Anybody know what that strange song in the beginning of the song, and throughout the song?

according to yahho answers, it's either a vibraslap or more likely one of the members saying "shuk" into a microphone with some echo. Joeyramoney 22:27, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Added how marilyn manson covered the song..Don't believe me? Try Dling the song..type in "Come together, marilyn manson" ON limewire or something.

Song information box now seems to be there. The list of cover versions is full of opinion and imprecise language, and needs tidying up. For example, the Williams/McFerrin version might be distinctive, or unusual: it is meaningless to describe it as unusual; who was inducted into the Hall of fame in 1989 and what relevance did this recording have to that act; and what on earth does "very grunge" mean?

[edit] other songs called "Come Together"

i know the Beatles are, well, the BEATLES, but....the MC5 have a song called "Come Together" released on their live (and fucking awesome) album Kick out the Jams. i think some sort of disambig link or foward at the beginning of the article should be placed. also keep in mind the MC5's version was recorded on Oct 30th, 1968, which i believe predates this album.

[edit] Misheard line...Not!

"At the end of the second verse, the line "Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease," is apparently 'Hold you in his arms, yeah you can feel his disease,' and is quoted like the first nearly everywhere, including on 1967-1970 (the "Blue Album"), but the discussion remains unsettled as it can also perfectly heard like the first one. Lennon never did have a problem with making nosensical lyrics and it must also be noted that the Blue Album Compilation is an official Beatles-album."

The line is "Hold you in his armchair" not "Hold you in his arms yeah" as someone has wrongfully posted. I am absolutely positive that what everyone thinks the line is indeed what it is, because using high end computer speakers and the CD, Lennon sounds like he is saying, "hold you in his om-cheer". If anything, people may be mistaken about the first syllable, but anyone who hears an "s" sound and a "y" sound on that song needs their hearing checked. By the way this is between 1:45 and 1:50 on the song if anyone wants a quick reference to where the line is.

In regards to this I am deleting the above quoted paragraph.

Also, "Come Together" is one of the top 20 Beatles songs ever made.It is an awesome song. Maybe it is derivative of R&B, but it is R&B derived for gods.

[edit] Meaning

I think this song is about each the beatles. Each stanza is about a different beatle. Think about it, maybe do a little research if you want. Just my two cents.
