Three years eh? Hum .... OK, considering it's been longer than 3 years since I have uploaded a video. I can understand. I'll subscribe. Two or three reasons .... I love the Beatles, I remember hearing Hey Jude for the first time .. it waa in 1968. 3rd and final reason .. in 2.5 hours I will be 63 years old and still hopefully have time left to hear more of the Beatles anomalies you spoke of here.
I’ve ALWAYS heard that, but I didn’t know it was “fucking hell.” I just always heard John Lennon saying something with his wit within the concept of the recording, a live performance. I don’t know which parts were added later and how it was mixed. But, I’ve always heard John talking at that part. I’ve even mimicked his voice there while singing along.
I'm pretty sure that it was John who said it. He sings let her into your skin instead of under. At the lyric he says ' oh bloody hell's and then after he drops the f bomb.
But I heard this in 1974 when I was 12. You can clearly hear a ‘fucking hell’ curse after a fluffed vocal that hasn’t been cleaned from a backing vocal track. It’s nice that others discover this for themselves. Otherwise I would have made a similar post to a usenet group or something in about 1990 😀

JabbaFett It was the first number one single to reach seven minutes. The video makes that clear. As said above, MacArthur Park by Richard Harris came out a few weeks before Hey Jude, and that was a top five hit on both sides of the Atlantic.
It was Paul McCartney who said it out of frustration due to hitting the wrong key on piano. John Lennon insisted on leaving it. But they dropped it to a low register that not many people would hear. 🤷🏻♀️ It was pretty much a joke between them, lol. John Lennon saying, “Most people won’t ever hear it, but we’ll know it’s there.”
From the way it is said, kind of calmly, I think it was John startled by the high volume on the headphones. It just sounds more like what anyone would say in that situation, missing a key on the piano would be more frustrating
Glen Larson the Beatles overdubbed and multitracked a whole lot and especially this song. Meaning they often separated many instrumental and vocal recordings to put them all together for the finished song. So realistically Paul could have been recording just the vocals and then the band separately recorded the instrumentals in which Paul says "fucking hell" In reaction to messing up a chord on the piano. They would have had to use separate recordings because one would have had to been the bass guitar which Paul played as well as the piano in this song.
@@Larsonlaneent They would have done a rhythm track with Paul on piano, George on bass, John on guitar and Ringo on drums, then vocals would have been added later
Rachel Eichelberger I don’t think this is possible because it does not appear in the piano nor vocal track when you listen to it in stereo. However it is in center with the backing vocal track. So it more aligns with the engineers story than johns.
I love the absolute charisma The Beatles had. Like you could hear the note on the piano that Paul missed clear as day, as well as one of them screaming a very vocal "ooohhh" before the actual f-bomb was dropped. But they chose to keep going. Not out of any requirement mind you, but because they were making Hey Jude. They were so confident in how good this song was that they were willing to leave one of the most taboo words clearly audible just because they knew they'd be forgiven, and by god it worked out for them. That is absolutely glorious.

This is fine and I enjoy content that is thoughtful and thorough, but I feel I was promised something different than what I received with this video.
The day I bought this single I played it repeatedly until I had every word right down to the last fade. I thought this was George calling “ take it up” as the lead in to the coda...?? That was my take right back on day one in 1968. What a masterpiece...!!
Nicholas Teixeira It has to be Paul because it’s the piano that messed up. John yells right before that “got the wrong chord”. After the word “skin”, you can hear the “ord” of chord
I think it's George, personally, because in the Let it Be film, despite many seeing he's not the type to do that, he doesn't shy away from profanity. It just sounds a lot like George.
Beatles' recording engineer Geoff Emerick in his book "Here, There, & Everywhere" says it's Paul, and that they knew it was there and got a kick out of leaving it in there. He added that they often left in "messy" bits to keep it human. While they did do quite a bit of tape editing, he maintains that digital editing technology to make everything "perfect" has sucked the life out of music, and that the goal was always to capture the best "performance".
I was always led to believe that in the previous phrase, one of them sang "let her under your skin" whilst the other sang "let her into your heart" which ended up with one of them swearing. Could be wrong. I normally am. Ask my wife.
