Sounds like a mock German accent but I don't think it's German.

"I need the sun by gmmph". It sounds to me like John is stifling the last word, as one might if a performance is about to start, or if Paul had "shooshed" him with a hand gesture. John is speaking in his "E.L.Wisty" kind of voice.

So we still don’t really know for definite then!

I don’t think it’s 2 different voices though, sounds like the same throughout to me.

I bought all his books and I don’t remember reading it in any of those. If it is German, what does it translate to then?

How can anybody hear "the sun" in what John says? :roll:

He clearly says something like "I need a shook (shock) by..."

Definitely "shun" = sun

Yes, that's what I hear also, he pronounced sun as shun to sound German
