Irrelevant fun fact. In south Korea in the 90's students would sing hey Jude as the last song in a karaoke, because it's like the longest song and even if your time is up they had to let you finish the last song. If you could start hey Jude just before the last minute it felt like you had beaten the system
That's really cool man😀
Thanks for this fun fact ! I will sing that song then when I will go to Korea ! Merci =)
oh my god that is so cool xD I love this fun fact!
Ahaha that’s pretty good fun fact. Interesting
Lol
BTS : _sings Hey Jude_ Paul : _flashback intensifies_
Where's Ringo??
Did BTS ever know the title? Obviously they do not seem to know "Hey Jude" (cannot answer) and only mumble the dadada part.
Seonghoon Jang yeah they did know the name of the song because i remember them mentioning it in another interview, i guess they just rehearsed that they’re all gonna start singing it instead of naming it for the entertaining purposes :)

No, he isn't the only one.
@@MiquelAngel yes he is the only one
Good one! :))) So he's still short of describing himself when saying "I'm a genius". Hha

@BrIan CurtiSmith you must be so insecure.
@BrIan CurtiSmith dude, chill
@BrIan CurtiSmith Alright, try writing songs as deep and as successful as Let It Be, Hey Jude, Yesterday and Eleanor Rigby. If you can, come back here and I'll stop talking.
He is a genius. Cannot imagine a world without the Beatles
BUT, Sadly for the people of planet earth, we have had to learn to live without John Lennon.I still feel like that murder changed the course of history completely, cause John, well, would have done just that if he had not been snatched away.
In that case i can recommend the 2019 movie Yesterday.

I'd be honored if some Beatles fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PENNY LANE and BLACKBIRD on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the dozens of genius compositions written by Sir Paul McCartney.

I just love it when BTS bursts out singing "Hey Jude." And yes, "nah, nah, nah, nanananah" are definitely easy lyrics. 🤣🤣🤣
The Beatles are probably the only group ever where you can be 10 years old or 90, and you will know at least 1 of their songs.
You should come to Liverpool, every ten year old can at least sing the chorus to 3 of their songs
When I was 6 I hated getting my hair cut. So my parents would put in the movie “help.” Been listening to them ever since.
Is yellow submarine one of their songs? Cause I know that song....

Paul is one of few living people who can say he's a genius without sounding cocky.
HOW CAN YOU NOT GET SARCASM AFTER ALL THIS TIME?
sabbracadabra no sarcasm at all, he knows it’s true as do we!
@@paola6812 It was sarcasm, he would never be that arrogant.
@Korbon Dallas I agree with you. But he acts humble, which is why this was supposed to be sarcasm.
The beatles were hella cocky back in their heyday, John Lennon once said that he's more popular than Jesus.
Paul McCartney could be a legend just for staying alive, but he chose to be a better human.
@BrIan CurtiSmith YMMV on listenability, and John said a lot of stuff... but in fact, he reconciled with Paul, thought "Coming Up" to be a "good piece of work", and was making the same kind of music (mellow pop with "domesticated" sensibilities) as Paul before he died.
@BrIan CurtiSmith yeah, that album is more than a little overrated. But I don't let it bring me down. Time to get off the ground w/ some English tea...
@BrIan CurtiSmith john liked some of the wings stuff you know. It's even in interviews. But they they fell out a bit so let's blow it all out of proportion.
N K no he died in 66
he's grown...alot...and become everything john and george always were...
His smile after saying "we were so excited" at 6:03 is so awesome, like he's reliving the emotion they felt together when they heard their stuff on the radio
First off, John and Paul's humor were one to a large extent-ie. "Easy lyrics?" Paul is funny and quick.
They were and he always has been! SOOO agree with you! Watched The Beatles on Ed Sullivan at age 8 and fell deeply right off. They have always been cheeky and so bright. My biggest connection musically now is actually Queen, but a part of my heart will always be with The Beatles. There will be sad and tear filled day ahead for me and many when Paul and Ringo each breathe their last.
Imagine being asked the same questions for almost 60 years and being such a good sport about it all, having a sense of humor about the whole thing. We need to cryogenically preserve this man.
He’s not done yet! ( but know what u mean)
So he can answer the same questions eternally?
Totally. Self awareness.
tin pan alley 1619 Broadway Oh, okay. You’re right!
which question?
The only human being who can say "I'm a genius" and everyone around agree WITH A SMILE😀
Trump: but I'm a stable genius...
not the only one but it's true we all should agree on that
Ringo too and maybe George but John would be critical and we would have another we're-bigger-than-jesus-crisis.
Truee!!
John would like to have a word!
LEGEND to the core. Humility, patience, humor, empathy.
It's so amazing how he is able to answer the same question and tell the same stories for decades with the same enthusiasm and sympathy. What a gentleman.
Paul: blinks US audience: WOOOHOOOOOOOO *clapping
Rightly so.
*Most audiences international (lol)
Can you blame them?
It's Paul McCartney! His farts sound better than most music!
Hahahahahhhahahaha
He is the only one who can say "I am a genius" and sound humble

