Paul McCartney - Favorite Songs He Wrote

[brianababe100]

God, Paul must've had a LOT of babies...

[HirXeBomb]

@nickjjismyhusband Spoken like a true brainwashed kid. If people still think this imposter is the real Paul, then your brain doesn't function right. This fake Paul didn't care less when John his best friend got murdered and just called it a drag on national TV. Paul never looked like the real Paul after nov. 1966, in pictures you can see his head was taller, fake mustache and beards needed to hide his surgeries on his lip, chin, ears etc. it's sad people still see the fake Paul as the real.

[nickjjismyhusband]

The whole 'Faul' thing is really stupid lol.

Anyways, Paul ALL of your songs are kick-ass....ILY MAN ♥

[Tattoomom1725]

how do you get these videos

[Korn1holio]

Paul needs John to act naturally. Otherwise he's too... dunno how you call it.. pretentious? artsy? overacting?

[beatlesgirl104]

My fav. song is Blackbird

[ginger8994]

I love you...

[10LX366]

Keep on clicking 9 to see something interesting :D

[onnie74]

he acted weird at the end like he had to think of his favorites for a person that wrote them or sang them he shouldve known

[smallpicture]

I liked "All My Loving" and "Another Girl".

[marie5477]

Maybe I'm Amazed, oh PAUL!! I agree so much with you on this one :)

[myrtlebox]

I loved this interview session. Go search "Paul McCartney tells a dirty joke"

Sir Paul telling that joke is perhaps my fondest clip of him. And that's coming from a Beatlemaniac of 40 years.

[will179ea]

he sounds like mr mckey in south park at the end !

[facebookcindi]

@will179ea MKAY.

[Ileana105]

I love his Baby I'm Amazed, Hey Jude and Let it Be. My personal favorites of his.

[matchbox555]

best song he wrote was wild honey pie

[lennonlover2015]

Hey Juuuuude :D

[iloveupaulmccartney]

i like Hey Juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!

[PaulMcCartney1fan]

Haha I loved it when he said Hey Juuuddee

[JPGRism]

if i'd met him, and asked if it was okay if i asked him a question, and he'd said "no, too much to do", i'd been referring to these vids.. HA HA

[SketchBoat]

hey joooote

[97sophia12]

SHAZAM!

[MyHairyBreasts]

Notice how all his favorite songs he wrote are post-1966, and he doesn't even mention Yesterday, because Faul didn't write that one. Haha. This one goes out to all the Paul is Dead / Faul McCartney believers

[guineapigcat]

@MyHairyBreasts He's saying that because some of the earlier song he wrote are supposed to be Lennon/McCartney songs, not just him even though most of the pre-66 songs were actually mostly by Paul. Faul is fake. There is no Faul. Its always been Paul. You can't pull off pretending to be someone else for that long. None of it is true. Paul is alive.

[soulseeker300]

@guineapigcat the pre-66 songs weren't mostly done by Paul. john wrote plenty,but they collaborated mostly :-)

[TheLeritax]

And What happens with "Maybe I'm Amazed"?

[lilikaberry96]

Songs are like babies.

It's impossible not to love this man.

[FancyLobotomist]

Making song babies.

[GretaZUU]

@redletter2008 why don't u like wild honey pie? It's a cool song!:P

[redletter2008]

@GretaZUU For me, it was a minor downturn in the quality of Paul's songs. It seemed to me to be (as John would say) a kind of "throwaway" song that Paul perhaps felt he could justify including on the White Album because John had insisted on the inclusion of Revolution 9. Otherwise, Paul's material is of VERY high quality and superior to much of what competitors at the time, and in the future, would produce. George's rejected Not Guilty is, again IMO, a better song than Wild Honey Pie.

[rwk1983]

@GretaZUU nah, he's right. its pretty wack

[hznfrst]

What, no "Yesterday"?

[redletter2008]

@hznfrst Or Here, There and Everywhere, which Paul has long cited as one of his favorite Beatles' songs (John cites it as well among his favorites). MY favorite of Paul's Beatles' songs: And I Love Her, You Won't See Me, Got To Get You Into My Life, Magical Mystery Tour, Mother Nature's Son, Blackbird, We Can Work It Out, I've Got A Feeling, Golden Slumbers, Oh Darling and Get Back. The ONLY of Paul's Beatle songs I do not like is Wild Honey Pie.

