I had a feeling The Bee Gees would comment on Paul's situation and I found backmasked references to him in The Bee Gees song, I Started A Joke, recorded on June 25, 1968 for their Idea album.
The forward lyrics suggest that the Paul-Is-Dead rumor was a joke but that Paul did die sometime between the beginning of the "joke" and the recording of the song--a variation on some of the theories. The lyrics say Paul "fell out of bed, hurting his head." I'm staying with the theory that Paul suffered some sort of accident, but survived it.
The backmasked lyrics say:
0:07-0:26 Paul, he moptop
0:44-0:47 Given up [his?] quest
1:15-1:17 He moptop
1:36-1:38 Given up [his?] quest
2:06-2:08 He moptop
2:32-2:33 He moptop

- For original Beatles fans, 1966 was a strange year. The "Butcher" cover and John's "more popular than Jesus" comment signaled that something was wrong with The Beatles. By 1967, we heard a different voice than Paul's on Penny Lane and we saw a different face in photos. Most of us abandoned Beatle fandom. In 1969, the "Paul is Dead" clues surfaced and were so strong and consistent, that many people wondered if that was the answer to the puzzling changes in Paul's voice and looks. People have been looking into that possibility from 1969-on but have not been able to document what happened to Paul. My generation deserves to know the truths about the group that we loved and made famous. So the search is on . . .
