Then, around the 2:58 mark, Paul yells the "expletive" due to the bad chord. John Lennon said "'Paul hit a clunker on the piano and said a naughty word, but I insisted we leave it in, buried just low enough so that it can barely be heard. Most people won't ever spot it...but we'll know it's there."
