I get very excited when I learn something new and fun about The Beatles. You think you know all there is to know, and then bam! You find out about a Paul McCartney song you’ve never heard before. A song he wrote as a teenager, but which was deemed unusable by The Beatles. So in 1964 Paul gave it to Peter Asher, brother of Paul’s longtime girlfriend Jane Asher. The song went to #1 in both England and the US. It’s pretty catchy! Paul gave Peter a few other songs, but this was the first and most successful. But as if that wasn’t fun enough… look at Peter Asher! HE IS AUSTIN POWERS!!!! As soon as I saw this video I knew the character had to have been based on him, and after a quick Google search, it was confirmed. The best moment is 0:32. It’s kind of eery. Those teeth!
Edit: The video I originally posted was taken off YouTube 😦 Trying to locate it somewhere else, but in the meantime here is a different version.
