This is both creepy and cool. The leadoff single from McCartney's 2013 album of the same name, but with AI swapping out Paul's 2013 voice for his 1966 version and then adding Lennon on backing/harmony vocals.
I like it, even though I'm very afraid of it
Agreed. It's super catchy.

Fucks sake, I was loving that first AI Beatles song and now it's gone. Anyone save the audio?

I did not. Bummer. I'm glad the killjoys at UMG felt threatened enough that they had to take it down...

An underrated gem. McCartney's bass playing is golden and Lennon's vocal delivery is wonderfully rough and playful at the same time. Also, his guitar solo is top notch.

This may literally be my favorite Beatles song
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

There's something so wonderfully snarly at work there, a preview of (but better than) much of Lennon's post-Beatles work.

The song also inspired an absolutely perfect Beatles site name: https://www.heydullblog.com

I love this lyric: "Some kind of solitude is measured out in you" which apparently came from McCartney misreading the original lyric.

I agree. It's wonderfully snarly, yet they sound like they were having an absolute blast recording it.

The Yellow Submarine Songtrack version of Hey Bulldog is the best mix. It was a song that never stood out for me until I heard it on there.

Only one in the last ten years. Some comets come around quicker than that.

Comets are also less unsettling omens for the future.

Bring up Cock Sparrer more and KISS less and we'd be Flestoning all over this place.

In the mid-’90s, McCartney, Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison worked together unsuccessfully to try and finish their former bandmate’s “Now And Then” demo, to no avail.

“George didn’t like it,” the former Wings frontman told Q magazine in 1997. “The Beatles being a democracy, we didn’t do it.”
"But George is dead now, so I'm going to do it."

Paul can do whatever he wants, of course, and I'm good with this project because John wanted Paul to have it, but that's the kind of stuff that adds credence to George's belief that Paul was a controlling prick.
