The best thing about a song of unknown origin is that you can sample it as much as you want and no one will ever sue! [trollface]

If you prove that you made this song, I will post a video of Bing Crosby singing Beat it. I'm super duper serious.

Why can't any one just ask the remaing beatles if they ever recorded this song in 67

2:38 Harrison's voice clearly

[wellyes]

absolutely NOT the Beatles. It's so obvious,

What gets me the most with this track is the back masked voice near the end of the track. I've reversed it yet still can't decipher what it's saying. Very similar to what The Beatles used to do.

If no one is claiming this track, then it is mine, yours, everyone's. Public domain. Anyone can do anything they want with it. You can even make money with it without acknowledgements or paying royalties.

@magicmage316 He didn't make it, this song first appeared on bootlegs in 1977. Learn your facts before making a fool of yourself.

@kimonsk But at 2:20 I can't put my finger on who that is singing. The rest sounds like George and/or John, but the piece starting at 2:20 makes me think its someone doing a damn good imitation. I'm not sure why they would do an imitation just to throw it in the trash though.

[ChrisPenta]

@kimonsk Ah I was not aware of that. As there is no way to prove or disprove this songs legitimacy at this point in history, I just go off of feel. It just feels like a Beatles track. Eh, can't hurt to let people think what they want at this point.

[kimonsk]

@ChrisPenta it's called the travis-picking. John was tought this picking technique in 1968 by Donovan, and not in 1967, when this song is supposed to be written.

[kimonsk]

In some parts the vocal sound like John/George, but in the "It really just begun" part (2:20) I'm almost certain it's not a beatle voice.
