What’s the name of the Beatles song where the music or lyrics are backwards?

I heard that there is a Beatles song like this…. What’s it called?

The final verse of "Rain" is intentionally backward.

"I got home from the studio and I was stoned out of my mind on marijuana and, as I usually do, I listened to what I’d recorded that day. Somehow I got it on backwards and I sat there transfixed with the ear-phones on, with a big hash joint. I ran in the next day and said, ‘I know what to do with it. I know… Listen to this!’ So I made them all play it backwards. The fade is me actually singing backwards – ‘Sharethsmnowthsmeaness’." -John. Lennon
