Revolution 9

Revolution 9 is sound collage by John Lennon. The song is an extended version of the "original" Revolution (song) and the purpose behind it was to show the revolution in all its madness and confusion. It was included on The Beatles album (also known as The White Album), despite the fact that the other members of the Beatles fought hard against John Lennon and Yoko Ono to keep it off the White Album.

Additionally, the song played backwards also contributes to the infamous "Paul is dead" hoax, as the phrase "Number 9, Number 9" played backwards sounds to some people like "Turn me on, dead man. Turn me on, dead man" (though this is most likely to someone who already at least half-believes the "Paul is dead" myth; to others, perhaps the majority, it sounds more like "turn me o-" and some indistinct mumbling). Later, industrial artist Marilyn Manson covered it on his "Get Your Gunn" EP, and he called it "Revelation 9". It included Manson's backwards voice and snippets of Charles Manson talking.

Alternate Mix
There is also an alternate mix of this song called "Revolution 9 alternate mix". There are extra spoken vocals. There are also no football chants after Yoko Ono talks. Instead, it ends with an echoed "Take this brother, may it serve you well". This version is 8:03 instead of being 8:22 like the regular version.
