Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is barely heard said by John Lennon at the very end of "Strawberry Fields Forever"?

Answer: cranberry sauce

This has often been mistaken for, "I buried Paul". Some people believe that "I buried Paul" is really what he was saying, but those people are wrong. John claimed that what he said was, "Cranberry sauce".

2. Which song on the "Sgt. Pepper" album includes "Paul is Dead" hysteria?

Answer: A Day in the Life

When John sings, "He blew his mind out in a car", he was supposedly talking about Paul's death (the rumor was that he died in a car accident).

3. There was hysteria indicating Paul's death in the "Magical Mystery Tour" film. Which segment was this seen in?

Answer: the "Your Mother Should Know" segment

In this segment of the movie, the other three Beatles have red flowers on their tuxedos, but Paul has a black flower.

4. Does the song, "I am the Walrus" contain any hysteria about Paul's death?

Answer: Yes

Near the end of the song, there is a Shakespearean actor saying these lines such as, "What, is he dead?", "Bury my body", and "O, untimely death."

5. In "Glass Onion", John makes a reference to which song that revealed evidence of Paul's death?

Answer: I Am the Walrus

"I told you about the walrus and me, man. I tell you, we're as close as can be, man. Well, here's another clue for you all: The walrus was Paul." In Scandinavia, the walrus is an image of death.

6. Where in the song, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", does George Harrison mention any "Paul is Dead" hysteria?

Answer: at the end

At the end of the song, George is moaning. His moaning sounds like he's saying, "Paul, Paul, Paul..." as if he misses Paul because of his death.

7. In what song is there a small part where if you play it backwards, you can hear: "Paul is a dead man, miss him, miss him, miss him"?

Answer: I'm So Tired

At the very end of the song, after the music stops, there is some quiet mumbling that if played backwards says the most famous hidden message in Beatles history.

8. Which Beatle wrote the song, "Don't Pass Me By"?

Answer: Ringo

This song contains lyrics about a car crash. Some people thought this was refering to McCartney's supposed fatal crash.

Answer: Number Nine...Number Nine...

Supposedly, if this is played backwards, it becomes, "Turn me on, dead man."

10. On the cover of the "Abbey Road" album, what role is Paul playing?

Answer: corpse

The corpse is also known as "the dead man". In 1993, Paul McCartney released a live album. This album's cover showed him wearing a corpse costume walking his dog across Abbey Road. The live album was entitled, "Paul is Live", which sounds a lot like, "Paul is Alive".