[hznfrst]

@redletter2008 Add "I Will" and "Michelle," even though he was disappointed with the latter.

[redletter2008]

@hznfrst Michelle is a great track. Paul and John were on a songwriting roll from '62-'69 (with, IMO, John stronger earlier and Paul in the later period). Rubber Soul is an amazing album and Paul showed Yesterday was no fluke with Michelle released just a few months later. The Beatles shame contemporary artists that release records every 3-5 years (of FAR inferior quality). They released 2 LPs a year, for 3 straight years (plus non-LP singles to boot!), including AHDN, Rubber Soul and Help!

[dwoac6595]

@iieatdapussyii not only how to play like him but know ALL the history from the early hamburg days

[Patii823]

Hermosas canciones!!

[sleestack808]

blackbird is the perfect song

[jcconsta]

Which one is the first he listed???

[CandyDate]

@jcconsta I'm Amazed

[jcconsta]

@CandyDate THANKS!!! mmm...mmm...and the last one??? sorry, but my "ear-english" is almost so bad like my english redaction..lol...in the other hand: The Beatles Rules!!!! =)

[CandyDate]

@jcconsta Lol it's fine. He said Here Today. And YES THEY DO <3

[jcconsta]

@CandyDate That's the last one??? I though there was another one after Here Today...anyway, so, we have: Maybe I'am amazed, Blackbird, Hey Juuuude, Here Today...I love all of them!!! And so many other to!! but Here Today makes my cry...u.u...I wanna cry rigth now...so I'm gonna listen it, Im holding back the tears no more, no no noooo....because there wasnt any reason let to keep it all inside...

[CandyDate]

@jcconsta Yeah that's all. And Here Today makes me cry too. I'm bout to cry just think in about it!! Let It Be also makes me cry

[jcconsta]

@CandyDate well, cry if you wanna, but not to long...I mean, not a long time...like Joaquin Sabina said: "las lágrimas para llorar cuando valga la pena"...or something like: let's keep tear to cry when it worthwhile" ;-)

[agustinasara]

I love how he says "Juuuuuuuuude"

[PMMJGRL14EV]

Yesterday i saw him.I cant even express how amazing it was.I can tell you it was/is VERY life changing and inspiring.The best day of my life!!,First ever concert at 13,Im VERY proud to say that!

[curvy71]

i have a lot of favorite songs by Paul McCartney

[LondonBombs1]

HERE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! There wasnt a dry eye in the house at the O2 when he played that in '09!!!!!!

[ccaarroolliinnee1000]

Maybe I'm amazed.... og God, this one is perfect

[MsNancydrew12]

'Hey Jude' and 'Here Today' LOVE THOSE SONGS!!  the beatles

[SuperBajack]

There are a *lot* of them

You bet there are Paully, you bet there are

[verilu97]

YAY! blackbird! LOVE it

[DoorMat444]

The most proliific songwriter in the world! There are too many excellent songs to choose from!

[allyouneedislove1030]

Hey Juuude :P. Aww, man, I can't even make fun of the way he said it. This dudes a genius. But I do really love Blackbird and Hey Jude, two of my favorite Beatle songs :)

[gradsssara]

me and my friend where having a sleep over and we were scared because we were so tired, it was like 4 in the morning. so when we went to the kitchen to get something to eat. we would shout blackbird lyrics to help us not be scared of nothing

[nobodady1]

Paul. What are your favorite songs written by you former bandmates? A more interesting interview Q IMO.

[BeatlesForever22]

Here today is an amazing song. I'm glad he mentioned it.

[tonkip]

How on earth can yesterday NOT even get a mention?come on paul you know it's the best song you ever wrote period!and it's the only song john ever use to go on about after the beatles split up because he also knew it was the best song the beatles ever wrote and in some way i think he wished he'd of wrote it himself?..:o)

[tonkip]

@tonkip Dont get me wrong folk's i love all the beatles but for me paul was always the more talented one..:o)

[whipchops]

Its a difficult question because every song this guy has written has been pure genius (especially in the beatles days)

[eng3d]

Pipe of Peace.

