Sir Paul McCartney forgets Hey Jude lyrics

Sir Paul McCartney forgets Hey Jude lyrics
(BANG) -Sir Paul McCartney forgets the lyrics to 'Hey Jude'.

The Beatles musician has been singing the 1968 single for over 40 years, but although he sometimes forgets the words, says crowds don't mind.

He said: ''It's funny. I sometimes forget those. It's a devilish lyric. I occasionally do forget them. But the great thing is, I used to panic about that, but I realize now that the audiences don't mind.

''In fact, they quite like it. They're at the show where I forgot the words, and it makes that show special.''

Paul performed at the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic games last Friday (27.07.12) and although he wasn't particularly nervous, he did share beforehand that he hoped he doesn't make any mistakes on stage.

He joked to ShortList magazine: ''Generally I don't [get nervous]. But having said that, you never quite know. You can do something such as the Jubilee or the Olympics and get the old collywobbles.

''Oh God, that'd be good, wouldn't it? Make a mistake at the Olympics. 'Hi there. Listen, welcome to Britain. I just wanted to stop the song, just for a minute. We'll start again.'''

    He may not have forgotten the words but it was not a good performance and he looked like he wasn't well and his voice was really shacky.



    I have no idea why they picked that song because I think it is one of the worst ever. Should have picked something else or better yet, a different singer.

    I believe Sir Paul was an important part of the Opening Ceremonies for reasons too numerous to count. Yes, he did seem to be struggling with his voice a few times but - considering his age and the stress of such a massive global audience - I think he pulled it off. The crowds loved it. He's a British icon!

      No doubt he is an icon but he is very arrogant and full of himself.



      Ringo is my favourite by far.

          Sorry 4 the spelling error. Should read: Why do U say he's arrogant and full of himself?

    I thought his singing was off at the Olympic Ceremony. Perhaps, they should have picked Mick Jagger or someone else.
