There's a backstory to this. In 1971, ATV (who owned Northern Songs and Paul's songwriting contract) sued Paul for co-crediting Linda, claiming Paul was trying to deprive ATV from royalties due them (which was true). In settlement of the lawsuit, Paul agreed to produce and star in a British TV special for ATV's television network. But, for spite, Paul decided to make this a schmaltzy, put-on goofy TV special. But he did include the first performance of "My Love'...much later in the show!
How fitting, given that McCartney was the first androgynous pop star.
Paul's hero is Fred Astaire, so this is entirely appropriate. He's just having some fun. Sure it's dorky, but McCartney had never worried about being 'cool' like Mr. Lennon has.
@marvy1118 well that's not true, it was often said paul always cared the most about the image. it's just that at this point he could poop in public and it would be considered cool
I casually found this video, and I saw it because it said "Paul McCartney", but when it reached 40 seconds, I yelled "What th fck????!!" Then I just couldn't stop laughing xD Great video!
'not such a bad boy' is THE most impossible song to download....just because it has the words bad boy,,,the program just assumes I want something to do with porn..
BTW__I cannnot spent about 5 seconds of this clip without smilling! its so great!
heterosexuality was never an option

This was a great show with all the music he performed but man what was he thinking when he did this. Possibly the forerunner to Broad Street

This has to be the result of smoking too much weed.

Or, maybe Paul just likes this type of music. He writes in this style occasionally: "When I'm 64", "Honey Pie", "You gave me the answer", etc.