[akeel456]

I knew he'd say Hey Jude; not sure why, I just knew.

[perspect19]

That "okay" was well cute :D

[MrBuc128]

He lost me on Hey Jude .The most overrated song of all time.

[YouthLot]

@MrBuc128 agreed.

[baxtersave96]

@YouthLot Thank you.A bigger Beatles fan than me you will not find but I can't stand Hey Jude. I assume you too are a fan of McCartney's music .It amazes that anyone with knowledge of the Beatles catalog can pick Hey Jude as their favorite. I've got a feeling, Helter Skelter, Blackbird, Paperback writer.These are all McCartney Beatles tunes that are much better than Hey Jude

[YouthLot]

@baxtersave96 hey jude is just way too cheesy and similar to 'que sera sera'

[d347b2]

@onlyjoetee my point was that he's got a million songs (not literally of course)

[onlyjoetee]

Maybe im amazed,Hey Jude and Blackbird,were the EXACT 3 i was thinking,and thats what he said....

[cindyrella909]

LIving Legend!!

[d347b2]

"It's a very difficult question cos I'm a fucking Beatle, I've got about a million.".....is what he should've said.

[onlyjoetee]

@d347b2 No Sir,people never seem to understand,you CANNOT ask a songwriter that question,its EXACTLY like asking a mother,which is your favourite baby,and oh by the way,he's got more than £300million..xx

[BexInSeattle]

"Your songs are like your babies..."

couldn't have said it any better XD

[fallinloveplaythgame]

i love it when he says i like hey juuuude

[itsbridgetlogann]

I read somewhere that Here, there, and Everywhere was his favorite song that he had written.

[BALLYJUNKIE]

with a little luck

[softsummernights]

faul

[PlayMadness]

Well no shit. Everyone likes Hey Jude.

[Lubbylove89]

He says Maybe I'm Amazed is a nice song, like it's not epic! lol I love him.

[supraliz]

Here today is such an amazing and sweet song!!

[PoetisaMJ]

0:29 the way he says "hey Juuuude" xD

[lilmissgaga]

@PoetisaMJ

hey JUUUHDUUUHDE !

[rgmusic777]

Wow, it must be so cool to look back on some of the greatest songs ever, know you wrote it and say "yeah, i like that one"

[TheSammyLV]

lots of babys

[mitancobain]

maybe i'm amazed, here today the best!!

[LeTinamster]

Let It Be !!

[softsummernights]

faul

[DancingAtMidnight11]

Hey Juude. Damn Paul, I love you!

[russiantoughguy]

@BlackBird796 Im fifteen and ive loved him since I was a baby. Please stop posting your age. Its not impressive that we love the Beatles because of our age

[bandgeek551]

That's all foh now, mkay?

:D

SO CUTE!!!

[kaitlinan]

I LOVE here today :)

[TheBeatlesluvdaisy]

he has a lot of babies then hehe. he's awsome

[jimidee33]

My favorite post beatles songs are some he mentions; "Here Today" and "Maybe I'm Amazed". There are others.

[nillyvanilla3]

He's so cute! :)

[meanmachine210]

Abbey Road Medley Hey Jude Here Today Another day Yesterday

[rihannarox11]

[bbplayerav]

[rosypixar]

For no one

The Fool on the Hill

Here There and Everywhere

All my loving

Eleanor Rigby

[leibniz771]

An interview In Italy he said...Here there and everyhere! ?

[doglover52]

lol songs are like babies.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha

and i luv Hey Jude

[alexglauer]

Blackbird? Always found that one boring.

[bbplayerav]

@alexglauer

Probably because it was written in such a way that it would symbolize the Black generation. So, it sounds shallow but has deep meaning.

[XxKyokoSamaXx]

Paul is still adorable.

[TopShowsHere]

Song are like babies just yesterday I feed one milk :S

[ajpimp55]

my favorite is,let it be, and has to be one of his too.

