I'm So Tired

I'm So Tired is a Beatles song from the double-disc album The Beatles.

It was primarily written by John Lennon, though credited to Lennon/McCartney. Lennon wrote the song at a Transcendental Meditation camp when he couldn't sleep. The Beatles had gone on a retreat to study with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Rishikesh, India. After three weeks of constant meditation and lectures, Lennon mind was turning to cigarettes and a drink, it was also turning to Yoko who he had not started an affair with yet. He had entertained he idea of bringing Yoko to India, but realized how complicated it would have been having his then wife Cynthia and Yoko under the same roof

Recording
The song was recorded at Abbey Road on 8 October 1968 and was completed including all overdubs in this one session. The Beatles also started and completed the Lennon-composed "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill" during the same recording session.

Relation to the 'Paul is dead' hoax
At the end of this song, mumbling can be heard that sounds like "Ssim mih, ssim mihm, ssim mih. Nam ded see lope." When played backwards, some claim a scared voice intones, "Paul is dead, man, miss him, miss him, MISS HIM!" although there have been other claims that on different versions of this song, Lennon can be heard mumbling the words "Monsieur, monsieur, monsieur, how about another one?" The mumbling may be Lennon's attempt at speaking in reverse, without physically reversing the sound.
