McCartney dedicates 'Michelle' to FLOTUS By: Patrick Gavin August 2, 2009 12:22 AM EST
Music superstar Paul McCartney is rocking out at FedEx Field Saturday night and, since he's near the White House, Sir Paul gave a special tribute to first lady Michelle Obama: Before playing the Beatles classic, "Michelle", McCartney told the packed audience that he was dedicating it to the first lady.
Considering that the song's lyrics include "I love you, I love you, I love you

Gag me with a weed-eater!
BARF!
bye bye Paul.....
......leave the old geezer be....he knows not what he sings anymore.
RAAAALPH!!!!
“Taxman” would have been a better choice.
Agreed, except that was a George Harrison song.
I shouldn't have told the whole family.
May be Paul McCartney pops on her shower curtain dresses.
In case there are some who don’t know how appropriate your suggestion is, here are the lyrics:
Let me tell you how it will be,
There’s one for you, nineteen for me,
‘Cos I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t take it all.
‘Cos I’m the Taxman,
Yeah yeah, I’m the Taxman.
(If you drive a car car), I’ll tax the street,
(If you try to sit sit), I’ll tax your seat,
(If you get too cold cold), I’ll tax the heat,
(If you take a walk walk), I’ll tax your feet.
Taxman.
‘Cos I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
Don’t ask me what I want it for
(Ah Ah! Mister Wilson!)
If you don’t want to pay some more
(Ah Ah! Mister Heath!),
‘Cos I’m the Taxman,
Yeeeah, I’m the Taxman.
Now my advice for those who die, (Taxman!)
Declare the pennies on your eyes, (Taxman!)
‘Cos I’m the Taxman,
Yeah, I’m the Taxman.
And you’re working for no-one but me,
(Taxman).
Paul is dead, Paul is dead...
Paul played the lead guitar on Taxman...famous riff and excellent solo. Musical genius, political dolt.
He predicted this back before the election by calling her "Michelle ma belle"
I wonder if the old queen was wearing his “No Landmines” teeshirt that always pisses me off?
The Lost John Lennon Interview
"Power to the People"
TA (interviewer): In a way you were even thinking about politics when you seemed to be knocking revolution?
JL (Lennon): Ah, sure, 'Revolution' . There were two versions of that song but the underground left only picked up on the one that said 'count me out'. The original version which ends up on the LP said 'count me in' too; I put in both because I wasn't sure. There was a third version that was just abstract, musique concrete, kind of loops and that, people screaming. I thought I was painting in sound a picture of revolution--but I made a mistake, you know. The mistake was that it was anti-revolution.
On the version released as a single I said 'when you talk about destruction you can count me out'. I didn't want to get killed. I didn't really know that much about the Maoists, but I just knew that they seemed to be so few and yet they painted themselves green and stood in front of the police waiting to get picked off. I just thought it was unsubtle, you know. I thought the original Communist revolutionaries coordinated themselves a bit better and didn't go around shouting about it. That was how I felt--I was really asking a question. As someone from the working class I was always interested in Russia and China and everything that related to the working class, even though I was playing the capitalist game.
He’s getting REALLY old now and after all that drug use in his earlier years... his brains are kinda mush these days...
Ob la di, Ob la da Paulie... It was nice to know ya..