[NewWaveManimal]

oh god, living in america has made him say questions as statements going up at the end of the sentence.

[theemmers15]

I little concerned about him comparing his children 2 songs.....

[QueenReigns1]

@theemmers15

You stupid cunt...

[sam0xin]

Yeah ! Paul always right ! STUPID question...disliked songs were never created...all songs were composed BY LOVE to music ! I dislike only ONE song ... it's Revolution 9...though it's interesting...& the album is THE MASTERPIECE !

[nickfromCO]

there's about 100 that he forgot to mention :)

[BrotherHoodUtd]

So amazing how he can just sit there and say "I wrote hey jude"... the greatest song of all time!

If i wrote hey jude i'd lose my shit! the beatles are the best!

[cranie4]

@BrotherHoodUtd Ah see but you wouldn't because YOU created it and would know where it all came from (mostly). I've always said the saddest thing was that there were 4 people in the world who DIDN'T have The Beatles like we had and enjoyed.

[GameJourney]

Funny how he never mentions Yesterday. That isn't Paul.

[jnb1231]

I love all your songs!!!!!!! The beatles r my faveorite band by far!!!!! Your awesone!!!!!!!! I love your accent!!!

[BeatlesFan7118]

i like all those songs too!!!!

GO PAUL!!!!

[happyface262]

i love all the songs he mentioned especially Maybe I'm Amazed and Here Today

[mrbobevans]

Paul is a guy with a lot of class. And he and George were best friends.

[caesarcerf]

he says modestly ... too bad paul is so damn crabby these days. he goes through periods ... perhaps he'll bounce out into a good un,' soon.

[libraryquiet]

My all time favorite Paul McCartney song...., "We can work it out" I know John came up with part of it but Paulie is the main singer, I consider it a McCartney song. And a great one at that!

[Ksimp9]

Fixing a hole

[ThaddeusRobe]

@Ksimp9 You're wrong! Oh well, I guess it really doesn't matter.

[Ksimp9]

@ThaddeusRobe where I belong Im right

[notrllyamoviejunkie]

I've watched nearly all of these short videos, and I can't help but giggle at how he slips back into that pose after he finishes answering.

[fidledoo]

@notrllyamoviejunkie I think these were part of an interactive website. That could be why he returns to that pose.

[TheSuperGamefreak]

i like hey jude and here today, but i also like let it be and yesterday

[cherrybomb2600]

Maybe I'm Amazed always makes me cry. even in public.

[windycitygal1000]

Go Paul!! I LOVE THIS GUY

[petewingnut]

The entire Band on the run album is a good place to start I think.

[beatleholic13]

I almost cried when he said "here today". It's a beautiful song!

[beatleholic13]

@tedm1975 same here

[meanwiddlekid]

I can't be the only one that notices that Paul's 50th or 100th best song are still better than anyone else's number one. That's what made the Beatles so far above all others. Not only did they write the best songs, they wrote 10 great songs for all other great rock and roll bands one great song and they did it in only 7 years.

[tedm1975]

My favorite songs by Paul McCartney songs are Here There and Everywhere,Jet,For No One,That Means a Lot,Things We Said Today,I'm Looking Through You,Let Me Roll It,Mrs.Vandebilt,Live And Let Die,Yesterday and many more.

[granny613]

I've Got a Feeling!

[wownouser]

Here are my favourites (not necessarily in order):

For no one

Till there was you (although not a Beatles song)

In my life (I prefer Bette Midler's version!)

Here there and everywhere

My Love

Get back

Of course there are so many more...

[thebeatles2341]

@wownouser those are great songs but nothing can compare in my opinion to the beatles version of in my life

[wownouser]

@thebeatles2341

You know, "In My Life" is the ONLY Beatles song where I don't prefer the Beatles version. Any other Beatles song I prefer their version by far. But in this case, I think Bette Midler's version gives the song a jazzy and cool air that's great.

Did you hear her version? if not, you can find it on Youtube. But look for the recording version, not the live ones...

[wownouser]

"My Love" is a Wings song I think... but Paul's !

