About
Paul McCartney contributed to a re-recording of The Beatles’ “Drive My Car“, in association with R.A.D.D. (Rockers Against Drunk Driving). His contribution was recorded in London (unknown location).
From beatlesonfilm.com:
Paul made a cameo appearance in the promo video for the RADD single “Drive My Car” which was issued to promote a new drink driving campaign. Also seen in the video are Ringo, Harry Nilsson and Julian Lennon. The video was premiered during the telecast of “The American Music Awards” in early February. Clips from the video were shown on numerous entertainment shows like “E!”” and “Entertainment Tonight”.
