McCARTNEY TURNED DOWN WEIRD AL
Brought To You By VH1’s Dave Basner
Weird Al Yankovic has parodied many a song but sometimes gets turned down by the original singers for one reason or another, and that’s exactly what happened when Al asked Paul McCartney if he could spoof the Wings hit “Live and Let Die.” Paul, a devout vegetarian and animal rights activist, denied Yankovic since Al wanted to turn it into “Chicken Pot Pie.” Yankovic told ESPN’s The B.S. Report that McCartney didn’t want it turned into a song possibly promoting the consumption of animal flesh. However, Al said Paul told him to think of another subject and he’d be happy to OK it.
