Come Together


Go listen to the Beatles’ Come Together and tell me if you hear the words Amazon hears.

I don’t mean simple misinterpretations, such as how I hear:

“Hold you in his arms, yeah you can feel his disease”

… when it’s supposedly

“Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease.”

No, I mean the “Shoops.” A Beatle or a synthesier is making a repetitive “Shoop” sound through the song, which Amazon tells me is:

Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me
Shoot me

and this article says it’s — even worse — John Lennon singing “Shoot me,” but then it doubles back and says it’s a heroin reference, which is a step up.
