Great song!! Silly comments on John x Paul, seriously!!! Lennon died more than 30 years ago and still makes the two top comments on a Paul video wich doesn't even relate to him... Talk about being a legend!!!
@voabarros he is a legend for sure but the top comments in youtube videos aren't really to be used as any sort of indicator. Usually the top comments are about something retarded.
@ThePetrohaulic I'd say lennon and mccartney we're equally as talented and innovative. Though I do like lennons solo stuff better than mccartneys. paul did a lot of cheesy bullshit in his solo career. he also wrote the ONLY beatles song I dislike, "The long and winding road" which, after hearing that that was their last hit, I'm kinda of happy they broke up at that time
@ramon19141 Bullsh*t! Macca had as much talent as Lennon. You need to read "Here, There and everywhere" to REALLy appreciate his genius and contributions to the Beatles and beyond. Lennon was killed at 40...that's the only difference.
What was McCartney saying inside the album/cd sleeve of McCartney II dressing up like a japanese policeman mushtace and all and slanted eyes probably the ones that arested him in japan in early 1980 for carrying pot in customs and another pic of him wearing round glasses in what appears to be mocking john lennon....and looking threw a bead necklace,in my opinion, calling them both assh@#!%$#es...does anyone know what he was tryng to say....check it out...
I heard in a documentary that Paul McCartney was told by a leprechaun that he would be famous and the whole Beatles band too, Something i heard on a paranormal show :)
@murdlok Not quite. When asked how they came up with the name Beatles, John Lennon made up a story about a little man on a flaming pie, who told them that from that day forth, they would be called Beetles with an "a". :)
@bombranger OMG the clues are all over the place. For one thing, he's the ONLY one on the cover of Abbey Road with no shoes. What do you want, a headline in the New York Times?
@mackler wtf it does not matter if there are no shoes! as you can see from the cover, it was a sunny warm day and if you ever have worn a suit on a sunny day it gets really hot and even taking shoes of would help a lot. what paul said, he was wearing flip-flops or sandals or what ever and took them away because it would not look good on the cover.
and how did they found a straight clone from paul: same looking, left handed, musical genious and sound exactly the same
@bombranger OMG I can't believe you fell for that "hot day" story. If it's so hot, why are they all wearing suits? Wouldn't you take your jacket off before your shoes? And do you really think a professional entertainer would wear sandals to a photo shoot?! No, that picture was planned, probably before he was offed. And yes he died in a car. No it wasn't an accident. Your "hot day" story was debunked decades ago, and recent computer facial analysis has proved the truth to a scientific certainty.
@mackler wheres pauls body? and could you still explain me that how did they get a perfect copy of paul! even their teeth look the same! cloning hasnt been invented yet
@bombranger Where's Jimmy Hoffa's body? Where's Osama's body? You're really grasping at straws. Anyway, like I already said, modern facial analysis has been done on pictures of the two Pauls, and they are NOT the same. The ears are different, and the facial structure is different. The fake teeth are one of the few things they got right. Sure, a casual observer wouldn't notice, but these days computers can spot these things. This has been suspected for decades, but now the truth is irrefutable.
@mackler there has not been a proven computer analysis. There have been ones that showed that they were the same but not actual ones that have said they were different people. Paul Mccartney is alive.
@mackler Paul McCartney gave finger prints in 1989 following a drugs charge - they match identically to the fingerprints he gave when arrested (and released without charge) following an assault in Hamburg March 1962 also involving Grace Maller and Bern (second name unintelligable from the charge paper). Grace Maller went on to live with Paul McCartney and Linda periodically from 1962 till around the ,late 70s at their farm in Scotland.
@mackler The Beatles put "clues" all over their albums to get a reaction out of the public, while at the same time making the best music in the world. They took it as a joke and thought it was very funny when dumbasses would get excited when finding "clues". John Lennon even SAID they thought it was hilarious.
@mackler That rumor can't be true. If Paul McCartney had actually died, I doubt the so called imperssonater would've bothered keeping up his faux identity after the Beatles broke up, and he wouldn't have argued so much with the other Beatles.
Because the new Paul was chosen after a massive talent search. They weren't going to kill the old one originally, but he refused to go along with the plan, so they had no choice.
@miki4088pen sorry about that by' for the rude comment but it was all just lies like a hoax ppl had going around I own all Beatles records right from the first one and their was only one Paul not true silly ppl starting up stuff I think the bands do things like this just for publicity to make them more poplar to make money well sorry I was rude to u
Paul's voice here resembles John's timbre. In any case, Paul has always been more melodic. Also some effects in the piece resemble 67-68 Beatles. Great stuff Paul.
I've a lot of Macca's LPs but not this one! I saw it today on a local marketplace and i thought; Yeah babe, your mine now! It's a heavy rotation already ;-)
This is the song John heard in a Car and sent him "Crackers" He couldn't get it out of head. This led him out of retirement and to the woodshed where he crafted "Double Fantasy"
Love this! It positively bounces. I know it's 1980 because I lived in St Andrews then and the song always reminds me of swimming on the West Sands (boy was it cold).
I always thought this song was a piece of junk. Lennon loved it! According to sources John Lennon used to say 'As Long as Paul keeps putting out crap, I don't feel the need to do anything' but when he heard this one he said 'I need to get to work again.' I always thought it was silly, trite and... I don't know, bad I guess.
