The amazing Beatles had a big hit with great song “Girl.”
The lyrics entrance us, to the point we’re not sure what is being sung in the backgroud over key set of lyrics. These lyrics, which are not in dispute, are:
“She’s the kind of girl who puts you down when friends are there
You feel a fool
When you say she’s looking good, she acts as if it’s understood
She’s cool, ooh, ooh”
Now here comes the exciting part. In the background, during these lyrics, we hear Beatles singing “ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti ti”
Or do we?
It sure seems like the background sounds could be “tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit tit.”
Oh my!
I checked multiple sources for this song’s lyrics. None of them say anything about the background syllables.
What do you hear, “ti ti ti” or “tit tit tit?”
