  • who is this twat fuck off to where you came from

  • @robismad Penn Jillette?

  • "Did Paul McCartney Change Beatles Lyrics??"

    Live & let Die's a Wings song, not a Beatles song ^_^

  • what is the name of the piano song playing in the background of this video?

  • Like this if you're tired of all the fucks who go "like this"

    Anyway I agree with Penn, I can't stand grammatical errors either. Although it's the sign of a truly great song when it can grammatically suck and still be extremely successful. Although most people don't care about grammar, and a few don't even care about the lyrics either.

  • Oh come off it!

    Who cares about changin' lyrics sometimes?

    Instead worry about poor camera work dude!

  • Penn, I'm not sure if I'm mishearing it or something, but I always heard the lyric as, "...but if this ever changing world in which WE'RE LIVIN'..."

    Could be wrong, but I'm at least absolutely sure that those don't count as Beatles lyrics... minor point.

  • wow Penn... saw you in person... great.... here? sucks

  • Paul's pyro ruined one of my shirts in Atlanta a few years ago as it was raining simultaneous to the explosions.

  • Man shut the fuck up, who give a shit

  • its a fucking top 40 song!!!!! its not philosophy.....fuck!!!!!!!!

    why are we talking about this!!!!!????

    we got wars......economy going shit......political shit..................and we talk about this!!?!

    WTF?!?!?

    the world HAS gone batshit crazy!

  • @zencat999 We're talking about it for a distraction from all the fucking horse shit going on in the world today. ENTERTAINMENT purposes. R_E_L_A_X!

  • BRING BACK BULLSHIT !!!!!!!!

  • @moonknight1985 BRING BACK PENN RADIO!

  • Hey Penn, the correct line is

    'IF THIS EVER-CHANGIN' WORLD IN WHICH WE'RE LIVIN' "

    i.e. "IF this ever-changing world IN which we are LIVING". Get it?

    So, the grammar is perfectly correct. I'm a language nerd. I heard that way back when te sng was new and figured out what he sang by listening closely.

    One time I heard Tom Leykis make the same BULLSHIT claim that you made.

    YOU'RE BOTH WRONG!!

    BULLSHIT!! :-)

  • @jdh501 THANK YOU!!!

    You saved me from typing the same thing. The grammar is correct and the song is great!

  • I always thought it was "If this ever changing world in which we're livin'..."

  • @LazyIrish829 You ARE correct.

  • Did penn just call us all >11 year olds?

  • ; Appreciating an artist doesn't make you a homosexual, please don't think with your pants.

  • @12Zwolf it's a run on people who see homosexual gestures in everything and are afraid of being called homosexual. You do know he's happily married and has the best named kids, right?

  • ; Yes, and living in the compound in Las Vegas, but I've noticed how people now say man-crush, and woman-crush instead of only appreciating the contributions of the artist. As I'm not an artist, I appreciate good art-work, and that appreciation isn't confused with erotic feelings.

  • Live and let die is not a Beatles song, so you need to change the title of this video first and then shut the fuck up.

  • McCartney, even at his age, is a genuine rocker. He kicks all kinds if ass.

    But Lennon's main complaint about Paul was his linguistic laziness. And he had a point -- not a complete point, fuck off, Paul wrote "Eleanor Rigby" and "Penny Lane."

    But Paul also wrote shit like "I go to places we used to go," which Lennon vetoed & Paul sold to Peter & Gordon. Paul could get lazy, yes he could. But he's almost 70 and he still rocks harder than you, pallie.

  • Did Penn Jillette change this episode title?

  • Like this if you check YouTube everyday for a new pennpoint

  • STOP TURNING BACK AND FORTH

  • Personally I hold a greater opinion of you than either of those two so you can talk all the shit you want sir, you won't hear a peep from me about it.

  • McCartney did this at Super Bowl Halftime

  • i sometimes read between the lines with Penn basically saying, " some of you out there have got to be mindnumbinly idiotic if a moron like me gets it and you don't"

  • It must not be fun being a grammar nazi.

  • Aren't we over analysing things here?

    I mean writing lyrics aren't easy, and singing them just the same every time is virtually impossible.

    Plus people need to have lyrics that are singable which is easier to make if you can bent the rules of grammar and such.

    In my book this seems like nit picking, just sayin'!!

  • whats with all the cam cuts.. so annoying

  • we need season 9!!!!!

  • Paul McCartney??? John Lenon??? Beatles??? Oh, the old farts from the 60's. ;) Come on people, the world has moved on since then.

