lol

  • @shredmaster100 hehe, seriously, what's the reason ?

  • no idea what its about really m8

  • how are you pepole to judge the beatels ?

  • John Lennon married Yoko, Paul worked with Micheal Jackson, and George worked a lot with Ravi Shankar. Must be racist right?

  • @thetazzdelaney

    He also hung out with famous Pakistani Marxist Tariq Ali.

  • @thetazzdelaney if somebody is racist that doesnt mean they hate every other race besides white, you can be a racist and hate one race, that was a pretty ignorant statement, since when do blacks and asians fall into the same category as hispanics and middle easterns?

  • @Darion1A That's a valid point but i was just stating that as they worked/married into other cultures, one being asian, they obviously didn't mean this song to be racist. It was satire.

  • @thetazzdelaney i get that it was satirical and i know that they werent racist towards and race or culture, they were against it like the stereotypical hippy of that time

  • Comment removed

  • Meanwhile, John Lennon married a Japanese woman and jammed with Stevie Wonder and Chuck Berry, while Paul McCartney had an international hit with Ebony and Ivory (and we’ll forget his single with Michael Jackson.)

    That’s off the top of my head. This song is mocking racists.

  • The Beatles were so deeply racist that they paid the African-American keyboard player Billy Preston to play electric piano on THIS RECORDING and spent months in north India with the Maharishi, while George Harrison put on a benefit concert for Bangladesh, signed Ravi Shankar to Apple Records and put on classical Indian music concerts in his house.

  • @NeillibusRex And John wrote love songs to his asian wife. He wrote Woman is the Nigger of the workd which is never played because it may offend the stupids who don't understand it. Paul seems to have a thing for the 'get back' theme, as in Back in the USSR. Funnily enough some people saw some kind of ideological message in that song too.

  • They wrote to reflect what OTHER people in the UK thought, not what THEY thought

  • Sorry to disappoint the racists, as well as those who enjoy getting their self-righteous anti-racist dander up so much that they can't recognize the obvious, but this is the Beatles doing a PARODY of racism.

    The Beatles were making fun of anti-immigrant sentiments popular in England at the time (as they did in another couple of tracks recorded around the same time, such as the even more obviously satirical "Commonwealth Song" and "White Power").

  • 7 people aren't high

  • LOL ! A good irony against racism

  • Funny, all these people saying "lighten up" would be up in arms if there ever were a song like "get back limmies to caves in which you belong". I guess like all things, it means nothing until it hits home, and only then it's offensive. But racism and hatred is just that. So sorry assholes, I'll call a spade a spade.

  • @GeorgiaIsOnMyMind Fair enough, call a spade a spade, either way it's made of iron-y

  • @hallamhal

    I guess then anything derogatory or targetted towards any one group is made of "iron-y".

  • @GeorgiaIsOnMyMind And it could also be people who HAVE NO SENSE OF IRONY and have their own political agenda?

  • @thatsthewayitgoes09

    People who have a "political agendas" are the ones likely to put up the videos myopic child, not comment underneath them. Its your hypothecially inclined counter charges that reek of a political agenda.

  • @GeorgiaIsOnMyMind Oh shut up. Wow come out with posh words? That's the sign of someone trying to the smart when really they're the biggest racist of all.

    The amount of people on this video who DISAGREE with clearly outweighs your boring PC opinion. Some people are here because of music NOT the bitterness of some prat who sees racists in every shadow.

    Get a life.

  • @thatsthewayitgoes09

    Ha ha. If my comments are so in incessantly “boring”, why are you so emotionally invested in responding to them? If my offense at this song is oh-so-bogus, why do pigs like you even care to refute me? That's two life-altering questions you might want to ask yourself. In the meantime, I’ll call a spade, a spade. Thank You for your concern.

  • @GeorgiaIsOnMyMind I don't care to refute anything but the idea that you think you have a brain.

    You'll be a bore who's a bore. And I'll be right which I am.

    I don't have concern for you. You're replying to everyone who comment to you. So actually you're pig.

    Racist. Thank you for proving me right about twats like you NIGGER.

