McCartney cited the song as his favorite in a newly released episode of his podcast, McCartney: A Life in Lyrics, and then explained how Fred Astaire was a partial inspiration for the 1966 song that was part of the wonderful album in “Stir”.
“I was a big fan of Fred Astaire and still am. And unlike the studio executives, who thought he knew how to dance a little but had no voice, I always loved his voice, I still do.”
McCartney also explained how he wrote the song while waiting for John Lennon will wake up to start the day:
“I would go out to his house for a writing session and he wouldn’t always be awake.”
McCartney took advantage of the always lazier Lennon.
“So he would often have 20 minutes or half an hour while someone would tell him they were there, and he would get up. I remember sitting by his pool at his house in Weybridge, which is a golf suburb of London. He had my guitar because he was ready for the writing session. So we sat down and started something… everything went pretty smoothly and smoothly. So when I started writing with John, I already had something to go on.”
But McCartney confesses that at the time he wasn’t entirely sure what direction the song’s lyrics would take.
“Even when you have lyrics like this, the purpose of the lyrics is to support the melody rather than being a lyric. “It’s quite liberating.” continuous.
“You can experiment as you go. So things slip out of you like they would in a session with a psychiatrist… Basically, I always say that when I write a song, I follow a trail of breadcrumbs. Someone has dropped these breadcrumbs, and I see the first few, and you just go with the flow, and I feel like I’m following the song instead of writing it.”
Macca covered himself in the 80s in the film “Give My Regards To Broad Street.”