  • @The64BitGeek People who think that more recent music has nothing to offer, are indeed fuckwits... as are people who think the same about older music.

  • @RT83 And why should I like music that was made before I was born? Old dudes and dudettes are still alive aren't they? A friend of my dads is stuck in the 60's. The way he talks, clothes, hair style, music. He is a sad sad character.

  • Ike wasn't a scientologist, he was a victim of scientology. the guy barely made it past "clear", and trying to get further is what killed him. he was trying to cleanse himself of "body thetans."

  • And the point of this video was ....?

    Bring back your usual awesomeness!

  • You used the music from Trine, the video game, for this video. No real opinion on it's usage, just an observation of your choice (which is cool) of the game's main theme for this video.

    ....so, .....I guess I can't really say 'no opinion', since I just called it cool.

    ...so, ....What the hell is my point?!?

  • @Cailwyn this is the thought train that goes into every penn point video.

  • Bullshit is gone? :(

  • These videos are always so good and always have such a specific subject.

  • I always thought it was "in this ever-changing world in which we're livin'

  • i think it's bullshit that bullshit is gone...

  • Penn Jillette's name will be far more recognised than Isaac Hayes in the future. Love your work Penn, taking a brave, active stand against the religion. Your work is far more important than Isaac Hayes, (whose 'soul' we can safely assume is on some alien spaceship now) and I hope one day that your name is associated with reason as much as Paul McCartney's name is with the peace movement.

  • I nodded at Stephen King once and he nodded back...

  • Did he say that he has always hated Isaac Hayes??

  • when i see you penn, you best be winking back

  • These are song lyrics, not a letter to congress. They're written that way because they sound good within the context of the song. Find something more important to bitch about, Penn.

  • I think grammar can be overanylized. I used to strive for perfect grammar (my mother was a secretary, and kind of a grammer-nazi), but as I got older, I realized I was basically talking like a robot. So I re-trained myself to be okay with splitting infinitives or ending sentences with prepositions, so my speech would flow more naturally. I think that in songs and poetry, it's even more important to suspend the rules of grammar, because the rhythm is so important.

  • oh yeah penn rocks! it would be funny if teller came out once and awhile did his classic blank look and walked out lol

  • Isn't it "in which we're living"?

  • interesting, but maybe he just needed a breath :P

    love you penn

  • I think you are way over analyzing song lyrics. Get a better hobby than eating shit off of shoes. A lot of times. Especially during live performances. A musician just gets lazy. Like a drummer switching to a half beat just because he can. McCartney was far more talented than Lennon.

  • @RAPSUCKS1738 How so?

  • @Superphilipp be more specific

  • @RAPSUCKS1738 That's what I tried to say.

    How is McCartney more talented than Lennon? How do you measure that? As a composer, singer, player, stage personality, writer? What do you mean?

  • @Superphilipp Oh LOL I guess it's just more of an opinion of mine than a provable fact. I just liked McCartney's music better. I thought Lennon was arrogant and pushy. Especially since he insisted on being named first on the Beatles songs. I'm not a big Beatles fan. They had some good ones. But, after the Beatles I liked McCartney's songs better

  • There are many reasons. Perhaps a song writer writes a song and does not think much about it, then bam its a hit and they are not happy with all the words or maybe as time goes by they think up something they feel is better. Maybe a rocker just forgets the original words and puts in new ones. And some times the establishment pushes for change to them and the artist obeys.

  • Penn - I'm heading your way in July. Other than your show at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, what show should I just not even THINK of missing?

  • It is precisely BECAUSE John Shaft is so complicated that but no one understands him but his woman. I dont see what the problem is here...

    Its not like he is a simple man but no one understands him but his woman. That would be crazy.

  • Can some one hand me a penn?

  • My dad pointed out the "Live and Let Die" grammatical gaff, and it's irked me ever since. It's even in the Guns N' Roses version.

  • I always took the "but" in Shaft to be the implication that the world at large (excluding "his woman" solely) does not see Shaft to be the complex figure that the song proclaims him to be.

  • i love how litteral penn is. most of the time i can't remember the lyrics of a song.

    you don't give yourself enough credit penn, you are an irrepaceable performer.

  • Like this if you've watched every Penn Point and Bullshit!

  • @PuffProductions08

    Like this if no one gives a shit.

  • @chadd990 you're cool.

  • @PuffProductions08

    yeah, so are you. thats why i liked your post. i bet you get all the pussy when you have over 100 likes on your post.

    hey everybody, like this comment right here so i can get some pussy.

