London – Spektakuläre Erkenntnisse sind das Ergebnis einer wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung der Texte alter Beatles-Songs an der renommierten Oxford University: So dürfte insbesondere John Lennon das Phänomen Stefan Petzner bereits vor über dreißig Jahren voraus geahnt haben. In einem wenig beachteten Song besingen die Beatles einfühlsam einen Narren am Hügel. Die Übereinstimmung der Details verblüfft. Einzig Petzners Vorliebe für Sonnestudios blieb dem Beatles-Mastermind offensichtlich verborgen („Head in a Cloud”, Anm. d. Red.). Hier der visionäre Text im englischen Original:

Day after day,
Alone on a hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he’s just a fool,
And he never gives an answer,

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.

Well on the way,
Head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hear him,
or the sound he appears to make,
and he never seems to notice,

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.

And nobody seems to like him,
they can tell what he wants to do,
and he never shows his feelings,

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.

Ooh, ooh,
Round and round and round.

And he never listens to them,
He knows that they’re the fools
They don’t like him,

The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning ’round.

Ooh,
Round and round and round
