These are the examples from that page that I think are legit, deleting both things that aren\\\'t true and things where they obviously didn\\\'t care about the radar and spoke overtly, like \\\"Why Don\\\'t We Do It In The Road?\\\":

* \\\"Penny Lane\\\" contains sexual slang (\\\'fish and finger pie\\\' = fingering) a lot of people missed, and \\\"Drive My Car\\\" is veritable wall-to-wall DoubleEntendre.
** [[ADateWithRosiePalms He likes to keep his fire engine clean/it\\\'s a clean machine...]]
* Right after the line \\\"Remember to let her under your skin\\\" at about 2:56 of \\\"Hey Jude,\\\" John shouts what appears to be \\\"OH!\\\" What he really says is \\\"[--Got the wrong--] \\\'\\\'\\\'CHORD\\\'\\\'\\\'!\\\" This is immediately followed by a clearly audible \\\"[[PrecisionFStrike Fucking hell.]]\\\" To repeat: \\\'\\\'you can clearly hear John Lennon say \\\"Fucking hell\\\" during the only version of The Beatles\\\' most popular single.\\\'\\\' Hearing the F-word uncensored in a single in 2010 is rare. [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome The Beatles pulled this off in 1968]].
* At numerous times during \\\"She Loves You,\\\" the boys are actually singing, \\\"She\\\'d love to.\\\" Listen closely to the middle of the choruses: \\\"She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah./\\\'\\\'\\\'She\\\'d love to\\\'\\\'\\\', yeah, yeah, yeah.\\\"
** This in-joke is revisited at the end of \\\"All You Need is Love,\\\" where the lyric is clearly \\\"She loves you, yeah yeah yeah!/She\\\'d love to, yeah yeah yeah!\\\"
* Many songs are said to be about drugs: \\\"Got To Get You Into My Life\\\", \\\"Happiness is a Warm Gun\\\" (\\\"I need a fix...\\\"). [=McCartney=] has claimed that, after \\\"I Want To Hold Your Hand,\\\" anything that looked like a drug reference probably was. The exception is, ironically enough, \\\"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds\\\", which is a very long, but (except for the double entendre in \\\"grows so incredibly high\\\") totally non-drug-related, story.
** \\\"Dr. Robert\\\" was about a real life acquaintance who was a doctor in both senses of the word at once.
* At the end of \\\"Norwegian Wood\\\", \\\"So, I lit a fire/Isn\\\'t it good, Norwegian wood\\\", is a reference to the singer burning the girl\\\'s house down.
* The word, \\\"Tit\\\" sung as a refrain of \\\"Girl\\\".
* \\\"All Together Now.\\\" Quite possibly the only children\\\'s song that talks about sex... but not explicitly.
---> One, two, three, four\\\\\\\\
Can I have a little more?\\\\\\\\
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, I love you.\\\\\\\\
A, B, C, D\\\\\\\\
Can I bring my friend to tea?\\\\\\\\
E, F, G, H, I, J, I love you.\\\\\\\\
....\\\\\\\\
Black, white, green, red\\\\\\\\
Can I take my friend to bed?\\\\\\\\
Pink, brown, yellow, orange and blue, I love you.
* \\\"Don\\\'t Let Me Down.\\\" Real subtle.
-->And for the first time that she really done me\\\\\\\\
Ooh she done me\\\\\\\\
She done me good\\\\\\\\
I guess nobody ever really done me\\\\\\\\
Oh she done me\\\\\\\\
She done me good
* Penis jokes in \\\"With a Little Help From My Friends:\\\"
-->What do you see when you turn out the light?
-->I can\\\'t tell you but I know it\\\'s mine.
