LOVE the shot of Paul at 3:34!

[aerosmithofficial3]

@LennonMeringuePie I heard that Dustin Hoffman told Paul that he couldn't write a story, and Paul said give me anything to write a song about. Dustin gave him a magazine that had Picassos Last Words and a story about his death I just did a project on Picasso and his art... and I got an A and I included this story!!

[LeakyMustang]

@aerosmithofficial3 Yes, this is recalled in an interview with Hoffman, which can be heard on the Band on the Run 25th anniversary bonus CD. (A must-have for serious McCartney fans)

[aerosmithofficial3]

0:43 LOOK A CHICKEN BEHIND PAUL!!

Summer of 1975, My friend and I drove up the coast from Southern California to Northern California - Big Sur, Monterey, San Francisco - in her VW van, all the while listening to this tape and taking bong hits. We were 18 and the world was ours .

[MichalFokt]

LOL 1:00 he looks like a priest :-D

[mcc05900]

If I could have a 30 minute conversation with anyone it would be this man right here..

[benefitofmrkite2]

Is just...amazing

[shakermaker508]

@humbarcam

Yeah I see the white album comparison.

I find this song quite moving because it's like Picasso on his bed, in his near death state, hallucinating and having flashbacks of his past. Like that weird nonsensical dream you get when you have a really high temperature.

Maybe I'm talking bollocks. I'll shut up now.

[AyashaYumi]

@shakermaker508

Interesting interpretation of it.

[Gasten400]

While having dinner with Paul McCartney, Dustin Hoffman told the story of the death of Pablo Picasso and his famous last words, "Drink to me, drink to my health. You know I can't drink anymore." Paul had a guitar with him and immediately played an impromptu chord progression while singing the quote. Thus, "Picasso's Last Words", one of the highlights of the "Band On The Run" album, was made.

[lilycomic]

@Gasten400 -- true story? Great story!

[aerosmithofficial3]

@Gasten400 this isnt the story i heard

[Gasten400]

@aerosmithofficial3 read it on imdb, looks like a good source to me

[DantesTear]

2:00 i have that guitar! :D

[star0bright0shine]

awww that one person sneezed and missed the like button :(

[MrVenerus]

'It really souds like Beatles; it reminds me on "You know my name, look at the number"

[humbarcam]

@MrVenerus it sounds to me like pieces of the White Album or a kind of a relaxing Abbey Road medley.

[MrVenerus]

'It really souds like Beatles!

[MsTop21]

песня хороша......а сам

[edtato53]

cuantos bajistas tan buenos compositores han habido.

[PhantomKitty957]

I love how this song contains parts of other songs on this album.

[Glarium1]

love this song!

[MegaHegira]

If it wasn't for Dustin Hoffman, this song would have never been written :) He inspired paul to write this cool song

[xxalienslayerxx]

nice editng,archive photos-did I see paul with the wilburys?

[63beatlelove]

the part at 1:40 reminds me of the songs in the movie "Up" :)

[InlovewithNile]

Absolutely love this song!

Might I also mention that Paul is absolutely gorgeous!

[4FabBEATLES]

Denny Laine is singing it by the way - Paul did write it when he saw an article about Picasso and his supposed last words in a magazine

[kaf527]

Paul is always the best. I saw him at Ringo's 70th and he is amazing!!!

[ZZJoCa]

He really was the good looking one. Great montage of Paul, great song, great album!

[greenhalos725]

Paul is so awesome that he caught stars in one hand and put it on his guitar at 0:14. Awesome song BTW.

[ZZJoCa]

@greenhalos725 Almost missed this comment. Clever observation and nice imagery.

[yorkie6687]

Just enjoy the fucking record for fucks sake!!!!

[00McCartney]

Amazing lyrics. Thank you!

[Uhura1969]

Super , from 1:57 min you can hear the Korg Minipops 7 Rhythm Machine.

Beautyfull !! Jean Michel Jarre used this unit too in 1976 during recording his Oxygene album.

This is an excellent Mc Cartney song , I love it !!!! ++++++

[MyFairyKingRMT]

Another master stroke! :)

[Spartacusten1]

Dustin Hoffman did say in an interview that he was with Paul when he composed this at Hoffman's piano in his house.

[brzville]

In 1973 (Year Picaso Died)at cannes film festival, (hoffman had just done a film Pappilon) Paul Mcartney was there for the Soundtrack on Live and Let die, And dustin Betted Paul that he could"nt make a song of Picaso last words (Drink to Me Drink to my Health)

[mattsabby]

I have always heard this about the song's creation: On a dare by Dustin Hoffman for Paul to write a song from one line (Picasso's alleged dying words, "Drink to Me, Drink to My Health") Paul did, and the song was born. If I remember correctly, Dustin was in Lagos, Nigeria filming Papillon while Wings was there recording. Yours sound good too, mmmm, now I wonder which is true. Time for me to start surfing. Great song regardless.

[thelmasss]

I heard Paul once said in an interview (one of gazillions xD)

that Dustin Hoffman encouraged him to write this out of a piece of magazine at his house :D

[DodgeMan360]

@thelmasss This was on studio Q the other night on the radio

[rmyutuc10]

@wlwak, fully agree with you, indeed you're such a lucky man...

[duckman531]

Sounds like you have something to tell your grandchildren someday!

[normansboy]

Paul IS THE man. I heard him do this song live back in the day.

[esmeeesmee123]

i think the beatles will be known and remembered for all they're amazing music for hundreds of years, just like beathoven and mozart.

I love the Wings! :)

[trantotash]

paul is the best

[lossonsful]

@trantotash shut up you fucking bitch, the best is pol macartny