  • @thatsthewayitgoes09

    Ha ha ha My point is proven, Pigs like you are having hissy fits and foaming at the mouth at me calling out racist verm because you're one of those racist vermin, Thanks for proving my point, bottom feeder :)

  • @GeorgiaIsOnMyMind Who cares what you think little prick. Here's an idea stop acting tough and shut the fuck up.

    You think everyone is racist even though I was being ironic. Bottom feeder. You haven't proven anything except being one dimensional bore.

    Racist vermin? You're racist so far as I'm concerned so to me everything you say ZZZZZZZZZZ. Hahaha. Take some prozac will you? HHahhahahaha.

  • @thatsthewayitgoes09

    It's flattering you display your intellectual inferiority to me by copying my words and throwing them back at me. :) Now if you could say something original, that might actually hold ground. :) So far, you're just another racist teapot calling the kettle black. Typical.

  • @GeorgiaIsOnMyMind Alright I went over top happy now? So, have sex and calm down eh?

    I don't own a teapot so I can't be racist can I angry black Kettle?

  • @thatsthewayitgoes09

    Funny. When they don't have a valid point of view, they quickly they resort to sexual innuendo. The ultimate sign of defeat.

  • @GeorgiaIsOnMyMind Shut up you sad lefty cunt.

  • @Underground906

    Is cunt your mother's real name, or just an epithet of endearment you heard your dad call her to the extent that it became part of your limited vocabulary?

  • @GeorgiaIsOnMyMind You tried far too hard to be clever and the end result is nothing but cringe inducing. Faux intellectual wannabe's always have that effect on me. .

  • @Underground906

    Sorry to bring back bitter childhood memories related to the C word staple of your limited vocabulary :)

  • Comment removed

  • when I say terraced, I mean terrorist

  • 7 people are Pakistanis

  • This is clearly tongue in cheek - almost a protest to/spoof of the racist attitudes of the British National Party and Enoch Powell.

  • Funny that people can't take a bit of British humour,

    noone seroiusly thinks they were actually racist?! Their pissing about, joking about.

  • @peaceandlovein69 I'm sure they were. I just posted this in one of my groups by saying, "Hope nobody gets offended." LOL Oh well! I really don't believe they were prejudiced, especially by this time in their lives.

  • Eric Clapton on guitar?:) Geez, lighten up. Goofing on the people you hate is a building block for "our" side.

  • White Power! Hahaha. People need to lighten up.

  • satire. read books, divs x

  • Jesus you trolls are so hilariously stupid. Why dont you just shut the fuck up and enjoy the video of one of the greatest bands ever messing around.

  • I love when Paul belts out songs. I always liked the rockers he'd written and sung best (I've Got a Feeling, Oh Darling, etc.) Well I love his acoustic stuff too but you know lol. He's being so silly at the end hahaha.

  • who ever made this SUCKS!

  • Dear idiot racists: The Beatles attempted to satirize racists like you and Enoch Powell in this song. They're not anti-"pakki" they're anti YOU!

  • The results you see today: London is burning. And this not because the brave English people are lazy, but because the half-apes of Pakkis, gipsys etc. were allowed to use sex as their only hobby because it doesnt cost anything. No education, no manners, no job, no innovations, just sucking a healthy society to death = useless elements of mankind. I am REALLY looking fordward to seeing the left-winged do-gooders standing at the burning rests of their politics!!!

  • @whity72 hey dumbass, no sympathy whatsoever for you limey fucking cunts. You brutalized India (Pakistan used to be part of India) for a hundred years and you expect anyone to give a shit about what the Pakistanis are doing in England? Fuck you cunt. England deserves to fucking burn into dust, little BITCH.

  • @americansrfaggots, you nancy-arsed fairy boy, thanks for your comment. It shows me how deeply correct my analysis is. Btw, I am no citizen of the GB or UK. I have no idea how stupid some nation can be to give up Hong Kong and on the other side let masses of uneducated morons imigrate to the country. Their fault. There are anyway 3-5 billion too many, completely useless humans on this planet who will never innovate something, just make new babys/problems etc. pp.

  • @americansrfaggots That's why India and Pakistani are members of the Commonwealth with the Queen as it's head. You need a proper education.

