Well helllloooooo Johnny Depp!!!! :0)
The song isn’t half bad either. lol
Thank you for sharing @Pachyderm_In_The_Room
Catchy little tune, but man, what I really like is his house/studio. Paul’s still pretty damn spry, skipping down the staircase like a youngster.
Yes to Johnny Depp…oooh, my heart be still. :-p
I’ve always been a ‘Lennon guy’, but Paulie’s still got the goods. And no matter how famous, some of these people have to be thinking “Wow….I’m in a McCartney video…”
Thanks, Pachy.
P.S. My wife just pointed out that Paul and all of the others were likely not there at the same time…
Wow! Three thumbs up and no diss-McCartneys so far. Yaaaay!
I found it crap. Paul McCartney lost it years ago. His voice, he songs, they are all the same. He knows it won’t get far in the charts so he brings in famous people to help. Still won’t do well.
@Headhurts Well….he has many, amazing, artistic accomplishments and “A” is for effort. No one hit wonder with ol’ Paul.
If you can still be tapping into your creative energy at 70 something, that counts for a lot. He is still a very vital source of creativity.
Probably us boomers, we grew up on the Beatles and they were and remain an icon in the evolution of rock-in-roll.
Hell, Paul has more energy than I do and I am barely 54, and..we did the same drugs too! lol
Rock on Paul!
Personally I am a diehard George Harrison fan, RIP dear George.
I agree, George Harrison was very talented. John Lennon was very talented also.
I like it. The man was quite a song writer. Watch this interview (rather listen).
I love his melodies.
Fun fact: Crosby, Still and Nash tried out for George Harrison’s record label (Apple Records), and he turned them down, haha!
Brilliant song writer in his day. I’ve met him apparently, though I were about 2 month old, so don’t quite remember. My dad was a huge fan.
Yes! Just saw it today. But what on earth is a Queenie Eye?
@Kardamom He’s referencing a playground kids game.
@ucme Thanks! The link is showing a bad Wiki, but I’ll take your word for it.
@Kardamom Yeah, it’s a fucked up link, but definitely an old game kids use to play.
A ball was used to pass around & whoever was left holding it when the song finished was deemed “Queenie’ with the “eye”
^^ Ha ha. I love you Brits!
Just to answer the question, i’m more or less in agreement with @Headhurts, since his Beatles days Macca just comes across as cheesy & desperate, not a fan of his solo stuff.
I like it. “It’s got a good beat and you can dance to it.”
Well anyway… not too many diss-Pauls. I like a lot of his solo stuff and admire him for the good works he does. And at 71, he’s surely a lot busier and more creative than most people I know of any age.
OK, just listened to 30-second clips of all 15 songs from ‘NEW’ using CD Universe. I will admit that McCartney’s best singing and songwriting days are well behind him, but during the past 50 years ( !! ), nobody else comes remotely close to hitting as many home runs as this guy has….
Guess Cliff Richard could give him a run for his money. Still a pin up for the old ladies, always does a yearly calendar, with a bare torso as well.
Bum, bum, bum, ayeeah, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum :(
Big diss here he goes in the same bag as elton john, bono, the stones, aerosmith , blah retire already
Fuck no, I really hate Paul McCartney
@trailsillustrated OMG….Elton John is far worse than Paul. I could go the rest of my life without anymore EJ and, gawd..I so HATE Stevie Nicks!
Throw that candle in the wind into her fucking Landslide. lol
Now…Aerosmiths ” Dude looks like a lady” and ” Love in an elevator” CLASSIC rock…what’s to hate about those two iconic tunes?
I agree with the Stones and never listened to Bono.
I love the Beatles, and I gotta say this song sucks ass.
Since Lennon died, McCartney hasn’t felt challenged to out do him. The result is this lame crap.
I liked the brief glimpse of Jeremy Irons.
Bono is an annoying mother fucker also…
Not a big fan of Paul, I honestly think he’s a bit of an ass, but the song is catchy and the video is fun. Meryl Streep still looks gorgeous.
@downtide, you’re so right about Streep. I meant to say that earlier.
I’ve always loved Ms. Streep. My wife refers to her as “Your girlfriend”.
If you’ve never seen it, do yourself a favor and check out ‘Defending Your Life’, her early 90s movie with Albert Brooks. Bonus performance by Rip Torn. Awesome movie….
It was fun to see Meryl Streep having fun. I didn’t love the song, but I enjoyed it.
Some of you McCartney fans may have seen this, but if not you will love it.
Something like two years ago, Paul McCartney was honored at The White House, given the Gershwin Award for Popular Music. Several performers covered his songs before a small audience, which included President and Mrs. Obama and their children.

Yes ma’am.
My favorite happens to be Elvis Costello singing ‘Penny Lane’. When time allows, please let me know yours….
