Nobody’s perfect, as the saying goes, and Paul McCartney will attest to that. His performance of ‘Hey Jude’ at the 2012 Summer Olympics began awkwardly, which, to those of us watching at home, was strange given how many times he’s sung that classic throughout the years. In a new interview, he explained what happened that caused the mix-up.
“I f—– up,” McCartney told the NME, “I was supposed to wait for a cue. But I forgot.” So what made the legend lose his place? “Well, there’s this bloody great bell that we didn’t know about.” he explained. “It was deafening. We were live, everyone was there, the world was ready and this bloody great bell goes off.”
Due to the scope of the event, the band had prerecorded a playback to use just “in case all hell broke loose.” McCartney continued. “I forget I’ve gotta wait for it, so I go, ‘Hey Jude’, and someone presses the playback. So there’s me on the backing track, and actual me, two of us singing.”
However, that didn’t let the mishap sour the evening. “The drummer wouldn’t look at me because he was in hysterics and I was thinking, ‘What have I done?’ There was no stopping, it was the Olympics.”





Hi. I'm Bill Hoebee and if nothing else, our show is ORIGINAL. If you have nothing better to, do listen in the morning...it's kind of like a train wreck for your ears and mind. My hobbies include identifying shiny objects, short walks on the beach, drinking, and keeping my 14 year relationship with my imaginary girlfriend alive. My favorite movies are "Spinal Tap" and any movie that begins with the words, "Ernest Goes to..." I mostly eat grape ice-pops and pie. I love my family, friends, watching t.v., and most of all...being a giant smart-ass for pay.
Look out, you rock and rollers. I'm Loretta (that's Miss Loretta to you), a.k.a. The Big Punisher. My mission: to start your afternoon off right, keep from killing Hoebee, and enjoy the beauty of the Florida Keys. I was born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in Jersey, and checked out every state but Hawaii. My favorite movie is "Kingpin", I like travelling, laughing, working out, music(duh), hanging with my friends, movies, and driving my cab!(I'm a full time cab driver for Friendly Cab, part time radio personality) . I love my little dog "Scrunchy", and he loves treats!
