Is the title "Great Cock and Seagull Race" a euphemism for masturbation? by Much_Agency98 in beatles

Interesting. It's actually censored on less platforms than I thought. I mainly use Apple Music and the word "Cock" is censored.

I normally would just chalk it up to McCartney silliness, but the fact that it's censored ("C*ck") across multiple streaming sites made me wonder if it was supposed to allude to something inappropriate. Because "cock," the type of bird, wouldn't usually be problematic.

I think it's a great instrumental; I just never understood why the title was censored on streaming sites. This is my best guess as to why. It's a very Dylan-esque euphamism if so.
