Back in 1968-69, when everyone was making a fuss about Paul's rumored death, one of the rumors stemmed from the phrase at the very end of Strawberry Fields Forever, on the Magical Mystery Tour album. The phrase sounded like "I buried Paul."
straw16d0berry fields forever - I buried paul
In fact, according to John a little while later, he was really saying "Cranberry sauce." When John divulged this information, the rumor was killed and the gossip came to an end soon after.

Your statement is correct.I want give the explanationfurtherhistorically.
In 1968 after the huge success of Sgt Pepper albuman article from New York magazinelow budget artsy began to explore the album that Paul McCartney was DEAD.the Beatles were informed of it and various radio DJ of New York agree with the article or picking up the same type of cluesdecided on White Album, a Paul McCartney look a like contest and the winner was William Campbell the photo is inside on the posterPhoto of William Campbell is really Paul McCartney a high school photo of him, he had to wear glasses temporary. Abbey Road album the four walking on the street and their actions made fans concern where is Paul McCartney?John Lennon was busy with bed in with Yoko, Ringo Starr was in a movie, George Harrison had release a solo album but where was Paul McCartney, he discovered Mary Hopkins and had written Goodbye for her to sing.fans began to demand where is Paul? Life Magazine and NBC News anchorman Tom Brinkling had discovered Paul McCartney was officially alive and still with us, living in Scotland on his ranch taking care of sheep and lambs. Rumors spread about Paul's lip, Paul McCartney had to have plastic surgery when he was in mini motorcycle accident.His teeth had to be fixedmaybe even professionally replace, caps.This was not public known if you watch the video Rain, you see his tooth appears to be loose and upper lip swollen from the accident..he grew a mustache to cover the lip.1969 while making Let It Be, he grew a full beard and hairso the camera would not notice his scare of his lipToday no can rarely see it unless the camera has full close up on Sir Paul McCartney.

And all that too!

Who also happens to be the greatest and most committed actor that ever lived, living the next fifty years of his life pretending to be another man. Even continuing a relationship with Jane Asher. What a guy.

It needs to be pointed out that the 'hoax' had nothing to do with the Beatles. A university student in the US called up his local radio station and informed the DJ of some strange things they'd noticed (while they'd been sitting around idle and taking too many drugs) about some of the Beatles albums and songs. It blew up suddenly during October 1969 and turned into a fairly widespread event. But it's total garbage. How anyone can believe this tripe is beyond me. Let's just look at it logically for a second: Paul is one of the greatest musical minds in history, yeah? And so he dies and is replaced with not only an uncanny lookalike, but another of the greatest musical minds in history? It's so stupid that it makes me just want to weep for humanity.

The whole "PID" is a huge hoax. Paul did not die in 1966, he just had an accident with minor consequences, take a look here:

Some people are only happy if they have a half baked "conspiracy" in front of them.

Either case, I used to love them, but the whole Britpop scene and especially that god awful band Oasis kind of ruined them for me.
By "them", Ceephax, may I assume you're referring to the Beatles? If so, I don't understand how that works. To me, it makes about as much sense as saying, "I used to love Shakespeare but that whole Victorian/Edwardian theatrical scene and especially that god-awful Shaw ruined him for me", or "I used to love Rodgers and Hammerstein but that whole later American musical scene and especially that god-awful Sondheim ruined them for me."
Can you please explain how Oasis ruined the Beatles for you?
The best things in history are accomplished by people who get tired of being shoved around.

I don't know. If it were true, I don't think jealousy would be enough for John to reveal the past. Revealing any hidden truth of the Beatles wouldn't only affect Paul's career but the rest of the Beatles (and their history). The same situation can be applied to a member and his/her respected organization.
The history of their future could have changed, if this was found to be true. They would ALL be seen as liars.
Yeah, I do agree on that one. I really don't know what to think about this 'conspiracy', it's not so much about the looks I focus on (that's hogwash to me, they look identical), but the messages in their music (backwards and forwards), and the clues in their artwork, especially Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Even when you listen to Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day in the Life, Glass Onion, Come Together and especially I'm So Tired (backwards at the end- Paul is a dead man, miss him, miss him) and take note of the lyrics, what's the deal there?
Not to mention when it was initially broadcast on the news.
There's so many things about this that beg so many questions. It could well have been a hoax for publicity, but also a MAJOR career killer if people did catch on (you never know what the reaction might have been), it could be all the drugs, but the evidence in their artwork and lyrics, and some back masking, is all too evident and bizarre.
Either case, I used to love them, but the whole Britpop scene and especially that god awful band
Oasis
kind of ruined them for me.

There is no way he would have kept quiet about that not being the real Paul. It just wouldn't be in his nature.

