Song facts

In 2007, while promoting his new album “Memory Almost Full“, Paul McCartney did a TV interview during which he improvised a song. The few lyrics sung by Paul have later been used to create a tune by Beatles enthusiast Iamaphoney. As explained on a blog covering the work of this enthousiast:

While promoting “Memory Almost Full,” Paul McCartney did an interview with one of the cutest girls on the planet. On “15 Big Ones” she cajoled him into making up a song on the spot with her.

Iamaphoney has taken this scrap of a tune and turned it into something quite enjoyable that would make a nice B-Side to any McCartney single. I think the production values are outstanding and that many would be fooled. Maybe that’s the part of this thing that some people don’t like. “Shoes” has been added to a site that someone not familiar with the Iamaphoney adventure would think is a legitimate Paul McCartney site.

Yes, that is a bit misleading. If Paul saw this, I don’t know if he would get angry or ask Iamaphoney to produce his next album.