2:17 in the beginning of the Music Video for Revolution which is the B-side to Hey Jude you can see George mouthing to Paul. “John’s mic is s*it”. So it could’ve been George

It was absolutely glorious. Thanks for your in-depth analysis. It certainly enhances and informs my memories of living through it. Rock On
it could have been George because if I know him and I know a lot about him he did swear a lot plus he was playing bass and could have easily messed up a little as he is not all that used to it
According to Paul (via the Beatle's anthology) when he played it to John he said he'd fix the line "the movement you need is on your shoulder". Paraphrasing a bit he said, "Oh no you won't, that's the best line in the song." After John's untimely passing, when Paul would play Hey Jude live he admitted to getting emotional when approaching that part of the song...❤️
You can hear Paul saying "Bloody hell," in the fade out on "1234567, all good children go to heaven" on Abbey Road. After listening to that record a hundred times, I happened to have it really loud on the fade out and thought I heard something. Then I replayed it over and over and it is unmistakable. The funny thing is I've never read about it anywhere, I just discovered it on my own one day about 30 years ago and just assumed people knew it was there. I've never even bothered to mention it to anyone to this day until now. But for the record, it's there. You should check it out...and with this one you can tell it's Paul. You need to have it REALLY loud on the fade out to hear it.
This was recorded at Trident Studios. The studio my dad Norman created. I was told by Malcolm Toft (who worked for Dad), it was John saying “whoah, f**ing hell,” during a vocal overdub as the level was too loud when the lead vocal came back in. And the reason why it was left in was accidental because once you bounced down on 8 track, you couldn’t go back and undo the mix. Thanks for this channel All the best.
Wow - thanks for the comment and kind words about the channel! I imagine you have a trove of memories and stories from your Dad’s legacy. I’d love to get in touch, drop me a line: youcantunhearthis @ gmail.com
"We were having so much fun that we even left in the swearing around halfway through, when I made a mistake on the piano part. You have to listen carefully to hear it, but it’s there." - Paul McCartney on his lyrics: ‘Eroticism was a driving force behind everything I wrote’
paige the rat the legend goes that Paul died in a car crash in 1966. And they say he was replaced with a lookalike. And some people called the lookalike “faul”.
What do I love about this post? Your memory of the first time you heard Hey Jude. I was startled not by Summer camp but by "the Beatles Anthology CD" reference!!! Your comment is a great reminder that what George Martin said is true. "Each generation that comes along, finds them (the Beatles) for themselves." Born in 1961, the Beatles were always there in my life, but I do have memories of hearing Yesterday on the radio in my father's brand new 1966 Impala so I grew up with the Beatles each changing of their look and sounds. Thanks for your channel. Just found it and subscribed. Gonna love exploring all the Beatles goodies you have found!!
Honestly sounds like George to me. He had the most severe Scouse accent of the four. I've seen a lot of interviews with him, and it sounds like him here to me.
2:19 No, the overhead mic(s) would definitely pick up a drummer's voice too. Even more so back then when they most likely used a single mono overhead directly above the him.
Not only did John gleefully attribute the peccadillo to Paul (whose angelic image he was always keen to discourage), the spoken phrase is in Paul's speaking register - in fact, the notes of the phrase are approximately A - A - Bb, about a major third higher than John would have spoken the same phrase. Paul had a high voice with a deep formant, producing a richer timbre, while John (and George, BTW) had a deeper voice with a higher formant, resulting in a more nasal quality. Somebody ask Paul, though, just for the record...?
It's nice that you distinctly remember hearing Hey Jude for the first time from the anthology cd. I remember the first time I heard it too. It was on the radio when it came out in 1968. That was startling and moving. I thought damn! They did it again. How much better can they get?
I first heard it when i started rifling through my mom and dads records. They had it on a 45. I had actually listened to the revolution side first. Thought that was pretty damn cool. Then i flipped it... Whoa. One of my faves
James Picklehead - I, too, recall very well hearing this for the first time on the radio. The Beatles had been out of the public limelight for two years, & fans were dying for any news, including any new material, from them. There'd been a prior buildup by the station that they would be playing a new Beatles song. When they finally did play Hey Jude, a whispering voice-over came at about 45 second intervals saying "This is a CKO M first". It really irritated me, spoiling the song to some extent. I thought the song was pretty good, though. It actually turned out to be my all-time favourite Beatles song.
I first heard it when it was a single in 1968, I was just a kid. My oldest brother got the latest Beatle songs. Jude was playing everywhere all the time, this was in Texas near Dallas. The Beatles were just so cool, we all loved them.
Whoever said it said “bloody hell”. I listened with my really good headphones which are really good at picking up the center channel at full volume. I could hear it clear as day.
It's in Geoff Emerick's book. He says John told him Paul hit a clunker on the piano and 'said a naughty word'. He said Paul said 'fucking hell'. And Paul himself has said many times that he wrote the song for Julian.