  • I'd hate to think of anyone thinking this was somehow them revealing their racism, intimate sessions often spewed silliness and fun with the taboo but through time we were all made aware of their racial standpoints, Get Back was an answer to bigotry not a salute to it, Johns best mate at school was Geoff Mohammad who was either mixed race or other, don't use this space to advertise your hate, it isn't welcome

  • Vote BNP

  • You've taken a great rock 'n' roll tune and destroyed it. Fucking div!

  • @madhickson23 you can look up the history of this song, at wikipedia for example or elsewhere. You will find that this is a studio-version, and it's the Beatles singing.

  • @madhickson23 look at how dumb you are.

  • I'm with the beatles fuck the pakis

  • @zimmyzimgir2 stfu Kike

  • @zimmyzimgir2 yeah, well the pakis will be majority in England you little bitch. How do you like that now? HA HA HA HA! Fucking two inch dick British BITCH.

  • Wow you fucking crackers sure do show your racism when you think you're anonymous online, and you're all a bunch of fucking pussies because you sure as hell won't say the kind of shit you do here in real life. LOL, fucking coward ass two inch dick CRACKER JACK CUNTS! HA HA HA! The Pakis are going to breed you out, ya little BITCHES.

  • Comment removed

  • @americansrfaggots why would a civilised white man want to trigger an ape attack? We say it behind your back because blacks (like muslims) react to everything will violence.

  • This is the Get Back version that was the 65th song played on January 9th, 1969.

  • @789TheBeatles like anyone can even know that... what are your sources?

  • @acrsurfing The book, "Drugs, Divorce, and a Slipping Image"

  • Actually, Pakistan has some questions to answer about housing Bin Laden before McCartney starts singing THIS version in concert.

  • Guys, look it up on wikipedia. This version is based on a speech made by an infamously racist politician. The Beatles reacted by recording a satirical version, using lines from the speech in a sarcastic way to make him look stupid, and to make a statement.

  • They are being Sarcastic and stupids are becoming sad...

    I am a Pakistani and can understand what Beatles actually wanted people to know..

  • @junaidjaatt after 6yr in the UK a know what they mean and I still love them. I don't like 95% of pakistani I met, but because I like 5% i'm not racist, too xD

  • @junaidjaatt 'stupids'?

  • Comment removed

  • @junaidjaatt you can tell they're being sarcastic because your pakistani? that pretty stupid

  • nobodys perfect aye

  • Beatles should make an album naming it the Marijuana Album

  • I realised the tone of sarcasm can't be heard on the Internet and thought it best to state I was being sarcastic.

  • The Beatles were racist! Burn all their CDs, posters, photos and books. Tear down liverpools John Lennon airport. Ban all their music and never speak their name again!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Obviously most of you have no idea what the hell this song is really about. It's by no means racist, that's like saying Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" is a white power book equal to Mein Kampf because of its use of the word "nigger". This was meant to poke FUN at the racists in the United States, in fact, Europe was incredibly tolerant to those of differing colour and culture... especially "African Americans" who immigrated/studied there during Jim Crow.

  • @baalzebuddy:

    "Europe was incredibly tolerant"? I'm curious, why has Europe flipped? I hear so much in the news (BBC) about outlawing turbans, burqas, kirpan, etc.

    "especially African American". I don't think that describes Spain very well.

  • I don't know about all of you, but I wouldn't want to live next to a flat with 19 people in it.  I don't give a damn what their skin color is.

  • FWIW - The Beatles "Got It" back in the late 1960's. Oviously they didn't understand our reationship with Puerto Rico - They DID understand the UK's reationship with Pakistan. Pakistan IS totally foreign to the UKand represents another failure of the Foreign Office, Like so-called "Saudi"- Arabia. Pakistan came into being because-

    SUPPOSEDLY Muslim Majority areas could not live WITHIN the New India, same for Jordan within the Palestine Mandate. The UK has surrendered to MUSLIMS , nobody elseWHY

  • i'm pretty sure that john lennon & paul mccartney were high on something when they recorded this.

  • Hey man, let's all dig some of that groovy, peace and love Keep Britain White tuneage.

    I'd love to hear No Remorse cover this!

