It wouldn't surprise me if Lennon was trying to get a better sound by lying on his back to sing. He was notorious for shredding his voice by singing songs out of his range and by being a perfectionist. He hated his voice because he thought it didn't sound full enough; listen closely to songs where he sang and you can hear that they used two tracks for his voice to add fullness. Lying on one's back provides more relaxation of the diaphragm and thus produces a better sound. If I'm not mistaken, Povarotti recorded an entire album on his back.
I had no clue. Do you know which Pavarotti it was?
Actually I screwed up; it wasn't Pavarotti; it was Boccelli. I don't know the name of the record.
