Helter Skelter
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn
and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do you don't you want me to love you
I'm coming down fast but I'm miles above you
Tell me tell me come on tell me the answer
and you may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Go helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu, hu
I will you won't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Look out
Helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu, hu
Look out cause here she comes

When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide
Where I stop and turn
and I go for a ride
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Well will you won't you want me to make you
I'm coming down fast but don't let me break you
Tell me tell me tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

Look out
Helter skelter
helter skelter
helter skelter
Yeah, hu,

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:31, 1:43
Squeaks
0:50
Bottle rattles for about two seconds.
1:35-1:45
John singing "Ri-i-ight" like on Rev 1/Rev 9 - faint in Left
2:29
Paul sings "Yes she is, coming down fast" and then (closer to the mike) "Can you hear me speaking? Whoooo"
2:36-2:46
Assorted "Yeah Yeah"'s and "Look out's"
2:49-3:09
Paul sings "Can you hear that silly bugger...Neeee..." then says "Come here son, I saw you do that you little bugger... Get yer bloody hands on your head, c'mon". Hard to hear, again OOPS helps to remove the loud guitar part that masks this.
The "blistery shout" seems to be prompted, again it could be printthrough as you hear "hahaha <I've got> I'VE GOT BLISTERS ...". The shout itself is from Ringo, who played until his hands were blistered in the 27 minute take that this is condensed from. As to the prompting voice? Who knows! ..."
Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