CynicalEniGma and maybe you shouldn’t judge the singing voices of professional rappers alongside singers- i don’t hear anyone ever criticize frank ocean, kanye west, or post malone for not being able to “sing a tune”
The conversation here with Paul made me realize that perhaps besides musical ability, just plain intelligence might be another attribute of very successful musicians.
They were all very very hip, cool. They got it before you did.
comedians too.
@@objuan6 The Marx Bros. Lennon was cuter though than Groucho. I interviewed them both as a matter of fact.
Successful anything, really. You don't have that kind of longevity by just being talented. Talent is like, the easy part.

What a great intro, "You know him because he's Paul McCartney"
@BrIan CurtiSmith yeah. Magic Mystery Tour. Pff. Hey Jude. Nah. The concept of Sargent Peppers. WTF. A amazing solo carrier... influenced a thousand artists.... Nop. Just Yesterday. Cammon man stop it.
@BrIan CurtiSmith how about a little ditty named "Helter Skelter"? Only the very first metal song ever made... And Jude was not a shot at Jews. It was originally called "Hey Jules" in reference to John Lennon's son Julian... But the sound of Jules in the song sounded very weird so he changed it to Jude, unaware that Jude was a Jewish slur word... So you can knock that shit off right now. Baby I'm Amazed... His most famous solo work ever. Incredible song. Let it Be... Get Back... Golden Slumber/Carry That Weight/The End... Penny Lane... Band on the Run... Get a clue

Woah, that was the longest I've ever seen Colbert's audience applaud someone.
And loudest.
Everyone knows that he is PAUL McCARTNEY!!! < 3 I love the applauds.
Clearly, you don't watch a lot of Steve Colbert. With screeching teeth, It was probably in the top 10, but most definitely not top 5 (let alone top 3).He got a pretty good applause, all things considered.
@@VladR1024 So the top 3 might be?
Cause he's PAUL MCCARTNEY!
My very first record album was Magical Mystery Tour. I was thirteen years old. It was the only album i owned for about a year. I played that album over and over and over. I know every word to every song on that album. I probably glued together a 100+ model cars listening to that album. 50+ years later, I still know every word to every song on that album. Inexplicably, it has never gotten old. I still love it to this day. I love all their music. Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road, The White Album, Revolver, Rubber Soul, Let it Be, Yellow Submarine, With the Beatles, Beatles for Sale. I owned every album they ever made. The GREATEST band of all time. GOATS.
"And plus, I'm a genius." I mean he's not wrong.
I love how savage Paul McCartney is: "Easy lyrics?"
I think there is some truth to that about Beatles music in general. Their lyrics, along with their melodies, make their songs compelling to sing along with. Subsequently, it helps ingrain them into our memories. Please understand, I don't mean that Beatles songs are simplistic. I believe the word elegant applies here instead. To me, their music is perfection. Just enough without being too much, if that makes sense.
@Calvin Kaminski No...I did not mean it like that and your opinion is just that...an opinion.
@Calvin Kaminski damn you're pretentious 😂
@Calvin Kaminski You’d think that people would of had enough of silly love songs. But I look around me and I see it isn’t so...But what’s what’s wrong with that?
@Calvin Kaminski Well I sure won't be listening to pretentiously people that think they are the authority on what constitutes good music and don't know the difference between opinion and fact.
5:59 I'm afraid some people won't understand that when he says "trannies" he means transistor radios (little portable radios).
Mark T. That’s where the 557 dislikes came from lmao
Thanks for pointing that out. It did kinda shock me
Master of None Shock you? Did you understand the context of his story?
I'm just glad he didn't say "the micro thing making my meals" or we would have a little people riot.
There is a famous photo of the Four holding transistor radios listening to DJs losing it over The Beatles.
I have never seen a reaction like that before for anybody and ive watched a lot of talk shows over the years. Paul must be one of the most love people on the planet. So blessed to be on this earth at the same time as this legend.
What an utterly charming superstar! He's effortlessly real and genuine, even after all these years. I love his sense of humor and candidness.

