Default Paul McCartney Carpool Karaoke: 70 Million + Views. A Must-See!

I thought this had been posted on the board, so forgive me if this is a repeat, but it's worth it.

Here's Macca driving around Liverpool with James Corden. So sweet and touching, with some wonderful suprises. You're gonna like this.

Oh my goodness.

Call me an old softie if you will, but I was close to tears for most of the way through this.
Thank you for posting the link.

You old softie.

My wife and I watched it together, and we were both close to bawling. And she was watching it for the second time.

All old softies together then. There's comfort in numbers. [Passing the box of tissues...]

Is there anyone who receives more genuine adoration than Paul McCartney?

What must it be like?

I had a friend who was touring the English countryside and walked into a market when Paul was leaving. Knowing he was recognized due to dropped jaw, he wished him a good day. He was just another pleasant local Englishman.

Yes, pass the Kleenex.

I just think McCartney is such an amazing person. He still has the wide-eyed optimism of the 11-year-old British schoolboy he once was.

I'm sure he has his imperfections, but for someone who, with three other lads (four, if you include George Martin), changed the course of Western culture he seems pretty centered. So glad he is in our world.

I saw this last week for the first time; I kept thinking Youtube is GREAT!
I too almost had a tear of joy in my eye watching this "Beatles Tour of Londdon". Sir Paul has to be my fav musician of all time. He's so hmble.
Check out the other episodes, the Elton John and Stevie Wonder episodes were fantastic too. And the Bruno Mars one was very entertaining.
My wish list for other episodes:
Justin Hayward
Robert Plant
Roger Waters
David Gilmore
ERic Clapton

Good point, I had thought the same thing while watching it.

Nice to hear it touched so many of you the same way it touched me.
