First of all anybody referring to Revolution 9 as a 'song' is totally missing the point. It was never even intended to be seen as music in the traditional sense. Lennon wanted to create the sound of total chaos to represent what a real total revolution would be like. He was heavily influenced by avante garde 'composers' such as Stockhausen - actually it was McCartney who turned him on to this kind of thing. The seeds of Revolution 9 can be heard on Tomorrow Never Knows from the Revolver album, which was the first time The Beatles had experimented with strange sounds produced from tape loops.
I feel that Revolution 9 should be regarded as an aural painting rather than a piece of music. It is analogous to an abstract painting compared with a traditional landscape or portrait.

"Revolution 9" played an important part in the infamous "Paul is dead" controversy. Most notably, the repeated "number nine" played backwards can be heard as "Turn me on, dead man." If one listens carefully, the "babble," many believe, includes other hints left by the band about Paul's alleged death, including "My wings are broken" and "Get me out!" As the "Paul is dead" rumours were quickly debunked, these "clues" are creative misinterpretations of "Revolution 9" and are an interesting footnote to the Beatles' history.

A bathroom break. ha ha ha
On the White Album, that is the only song that I just cannot listen to. I'm a huge Beatles fan, but other than adding to the "Paul is Dead" theory, it doesn't do much for me.

It was a result of Yoko's growing influence on John. After he met her, he began producing more experimental music. Producer George Martin said in an interview that he tried to keep the song off the album but was overruled.

It's just John having fun with a tape recorder, nothing more, nothing less.

It is what happens when talented people take LSD and look for deeper meaning.