Cadê o cover de Let It Be? nem ensaiou né...
@Tong Zou You clearly dont know anything about bts. They write and produce mostly all their music, and if they dont then they work with the producers. There are 3 rappers and 4 vocalists, and they can rap and sing really well. Sure they dont play instruments live, but they make up for that by dancing, also some of them can play instruments. They've practiced all day everyday for 10+ years. They made the dance studio mirrors go foggy from dancing and practicing so hard. They were also poor and their company almost went bankrupt. The kpop industry looked down on bts and put them through hell. Bts gives us so much content besides music. They have multiples variety shows, they posts a ton of vlogs, they have a whole storyline in some of their albums called HYYH, and they have two books based off the storyline.
Hey Jude is such a wow pretty song , oh my gosh , pretty & heart felt , awe, even, Bravo too ! 👏 💖

I love the questions that Stephen Colbert is asking Paul McCartney. Questions a lot of us Americans have had especially those of us that saw them on the original Ed Sullivan show when they first came here. I was sitting in front of the TV at my great-grandmother's house. She was born in 1889. I still remember her reaction. Oh my Lord she said. Those boys are good. Those girls are going crazy. They're going to get rich. I turned around and saw the surprise and humor on her face. Totally imprinted on my brain.

"Who ever wrote this is pretty good" understatement of the century
Sir Paul seems genuine and gracious. Love that BTS got so into “Hey Jude”. Wonder if that little nod at the end was a knowing one to fellow songwriter Jon Batiste over the easy lyrics joke.

I learned English with the Beatles. I love their work and I love Paul McCartney. They are legends. I also love BTS. I got me so emotional to see how Paul looked at BTS singing Hey Jude… I wasn’t expecting it. My first idol watching my current idols with benevolence, it was beautiful.
Such a funny and talented gentleman. Paul was always my favourite Beatle....I had such a huge crush on him. I remember waiting every week to hear their latest song and they NEVER disappointed. I am blessed to have lived through this time.