    Next week: Some blogger unearths a "Disraeli Gears"-era Cream out-take entitled "Black Man Out" (Words: E Clapton)

  • @mellysingsdoom I don't know about No Remorse, but Battlecry has covered this version.

    I'm not giving any opinion, but especially as a Beatles fan, it's very interesting to know that they wrote this.

  • Anyone ever hear of a parody? McCartney was trying to lampoon the anti-immigration panic sweeping the U.K. at the time through this and a number of other Beatles tunes which, ultimately, were scraped.

    It's too bad, I would have liked to have seen a really politically aware Beatles album stick it to the right wing moral panic crowd, but I guess a lot of the responses here show that many people aren't prepared for this sort of commentary.

    My advice, don't read any Jonathan Swift.

  • ... So people who think it's "amazing" that the Beatles "realized" how horrible Pakistanis are, or on the other hand, think that the Beatles were racist bastards, should really do some more research. Listen to the song "Commonwealth" and, if you have a sense of irony, their point will be pretty clear.

  • Amazing how many people who don't understand the context. This was a reaction and a mockery of the British conservative politician Enoch Powell who, in a speech in 1968 expressed fear that immigrants would take over Britain.

    In an earlier version of this song (Titled "Commonwealth") McCartney is also pointing out the irony of the fact that the immigrants were largely from former British colonies but still were seen with such disrespect and alienation from their former masters.

  • I really hope most of the negative comments here are as tongue-in-cheek as the song itself.

  • This is Paul doing a John-like protest song. It's just a satire and nothing to call them fucks about.

  • This version is hilarious. Paul McCartney is grunting like a Pakistani.

  • Being myself a Pakistani, I don't feel offended ; I mea, c'mon guys, to think of Beatles being racists is like to give a Nobel prize for peace to Obama : it shouldn't be allowed. : ) Regards.

  • @roxor1080 i'm pretty sure they're making fun of american racism. the british were never really known for their prejudice like americans, portuguese, and spanish were.

  • @roxor1080 As a pakistani, can't you agree that an immigration to Britain from your country has caused numerous problems that this musical group might have brought up in this song?

  • @1tanterhetaida2 There were problems at the time as the 'jobs for life' mentality was being dismantled and a lot of Asians were fleeing East Africa to 'take jobs' in England. Though of course, you don't need reminding that this itself was blowback as Asians were only there because of our Empire, plus Idi Amin was 'our' man, looking after western interests for a good long while before people suddenly 'realised' he was a tyrant. Shades of what Gadaffi has suddenly become in the last 3 months

  • @roxor1080 A Peace prize...amazing anyway...so many years and billlions spent in the cold war and a guy from a terraced flat nicked a few airplanes. Us Christian types would never be so devious huh?

  • Racists. Love to see them playing this on a rooftop in Brixton.

  • I guess if it werent for the real EVIL ppl out there like the nazis and the slave traders it would be ok to joke ironically about this.Love the beatles hate Racism

  • wow al u guys callin them racist are just retareds its just a joke clam down and dont say i shouldnt be calling it a joke im part black and my mom who is just laughed atthis verson

  • I like how people are calling them racist in this song yet the Keyboardst was Black.

  • @birdy47 Billy Preston

  • @birdy47 The pakistanis I know are not as dark as the keyboardist.

  • Being a Pakistani/Musician/Beatle fanatic I know for a fact that when you are making a melody you stick whatever lyrics will make it sound somewhat complete. As someone stated below it is part of the creative process. Cmon ppl Beatles were all about peace and love! I am just glad they say Pakistanis :D

  • @AzeemS Paul wrote the lyrics, not as a poke to Pakistani people, but as poke to the anti-immigration movement that existed in Great Britain at that time. It's a parody, he's playing the role of the British politician, telling the Pakistani people to get back, to shine a light on how ridiculous it is. I like it!

  • fruck beatles.