This song showcases Paul and John singing together. They sound fantastic. I don't know what it is about these two vocalizing together, but it's beautiful. You know that Paul nicked the song from a band called the Zephyrs, right? Not really but a great April fool's joke. Check this video on TH-cam, it should still be out there "Beatles, 'Hey Jude' Scandal!" Great vid. As for the F-Bomb...I'd never noticed it until this video...and now I can't unhear it. I should've headed your warning LOL. Speaking of great videos, yours always are. Thanks.
I heard it when I listened for the first time and I'm almost sure that it says "let it out", I even say it while singing on my own" And after watching this video it's still "let it out" for me
It was probably George and his sorta deep voice. He’s done it before. In the first nippon budokan concert, at the last verse of ‘If I Needed Someone,’ George sings “If I f**kin’ needed someone.” If it wasn’t, it was probably Ringo. It sounds like him on octopus’s garden but auto tuned to him speaking, of course with swearing.
I always heard that, but I thought it was Paul saying "Ok, now"--and to me, it was his telling the others that they were heading into the second part of the song.
You're right I can't unhear it, even though I didn't watch this video for a few months I listened to hey jude and heard it even though I wasn't trying to
you're a generous genius. it's wonderful to learn about all these hidden gems. i've been hearing them for years, and now i know a whole new songs over those i cherish in memory. thank you. best!
Mary Wealth You can clearly hear the drummer scream “F**K!!!” because he dropped his stick. It’s hard to hear but once you hear it, you can’t unhear it.”
@@guitarmatricide4834 Well, I wouldn't say you can "clearly" hear what word he's shouting, but Wikipedia does cite THREE different sources to confirm the claim. So thanks for the info! I learn something new every day about old music.
In Geoff Emeric's book "Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles" it was Paul double tracking his lead vocal and he says "Bloody Hell". Interestingly enough it's a young Ken Scott shown in the BBC film showing the sessions for Hey Jude.
Martin Sims This is why Ken was so critical of Geoff’s book. I know Ken and he said that it was John who screamed and cursed when the headphones were turned up too loud. Mystery solved!

Martin McCauslin no it says “I like trains”
The turtle is dead
You can hear Paul saying "Bloody hell," in the fade out on "1234567, all good children go to heaven" on Abbey Road. After listening to that record a hundred times, I happened to have it really loud on the fade out and thought I heard something. Then I replayed it over and over and it is unmistakable. The funny thing is I've never read about it anywhere, I just discovered it on my own one day about 30 years ago and just assumed people knew it was there. I've never even bothered to mention it to anyone to this day until now. But for the record, it's there. You should check it out...and with this one you can tell it's Paul. You need to have it REALLY loud on the fade out to hear it.
This was recorded at Trident Studios. The studio my dad Norman created.
I was told by Malcolm Toft (who worked for Dad), it was John saying “whoah, f**ing hell,” during a vocal overdub as the level was too loud when the lead vocal came back in. And the reason why it was left in was accidental because once you bounced down on 8 track, you couldn’t go back and undo the mix.
Thanks for this channel
All the best.
Wow - thanks for the comment and kind words about the channel! I imagine you have a trove of memories and stories from your Dad’s legacy.
I’d love to get in touch, drop me a line: youcantunhearthis @ gmail.com
@@YouCantUnhearThis you’re welcome I’ll drop you a line now.
unknowingly clicked this on the 55th anniversary of the single's release
when i looked up the release date i actually said "holy shrimp" out loud
Paul
This is the song that introduce me to The Beatles, I cant be more grateful
What I really can't ever unhear is Jimi Hendrix clearing his throat in Foxy Lady.
Same . Between foxy and now a
"We were having so much fun that we even left in the swearing around halfway through, when I made a mistake on the piano part. You have to listen carefully to hear it, but it’s there."
- Paul McCartney on his lyrics: ‘Eroticism was a driving force behind everything I wrote’
Wow... This is one off my favorite Beatles song but you're right, I can't unhear that
Here's a side fact: The Beatles say, "Hey Jude" 18 times in their chorus while Paul (or Faul?) screams out different phrases throughout.
Mikey_Suze Four who. is faul
paige the rat the legend goes that Paul died in a car crash in 1966. And they say he was replaced with a lookalike. And some people called the lookalike “faul”.