    Do you have an attention problem or something dude? you're fucking cool, now fuck off. like i said, no one gives a shit.

  • @chadd990 someone can't take a compliment.

  • @chadd990 lmao ill like it but doubt it will get you pussy you need charisma,goodlooks, or a great sense of humour to get that well lots of money helps lol if the other elude you ;-)

  • @chadd990 wow, you really get worked up over nothing, I'm sorry did I make you mad? haha

  • @PuffProductions08

    yeah, if it makes you happy, it got mad. I'll let you feel victorious and laugh and giggle it up over there in wonderland, while I'll be over here back in reality where I'm not mad, and you're just making shit up to make yourself look better.

  • @chadd990 haha, why did you even start this? you wanted attention? If that made you mad than I'd hate to see you when you should be mad.

  • WE WANT BULLSHIT!

  • Is that the background music from Plants verses Zombies?

  • Dude, love the show. But being diagnosed OCD, i cant stand u going back and forth on cameras every 10 ticks. Hold it to 20 or 30 ticks before moving to the other camera

  • It's still better than those rap and R&B singers. I hate it when they say "they/you was", "they/you is", and in the words of Biggie Smalls, "Here I is".

  • I wonder what "Teller points" would be like.

    Would it just be Teller, stood in a room making hand gestures and facial expressions, and we would have to judge his opinions solely on the title of the clip?

    I would pay for that vlog...

    Back to this Penn Point, though. I agree 100%. It's like double negatives. Very annoying.

  • I'm now going to go through all my songs to take out the "in' and the "but".

    Okay, I'm not rally. I just wanted you to notice my comment.

    Ha ha, remember when you were in the movie Hackers? That was awesome!

  • To keep the rhythm of the original, he could have changed it to, "If this ever-changing world in which we're living...".

  • So, you're the guy on youtube correcting everybody's grammar. Huh, Penn?

  • It's always fun listening to people get annoyed with dubious grammar.

  • Why is pen such a bitch about song lyrics...don't leave any room for creative license and certainly you don't want to just sit and listen to the song and Let it Be!

  • LOL

  • hey penn WHY DONT YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP.

  • ' What I want to know, did Niel Armstrong say, "one step for man..." or "one step for A man...".

  • @suferable it was A man

  • @suferable Neil Armstrong said "one step for man...", but he meant "one step for a man..."

  • @KaineSpawnX Actually I bungled the quote, it was, "one SMALL step for a man".

  • why don't you shut the fuck up? x (PART 2!!!!)

  • Is this really worth a whole video talking about?

    Cool story brah

  • Only pop artists pussy out and change their lyrics.

  • i stop watching when the ad comes

  • @philipviele You should stop leaving you house because you might see ads walking down the street. Also dont turn on any electronic device or even read anything because you might see an ad. Dont live, you might see an ad,

  • @puklop you should stop leaving your house because you might hear people saying things you disagree with. also don't turn on any electronic device because you might see Youtube comments saying things you disagree with. and don't read anything because they might say something you disagree with. also don't live there is most likely a lot of comments in the world you will disagree with.

  • @philipviele i think most people do. you currently can't block in video ads in adblock plus.

  • @TheeCoolOne yes i have adblocker but his is in video

  • Why don't you shut the fuck up? x

  • Please don't eat shit off Paul McCartney's or Isaac Hayes' shoes.

  • @KDakota630 Isaac Hayes may have been a good songwriter but he was a Scientologist.

  • @SCRulerShinoda in your opinion those must be contradictory, but somehow related observations. What does being a good songwriter have to do with Scientology?

  • @KDakota630 What if he wants to? Are you going to deny him the right?!?!?! :D

  • Hej Penn, if you think that is bad? Just rewatch the new versions of the Star Wars OLD trilogy in new DVD release. Most "Pennpointy" (see what i did there!!! hahaha argh... nvm) is in Return of the Jedi at the end of the movie. Lucas edited in Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. Even a more horrendous example of editing in stuff...

  • Penn, I would like to wink at you one of these days because of my homosexual adoring of you.

  • 7th

  • BRING BACK BULLSHIT

  • @TheFattHatt1943

    The bull shit never left us.

  • @TheFattHatt1943 there are only so many topics important enough to put on it. 8 seasons is a lot by today's standards.

  • issac hayes and especially paul mccartney are both hack worthless "artists" so who cares

  • Hai Penn

  • and this episode of penn point starts right... now

  • I reckon to please changing audiences.

  • The Game

  • @xGothimox Drak City

  • @WhiteDragonTile Dark City*

  • @xGothimox curse u
