At the beginning of the recording Lennon says, "'I Dig a Pygmy', by and the Deaf Aids... Phase One, in which Doris gets her oats!" The joke was mixed in by Phil Spector for the "Let It Be" album and also appeared in the "Let It Be" film, both released in 1970. "The deaf aids" – the British term for hearing aids – was also the nickname given to the Beatles' Vox amplifiers.