@@stuarthuntofficial :0
@@stuarthuntofficial As in "faux (fake) Paul" (might seem obvious but I'm betting that's what some people were wondering)
Paul’s not dead and even if he is he had good music prior to the car wreck so it don’t really matter anyway
The coda fits lovely with Elbow’s One Day Like This as has been demonstrated love a fair number of times.
What do I love about this post? Your memory of the first time you heard Hey Jude. I was startled not by Summer camp but by "the Beatles Anthology CD" reference!!!
Your comment is a great reminder that what George Martin said is true. "Each generation that comes along, finds them (the Beatles) for themselves."
Born in 1961, the Beatles were always there in my life, but I do have memories of hearing Yesterday on the radio in my father's brand new 1966 Impala so I grew up with the Beatles each changing of their look and sounds.
Thanks for your channel. Just found it and subscribed. Gonna love exploring all the Beatles goodies you have found!!
Dang, ive been hearing that for 45 years and thought it was Paul.
Ive wondered about it for all these years!!
Thank you
I hope you do more ❤️😊
If u listen back it is thought that they could have said “take it out”
Honestly sounds like George to me. He had the most severe Scouse accent of the four. I've seen a lot of interviews with him, and it sounds like him here to me.
2:19 No, the overhead mic(s) would definitely pick up a drummer's voice too. Even more so back then when they most likely used a single mono overhead directly above the him.
Watched this video a few years ago. Now I definitely can't unhear the f-bomb! I listen for it every time now! Sounds like John to me.
Not only did John gleefully attribute the peccadillo to Paul (whose angelic image he was always keen to discourage), the spoken phrase is in Paul's speaking register - in fact, the notes of the phrase are approximately A - A - Bb, about a major third higher than John would have spoken the same phrase. Paul had a high voice with a deep formant, producing a richer timbre, while John (and George, BTW) had a deeper voice with a higher formant, resulting in a more nasal quality. Somebody ask Paul, though, just for the record...?
It's Elvis. He's saying "I've just left the building!"
I believe the beatles creativity literally saved the world from unspeakable grief during those awful times.
I think its john saying "bloody hell"
No one says bloody hell
@@dant-m7b uh you havent been to england or watched anything then have you
You didnt make that clear though you should of said john never says bloody hell not no says bloody hell
Agreed, sounds like bloody hell to me.
Should HAVE said. Or should've. NEVER OF.
It's nice that you distinctly remember hearing Hey Jude for the first time from the anthology cd. I remember the first time I heard it too. It was on the radio when it came out in 1968. That was startling and moving. I thought damn! They did it again. How much better can they get?
I first heard it when i started rifling through my mom and dads records. They had it on a 45. I had actually listened to the revolution side first. Thought that was pretty damn cool. Then i flipped it...
Whoa.
One of my faves
James Picklehead - I, too, recall very well hearing this for the first time on the radio. The Beatles had been out of the public limelight for two years, & fans were dying for any news, including any new material, from them. There'd been a prior buildup by the station that they would be playing a new Beatles song. When they finally did play Hey Jude, a whispering voice-over came at about 45 second intervals saying "This is a CKO M first". It really irritated me, spoiling the song to some extent. I thought the song was pretty good, though. It actually turned out to be my all-time favourite Beatles song.
Its interesting that I also remember the very first time that i heard this song
I first heard it when it was a single in 1968, I was just a kid. My oldest brother got the latest Beatle songs. Jude was playing everywhere all the time, this was in Texas near Dallas. The Beatles were just so cool, we all loved them.
Whoever said it said “bloody hell”. I listened with my really good headphones which are really good at picking up the center channel at full volume. I could hear it clear as day.
I think is a "bloody hell" said by George because he's a savage sass boi
George wasn't involved with Hey Jude. He and Paul had an argument about it and George didn't play on it
@@terminallumbago6465 haha, that's proving the second part of her point further, lol
It was John because in the background you hear him say ow while Paul was singing and the voices are identical.
First time you heard it was on a CD!?! God I’m old
When I first heard “hey Jude”
I had a classmate called Jude, that I was good friends with
I was gonna make a gift for him using “hey Jude”
Why didn't you
Mike Weston I forgot to do it before school was over :(
Mike Weston I may still do it anyway
It's in Geoff Emerick's book. He says John told him Paul hit a clunker on the piano and 'said a naughty word'. He said Paul said 'fucking hell'. And Paul himself has said many times that he wrote the song for Julian.
Great video! According to Geoff Emerik’s book it was bloody hell said during an overdub of Paul’s local
It sounds like he says either turn me on dead man or goo goo goo joob
no, i think it’s more “i burried paul.”
coo coo coo choo
Stop :(
ronfowlermusic .... Wasn't that the phrase from Mrs. Robinson instead?
