My favorite anecdote of Sir Paul McCartney, where he's talking about the band's song She Loves You (yeah, yeah, yeah)
> The song in question: https://youtu.be/nGbWU8S3vzs
> We sat there one evening, just beavering away while my dad was watching TV and smoking his Player cigarettes, while we wrote 'She Loves You'.
> We actually finished it there because we'd started it in a hotel room.
> We went into the living room and said 'Dad, listen to this. What do you think?'
> So we played it to my dad and he said, 'That's very nice son, but there's enough of these Americanisms around. Couldn't you sing 'She loves you, yes, yes, yes!'
> At which point we collapsed into a heap and said, 'No, Dad, you don't quite get it.'
> That's my classic story about my dad. For a working-class guy that was rather a middle-class thing to say, really. But he was like that.
