The first "conspiracy theory" I remember: that Paulie was really hollering That Word on the fourth beat of his count.
I think today we all can accept the fact that the lads were just too polite to even be thinking that in the studio. But it was a debated point back in Mr. Phillips' 5th grade class at Woodland School. I always leaned toward the "FUCK!!!" theory, but mostly out of wishful thinking. Deep inside, I knew he really said "FAH!!!"
Below is an alternate version. In his dramatis personae, so to speak, John is voiced to sound like The Poor Man's Ape Named Ape, meaning a very pale echo of Ronald Colman.
These delightfully wretched cartoons, produced by Al Brodax, came along in 1965 as Saturday morning diversions. If I remember accurately, viewing these cartoons provided my first experience with cognitive dissonance.

Ah, yes, the old obscene Beatles lyrics. But not as big a conspiracy as when Paul died in a car crash 2 years later.
ReplyDeleteI don't ever remember seeing these cartoons. Probably too busy doing household chores and studying on Saturday mornings whilst the Eloi sat about mindlessly watching teevee and snacking on corrugated cardboard.
I was wondering how ruminating about these 50 year old rock songs now would seem to current 5th graders. I suppose similar to how you remembered the big hits of 1914 back then. Remember Ballin' the Jack and It's a Long Long Way to Tipperary? And who could forget Joe Hayman's classic in the number 10 spot that year-- Cohen on the Telephone.
Cartoonist as asymmetric political force, accent, or condiment...

(possible book idea). The d&q title, as search term, also brings up a curious collection of images.