Galaxy Rocks yeah yeah yeah
That was actually the studio producer coming to the realization that they had a hit.
This song showcases Paul and John singing together. They sound fantastic. I don't know what it is about these two vocalizing together, but it's beautiful. You know that Paul nicked the song from a band called the Zephyrs, right? Not really but a great April fool's joke. Check this video on TH-cam, it should still be out there "Beatles, 'Hey Jude' Scandal!" Great vid. As for the F-Bomb...I'd never noticed it until this video...and now I can't unhear it. I should've headed your warning LOL. Speaking of great videos, yours always are. Thanks.
I heard it when I listened for the first time and I'm almost sure that it says "let it out", I even say it while singing on my own"
And after watching this video it's still "let it out" for me
It was probably George and his sorta deep voice. He’s done it before. In the first nippon budokan concert, at the last verse of ‘If I Needed Someone,’ George sings “If I f**kin’ needed someone.” If it wasn’t, it was probably Ringo. It sounds like him on octopus’s garden but auto tuned to him speaking, of course with swearing.
Auto tuning didn't exist back then.
auto tuning didn't exist but regular manual pitch shifting did
I love it when the algorithm throws out a bit of gold-dust like this.
I think it's Paul
It's not Paul (William) he was taking a breath after singing BEGIN...
It sounds like John's voice
DIRGES in the DARK Paul*
William doesn’t exist
ty vsauce
I believe someone says, "Okay now..." at 1:31.
Which meant .... here comes the major change in the song.
Perfect timing. Seriously.
i didn’t think the “f-bomb” was hidden ? 😂
I always heard that, but I thought it was Paul saying "Ok, now"--and to me, it was his telling the others that they were heading into the second part of the song.
I HAD NOTICED THIS BEFORE BUT THOUGHT I JUST IMAGINED IT!!! I wasn't just hearing things, it's actually there, wow
Paul has been naughty naughty naughty 🤫
Also, Kitty from That 70's Show in the center left background at 4:32
Fuzzy Dunlop but that Kitty there is ugly lmfao
nah right next to her i see Michael Kelso aka Ashton Kutcher.
You're right I can't unhear it, even though I didn't watch this video for a few months I listened to hey jude and heard it even though I wasn't trying to
I actually think its George.
It also says "Wrong Chord" Just a second before.
George didn't play on Hey Jude. He sat that one out in a spat with Paul.
I read somewhere it was Lennon who broke a string on his guitar and said oooh fucking hell.I think it was Lennon anyway bacause he cursed the most.
sitvisjes paul hit the wrong hit on his piano and he said that but they decided to keep it anyways
well there is a video where paul mccartney says fuckface when they're making let it be
you're a generous genius. it's wonderful to learn about all these hidden gems. i've been hearing them for years, and now i know a whole new songs over those i cherish in memory. thank you. best!
If somebody hasn't mentioned it before---sorry if I'm mentioning it again---but The Kingsmen's "Louie Louie" drops the F-Bomb, too.
Where? Point it out.
Mary Wealth You can clearly hear the drummer scream “F**K!!!” because he dropped his stick.

Well, I wouldn't say you can "clearly" hear what word he's shouting, but Wikipedia does cite THREE different sources to confirm the claim.
So thanks for the info! I learn something new every day about old music.
One of their greatest songs. Still sounds incredible in 2020.
I cannot believe I wasted minutes of my life to hear this silliness. It might have been amusing if I was 13.
I thought it was "let it out" like "let it out and let it in"
Thank you!
It was probably Paul because Yoko walked in
Stolen comment :(
@@johnbean9797 what
@@3m0tw1nk3 Someone already came up with this comment.
@@theflano23 ah well I did not see that comment
Who else is glad to see this channel come back??
In Geoff Emeric's book "Here, There and Everywhere: My Life Recording the Music of the Beatles" it was Paul double tracking his lead vocal and he says "Bloody Hell". Interestingly enough it's a young Ken Scott shown in the BBC film showing the sessions for Hey Jude.
Martin Sims This is why Ken was so critical of Geoff’s book. I know Ken and he said that it was John who screamed and cursed when the headphones were turned up too loud. Mystery solved!
I always thought it was “ok now” to let everyone know the change in the song
Exactly what it is.
They weren't just musical geniuses, they're also the first hip-hop band.
You know you're really old when you heard this song first played on the radio when you were in Junior high.
Yikes. Im in middle school now.