For this reason - I don't see how we can argue, by looking at other situations such as jealousy amongst band members. Sometimes theories, whether true or not, are JUST interesting to read.

I get a kick at how serious some people take this and actually believe it. There are websites with so much stuff on them trying to prove that Paul had actually died. But the one thing that proves he didn't die, is John.
There was a time after they broke up that John was not happy with Paul. He was angry at him personally and jealous of Paul's success as a solo artist. There is no way he would have kept quiet about that not being the real Paul. It just wouldn't be in his nature.

Thank you, tobian85, for the correction. I still love their songs but not so much their title, I suppose.

I LOVE The Wings but I believe it's possible the Beatle was replaced. People will do anything these days for money money money.
Strange, if you love that band as you claim, that you don't seem to know that it was simply "Wings"no "the" was used. Also, I'd be interested in seeing back-up for the following claim:
In 1993, he was the first Beatle to be asked to receive a star but was under the weather.
If that were true, why on Earth would the ones in charge make him wait NINETEEN MORE YEARS before allowing him to "accept" a star?
Also, I just read an article last night on Yahoo News about Sir Paul's star. I posted the link in my topic on this MB titled "A Star for a StarFINALLY!", so I see no point in copying the link in this reply, but here's a snippet containing relevant dates:
McCartney's star was placed outside the Capitol Records building, alongside those of band members John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
The Beatles were given a star as a group in 1998, more than 25 years after they split up. Lennon and Harrison were given their individual stars several years after their deaths in 1980 and 2001 respectively, while Starr got his in 2010.
Hundreds of fans of the Fab Four gathered, clutching memorabilia, to see McCartney honored for his 50-year legacy in the music industry.
Please show me anywhere in this quoted section that says Sir Paul was "offered a star in 1993". And I am sure you will not find, if you take the trouble to click on the link I provided in my separate topic and
read the linked article
, any statement that even hints that he was offered a star back in 1993,
five years
before The Beatles as a group received theirs.
On the other hand, if you provide a link to a credible source (not just WikiPedia) that backs up your claim then we'll talk.
That doesn't mean, however, that I'll accept your "reasoning" for Paul's supposed death and his double's "noble" refusal of the star. If it turns out to be true that he was asked back in 1993, he could well have refused it by saying something like, "Not until after you give one to The Beatles as a group," which would have been entirely appropriate. True, John got his earlierbut he was
dead
. Paul might have feltvery understandablythat dying was a pretty hefty price to pay just to get that silly star.
I wonder if he'll ever be free from that !@#$% rumor/hoax. On the day he actually does shuffle off this mortal coil, maybe a bunch of people will protest that he's actually still aliveand dwellling in an ashram somewhere in India.

Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living and above all, those who live without love.

I LOVE The Wings but I believe it's possible the Beatle was replaced. People will do anything these days for money money money. #omnomnomnom lol
Another recent discovery:
I just read an article in the paper saying that Paul McCartney is finally accepting a star on the walk of fame. In 1993, he was the first Beatle to be asked to receive a star but was under the weather. Well, now all the members have received a star - Paul McCartney being the last.
..so was it just bad timing in '93 or was it out of respect for the other Beatles members? If I were a replacement, I would only see it fair that the other members received a star first.

I think the Beatles did it for a laugh. And because they were often accused of putting things into the background of their songs that that didn't really. So maybe they decided to start the Paul is Dead thing to amuse themselves and see if anyone would actually notice.
And it took until the time they were breaking up before someone did notice.

Pretty involved joke, I'd say.

I think this "hoax" was absolutely ridiculous. What was the point of it anyway? Could anybody explain?

It was not "self" but a hoax and quite a shallow one too.
Hello, Good Evening and Welcome!

i dont think that was a joke for their fans or something
but yeah i do think that paul is still alive:)

It's all a joke that the Beatles pulled on their fans. Paul is alive and well, and the same Paul today as in 1963. It was a self-hoax.

i this video (help)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6EqPOkVhjg&feature=related
0:18-0:21
his face is different,like he gain some weith
im not sure but i think that video is from 1965
and looks exactly the same in any photo after 1967 ,obvs with out the mustache.

But then here we go, the only thing that i dont get, is all the 'clues' songs,covers,etcetc.
has someone already asked him that? or to beatle?
or at the same time it could be that the songs says paul, and from that they took every little detail (date,accident,year,etc)and because of that they find something that says or sounds like 'PAUL' now it has to be real.
many songs has subliminal messages
is stupd to say.. isn strange that they stoped doing concerts,interwievs after the 66? HE IS DEAD
all started for a rumour then they took that year to make it fit ,you know?
sorry if you cant understand me, my first languaje is spanish.
