UPDATE......... sorry I didn't point this out in my previous post, but when you listen to the "Hard Day's Night" version of this song, the mistake is not there.
He laughed a little at the end of the line "was in vain" because of how high he had to go with that last note on the word "vain"...... no mistake but interesting.
Oh.......this is totally cool. In my whole 56 years of life (less the few years prior to the recording of "If I Fell") I've heard this flub. There is another vesion where this is not heard. Until now, no one I've ever pointed this out to had never noticed. Sir Paul is King! But nice to know he is human.
Actually I noticed that mistake too. This was taken from the remastered version of A Hard Days Night and I this song is one of my favourites on that album and when I heard the remastered edition (which sounds excellent with John's double track voice) I noticed I heard Paul choke or something on that verse which wasnt on the older CD or Record version. But either way, it is an excellent song!
what's the mistake? none of the beatles had great voices :P they just wrote weird songs that don't make too much song... "i am the walrus"?!?! they were just having fun and getting high :P
@MrNocco That is the most retarded thing i have ever heard. The Beatles were more artistic then anyone the last 100 years. And they had remarkable voices. Anyone with a little musical knowledge should be able to see that, even if they don't personally like their voices.
@MrEspenBakke oh cmon they didnt have that good voices, sure they werent bad, but it's not their voices that made them big it was their music and beats and weird lyrics that people could interprete the way they liked :P
@MrNocco I can see how people say they're not great technical guitar players, but they're voices are truly good in many ways. Maybe you can explain why they're not great singers.
@MrEspenBakke i don't know, their voices just don't seem that special to me.... compared to other singers that were known especially for their voices such as whitney houston for an example :P
@MrNocco well ok, i don't know if your a beatles fan and know their songs but you should check out Paul. He's definitely a great singer. On songs like Oh Darling, helter skelter, i'm looking through you, got to get you into my life. And John's a great singer because there's so much passion: My favorite is Dont let me down.
Because The Beatles hated repetition, they usually twisted the verses (he/she, her/him, etc). This made it challenging to sing correctly. If you want to hear mistakes, go listen to the various studio 'Takes' for their songs. They had fun along the way.
Wow if your voice cracks you just get on with it but no if paul mccartneys voice cracks oh no call the police paul made a mistake my god tisk tisk tisk
It's THIS kind of content that makes me question the wisdom of allowing just anyone to upload videos on YouTube. What a waste of 21 seconds of my life. The mistake made was too late in life to correct for the parents of this self-loving "s----- ass----". We should have known that any content from a member with such a debased and rude User ID would offer video content to match the quality of his name...
What was I listening for. You have to be more specific.Some times I think they did things to give it a little edge or uniqueness. The way they need to rhyme like when saw came out as sarw and odd things like that. Nothing unusual for them.
I don't get the hate for this video...the poster didn't say "WOW PAUL IS A RETARD HE MADE A MISTAKE LOLOLOLOL" he said he made a mistake, listen. Calm down, I heard the mistake...not a big one at all, I've heard worse in other Beatles songs but it was interesting. And it's not really a mistake...he just stopped singing when John sang. More John's fault.
The mistake was that Paul's voice cracked. It is kind of hard to hear but on the song If I Fell you can hear it better. I love you Paul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep on rockin' :)
The original recording of If I fell did not include this vocal crack - it was in making the remasters, the capitol engineer actually used the wrong take - this one - which included this little mess up. The vocal take was returned to the vault without being aware of the issue.
Good ears, not many people catch this kinda thing.
I´ve allways heard that Paul didn´t hit the high note with ease, but I liked it, still do; you know what ..Paul did a dubb on that note some twenty thirty years later when they put the songs on CD, I prefer the old version. As long as it is a good vibe and it´s not disturbing, and as someone says here.. I can´t even hear what should be a misstake. Thanks.
How thoroughly fascinating! And at 1:42, you can hear Ringo call out, "I have to take a sh*t!" Paul answers with, ""Can you wait until the f*cking song is finished?!" Ringo answers with, "But it's running down me f*cking leg!" At which point Paul says, "Oh f*cking hell." And at 5:04, George farts. And at 6:02, Yoko blows her nose. And at 7:19, George Martin orders a pizza. And at 8:12, I fall asleep.
Always heard that it's great! He laughs...or snickers in Maxwells Silver Hammer too! Right before he sings: "Writing 50 times I must not be so oh oh oh." Paul Laugs and it is cool.
so what if he did? The Beatles are/were human just like anyone else and made were mistakes using less technology than crap today where theres lots of technology to fix and prevent mistakes yet the music is aweful. BEATLES 4 EVER
The "mistake" is just that he cuts short of holding the word "vain" which just makes the song even better. Why does it have to be perfect, polished, and edited?
Are you kidding? It's what MAKES the song so great! It's a true signature of their youth and innocence. Its perfect. Wouldn't want it any other way! Thanks Paul!
Everyone messes up. There is no such thing as perfection. You mess up, you move on, laugh about it later. Paul is fantastic and brilliant but of course he will mess up a couple of times, and we will still love him for that ^^

@johnwinstonlennon1 Fine, but I'm 100% positive of that's John who's making the **** "mistake".
How to recognise each Beatle's voice:
John Lennon - deep, soft and raspy voice at the same time, powerful
Paul McCartney - soft, high, lingering, powerful voice
George Harrison - soft, sweet voice (John's voice is higher)
Ringo Starr - high, deep "macho" voice (deeper than John)