This entire interview was essentially: Colbert: “you’re great!” McCartney: “I know”
Have you seen Paul McCartney's catalog of songs?
And still I enjoyed it
Your point is...?
They were both correct
@@kemperwatson3490 Oh I have, he is completely right. Just funny.
The fact that Paul is in his 80s and still has the crowd screaming
Im not a fan of BTS (or k-pop in general) …but god damn when they just all started singing the end i couldnt help but smile
glad they made you smile, they're a really funny group, lol.
Same here :) The truth is if I were younger I’d probably have a crush on one of them.
I feel like when Paul was watching BTS singing, he was reminded of his younger years with The Beatles. I love them both so much, I just wish I was alive during the time The Beatles had concerts so I could experience it 💕🥺
You would have not heard a word or note they we're singind and playing...just girls screaming and crying
Paul and Ringo still get together. Ringo showed up for the encore last summer at Dodger Stadium. AWESOME!
i can imagine people don't know who Paul is and only know BTS and are thinking "wow bts are so nice! giving this old guy a chance"
@@julianstraubel1395 it is this old dude was lucky to be given a chance by bts
that's in your mind, Paul didn't do that. your idols is nothin, not deverse to compare with The Beatles. fandom of this "k-band" are always live in fantasy, flatter their band ontop and tackle any artist who have better debut than their band. you guys are so mean to Lady Gaga by rate 1* for her unborn album. i found you guys & your band are disgusting. you guys can "cheat" views KZhead, can buy alot of pre-Order, do what you want to put your idols ontop, but stop comparing with the legend, stop attack any debut artist pls 🙅
The man is a treasure. And btw he IS a genius all kidding aside
Wow, really going out on a limb there, David!
@@aquamarine99911 Well I came up with a 2 pronged test to apply to anyone in any field to see if that person is a genius 1. Virtuoso level of skill in the applicable profession/vocation/ avocation ; and 2. He/she caused or helped to cause a paradigmatic shift in that profession, etc. Here are some examples that I think pass the test. Einstein, Pablo Picasso, julius Erving, James Joyce Walt Whiman, virginnia woolf William Shakespeare, miles Davis Frank lloyd wright Frank sinatra FDR leonard Bernstein Bach Rod serling Bobby orr et al. I think sirPM belongs on that list . Try making a list of your own. It's a lot of fun I forgot to list jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page and mick and Keith
David DeMar god i have no doubt that you say that girls who turn you down are either “beneath you” or “couldnt handle your intelligence”
You mean ALL kidding aside...
Who says you’re kidding?
With every year that passes, the Beatles’ songs get even better and will be played for as long as humanity survives. Thank you to Sir Paul, to Ringo Starr, the two surviving members of the band and to John Lennon and George Harrison, the members sadly no longer with us. Britain is very lucky to have had such brilliant musicians as all 4 of you were, and, of course, Sir Paul and Ringo Starr still are.
“Getting Closer” finally getting the respect it deserves from Stephan’s band
imagine how wonderful it would be knowing that Paul McCartney has heard of you, that he knows who you are, JHOPE must have fainted when he found out
Didn't realize that lol
the fact that Paul McCartney already knew who bts are
Who are bts?
@@allemander google them sir lmao Ü
allemander they are a boyband from South Korea! check them out if u want! :D
Yeah, it's impressive... Like, wow. I love both bands tho, so this is... I feel like I'm in a strange and great paradox.
@@alejandrofonsecasuarez1842 same (•ᴗ•) what is the first song you checked/heard from them sir?
The talk on BTS starts at 8:11.
Thank you.
i already knew it , BTS part will be most replayed so i just directly clicked on that part lol ..Well thanks tho
Paul is so fine and talented. All ages of his life, he stayed adorable.
I’m not a K pop fan, but this earns me a ton of respect for BTS
@Venkata Putta you are a toxic Beatles fan...
@Venkata Putta think of a new insult, we're getting tired of that one sis
@Venkata Putta why?
@Venkata Putta please please please learn how to be respectful, educate yourself about the topic you want to speak about and then say something ok.
@@yoonvillera1383 Thank you for being mature about it. There are not many people in this world like you.
"You recommend to all the young people, just be a genius?" "Yeah... why not?"
Honestly just start somewhere, it’s motivating
I remember watching them on at Sullivan that Sunday night in 1964. the whole family gathered around the black-and-white Zenith TV. It's like it was yesterday
He contains his energy so beautifully. Family. Genius. Humility. 💙💙💙
Start at 8:17 for the "reaction" part of this interview. Love Paul's face while he is watching BTS.
Thank you💜
Thank you so much you absolute angel
You are the best 💜
Estaba buscando este comentario, thank u😊💜
Paul is like: Yup. Me, John, George and Ringo are immortal 😊
That is the walk of a man who's had his whole life to get used to being screamed at
By audiences? That was all over forever by, I think, 1965
@@pattyayers What rock do you live under?
@Franklin Cavallo He had some great tunes with Wings, too. Band on the Run, Live and Let Die, Maybe I'm Amazed.
@@pattyayers unmute the video real quick....
The man still can't walk down the street without hordes of maniacs screaming and stampeding towards him. After John's murder, and the attack on George, the endless beatle-mania would have made a lesser man paranoid. Yet, Paul gracefully troops on. (And Ringo, too!)
Whatta life. This guy has had the world in the palm of his hand since he was 20. Whatta life...
I'm a Beatles era lady of 73 and when I was a Teenager my Dad loved the Beatles too. I will never forget the Beatles. Paul and George were my favourites 😍. Now at 73, I follow and absolutely 💯 % Love BTS. BTS spoke very little English back then. English is a hard language to learn but they are all trying very hard and have come a long way since that show. Learning English is one thing but comprehension takes some time. Language is no barrier when it comes to music. The melody, rhythm play huge part. I am now learning about Korean history and culture and the language. From that interview with BTS on that Show , I was not impressed with Stephen Colberts interview and I used to stay up until 12.30am t watch him. but unfortunately don't watch him as often now. His musician and Band leader, John Batiste is a big fan of Tae and Jimin. Please grow Stephen Colbert.
Such a respectful performer. He doesnt want to sit while the audience is clapping, small things make a big difference
@@paulmccarthney3890 mccarthney lmfaoo
Stuff from the past that we lost.
Which is amazing considering people have been clapping at him for 60 years.
It's my pleasure having you as my fans ❣️❤️