  • Look -

    Let's Get REAL - The Beatles were Precient, a/k/a forward seeing. The UK is NOT IN LOVE - with its MUSLIM, WEST ASIAN - a/k/a Pakistani - immigrants - Wonder Why? - I Don't! - Want ANY of them HERE? Thank Goodness that the USA became a Per - Treaty Independent Nation in 1783. Otherwise, WE might have to put up with their Juvenile Stupid- up-id-i-did-ity - HERE! Sorry 'bout that UK. All 'y'all deal with those ROTTERS! - Like Captain/Mullah Hook - DUH! -S-

  • It was meant to be a satire on anti-immigration like Alf Garnett/Archie Bunker.

    They probably ditched it because people would have got the wrong idea. This tape didn't surface until 1986 and was never meant to see the light of day.

  • @jackwilshiresfakeid

    If it was only innocent satire then why was it never meant to see the light of day?

  • @mandelbaums I've already answered that, too many would have took it at face value. After all Til Death Us Do Part is not half an hour of an old bigot making paki jokes, you've got Tony Blair's future son in law playing the liberal.

  • @jackwilshiresfakeid

    Obviously they had racist leanings but opted to 'go along to get along' to maintain their careers.

  • @mandelbaums How do you know that then? Are they friends of yours? If Lennon's got racist leanings why did he marry a Japanese woman? I think one of the reasons this idea was ditched was because, as you've already shown, the yanks don't get irony.

  • @jackwilshiresfakeid What the hell is irony? Go USA!

  • @mandelbaums and BTW - after Powell's rivers of blood speech a Times Poll showed that 75% of people in the UK supported Powell. Comedy shows like Love Thy Neighbour which were half an hour of 'nig-nog' and 'honky' jibes got 20 million viewers, Bernard Manning became very popular with 'paki' jokes in the 70s. Eric Clapton launched into an on stage tirade against 'wogs' and 'Enoch was right' in 1976, doing no harm to his career. How do you find that this would hurt their careers if exposed in '69?

  • @mandelbaums fuck you dumd ass

  • @jackwilshiresfakeid You're dead wrong about the release date. I heard this version in the early seventies. It was released as part of the original Let it Be double LP that was called back. A very limited pressing, but it was out there. It saw the light of day at the time it was recorded. I know many people "feel" they know the Beatles, but this song and the other nazi /racist song they recorded, "Get Off/ White Power," makes you wonder who they really were/are.

  • @jackwilshiresfakeid You are exactly right, there is nothing funnier than millions of backward violent third world primitives invading and destroying every White Homeland on Earth!

  • @CelticSouthland White homeland - think the American indians might have something to say about that

  • @CelticSouthland Q: Why did white man go to the moon? A: Because they thought that indians had land up there.

  • @jackwilshiresfakeid No, I had the bootleg of this in the 70's. Puerto Ricans living in the USA is not satire. Mostly I take this sing as anti Yoko, since he could sing it looking at her while under the cover of the song. Screaming at the end is definitely at Yoko. Understood.

  • @jackwilshiresfakeid I first heard it in 1982.

  • This wasn't a serious recording or anything. If you listen to Paul's voice as he was singing, you can tell that they were fooling around. Part of the creative process or whatever. The Beatles didn't release this recording. It was leaked. Kind of like how people tell jokes privately that they wouldn't say publicly. I'm sure they figured nobody would hear this except maybe the crew. I wish this recording would be officially released along with "Geh Raus" and "Commonwealth" and "White Power" etc.

  • only beatles lyrics i ever agreed with

  • Fuck immigrants,liberals,left side,communist,homo-lesbian sodomists!Strong Europa!!!

  • this tune is very cool.

  • Is that first verse even English? Lol all I understood was "USA"

  • I love The Beatles singing about taboo things - what geniuses! The Beatles weren't racist!

    Lol @ all the hate for Muslims and Pakistanis. As Ian Brown put it so eloquently 'you got the fear'. You are entitled to your views. Hate away! It don't bother most people. Hate is hate, isn't it? :)

  • BTW, I have to bring this up after reading it on another posting of this song.

    Doesn't Macca sound a helluva lot like Pee-Wee Herman at the end?

  • I wish all the Muslims would get back.

  • Agreed!

  • Ive a song for the Muslims "Fuck off"

  • you are a cunt

  • oh yeah why's that?

  • its having a go at enoch powells river of blood speech

  • "Meanwhile back at home there's nineteen Pakistanis,

    Living in a c
