Those guys can rub their own poles all they like but the truth is that Revolution #9 wasn't even recorded by any Beatle.

It was slipped onto the album during the mastering process by the CIA as a trigger switch for Charles Manson, Susan Atkins and Tex Watson as part of the MKUltra sub-project Helter Skelter.

When The Beatles found out it existed they were told it was accidental and John got a bit angry but then Paul started flapping his stupid head and said "well guys, I think it's quite cool actually" and because Paul (or Faul as he was by this time) was prone to violent outbursts when he didn't get his own way, the Beatles granted release of the album complete with the anomalous track.

The irony is that the same process was used as a trigger for Mark Chapman, when a song was sneaked onto the eponymous Huey Lewis and The News album.

PROVE ME WRONG DAMMIT!