[Kantaruo8]

ahahaha hes like a lovable grand-pa

[Elyonia679]

Paul was so cute when he was younger

[MissMademoiselleuh]

My favorits are:

Yesterday & Hey Jude!!! x

[garnerefc123]

my favorite song is maxwells silver hammer

[52mindthegap]

My favourite? Oh darling!!! Please believe me!!!!!!

[Shancus32796]

Oh isn't Paul adorible even at his age? Love how he explains his songs as his children.

[goawaywithmex]

"I like Hey Juuuuuuuude." *looks at the camera*

LOL <3

[blessiththechily]

Mother Natures Son.

[roflolomglmao]

the ones that connect to people are the best ones he wrote. i think he has more insoration when he writes ones about other people. thats why there so good.

[WingsOfFate9]

what does he says after saying "Here today the song i wrote about John" i don't understand that word he says.

[icl96]

@WingsOfFate9 he said: "there are a lot of them"

[JamesTKirkCobain]

I like Biker like an icon

[IncognitamaRibelle]

Forse Maybe I'm Amazed è la più bella canzone d'amore che Sir McCartney abbia mai scritto =)

[k0stil]

i love blackbird and hey jude

[himvpdmr]

MAYBE I'M AMAZED?!!! THAT'S MY FAVORITE!!! YEAH!!! I missed that in the concert last april 5 in Puerto Rico. But with that HUGE show he gave (one of the BEST experiences I ever had in my Life), well, I am not precisely complaining. LOVE YA, SIR PAUL... Take care, GOD bless...

[genevievehaag]

"Hey Juuuuuuuude" :)

[Guitar76er]

Did you ever wonder, really, who is the Man? Well your looking at his happy ass.

[DreamersGirl66]

I was waiting for him to say 'Here Today" it's really such a lovely song and I would be hurt/suprised if he didn't say that. After all, he did write it about John.

[BarryDennen12]

His favourites are basically my favourites. Onya Macca!

[forumchatter09]

Hey Charlie, you were saying? troll disputing obvious factual info

[forumchatter09]

For No One, I've just seen a Face, She's Leaving Home, Martha My Dear, Came in Through Bathroom Window, Michelle, I'm Looking Through You, Got to get you into my life, Her Majesty, I Will, Rocky Raccoon, Sgt Peppers

[121maddin]

Mister, please don`t no longer denie, tell the truth... however!

[TheSuperGamefreak]

when ya got a bunch of songs or anything to chose as a fav you cant just have 1 ya gotta have a lot of 'em

can anyone really tell me their one true favorite song, beatles or not

[Awesometiger55]

Personally, I don't like any of his songs...I LOVE them!! <3 <3 Love you paulie!!

[cbproducktions]

@aleksandra901

Me too :)

Blackbird is such a beautiful song

[observingworld]

I admire Paul's beatle work as much as anyone but IMO 95% of his stuff since the beatles has been singalongamacca. Fairly throwaway. Not very inspired. Still quite tuneful but somehow lacking that something that turns a ok song into a classic the whole world loves.

[animagus1]

I've always thought that the bass guitar in Mrs. Vanderbilt from Band on the Run is astonishingly good!!!!

[bricky59]

Nope. "Maybe.... " was a homage to Linda. One of the best love songs ever written.

[vegardertilbake1]

hey juuuuuudddde

[rufusteph]

I love you Paul

[bricky59]

"Maybe I'm Amazed??? Never heard that one. Must be good if he prefers that from 'Eleanor Rigby', 'The Long and Winding Road', 'Hello Goodbye' or 'Let it Be'."

Then, my friend... Look up the lyrics on this one and "Here today" on the net. You´ll be "amazed..." I´m also old enough for Beatles

[ScrubsTheOpera]

@bricky59 "Maybe I'm Amazed" was about Linda. I'm not suprised that he likes that one (I really like it too)!

[bricky59]

Hi Scrubs.

And why do you think I don´t know...?

I quoted something another wrote on page two or three, and ask him to look up the lyrics on the net.

STRONG lyrics, as is "Here today".

[ScrubsTheOpera]

@bricky59 Sorry, I just came back and saw an old comment. Well, you did say you never heard it before (look at your comment).
