Paul McCartney Releases ‘Queenie Eye’

If Johnny Depp and Gary Barlow were dancing around our piano, there wouldn’t be a person within 10 miles who didn’t hear about it. Paul McCartney doesn’t even bat an eyelid in his new release ‘Queenie Eye’.

It’s that kind of focus that’s created such a great new record, which is based on a childhood chant Paul remembers when he was growing up in Liverpool: “Queenie eye, queen eye, who’s got the ball? It isn’t in my pocket. O-U-T spells OUT!” Paul recalls, “It came from a street game I use to play as a kid. Those kind of things always stick with you. I always liked the rhythm of the chant”.

Lucky for us that chant was such a catchy one, because it’s provided a fittingly catchy song. Performed from Abbey Road studios, the video sees the former Beatle recording the track in what he thinks is an empty studio. As the song develops the studio starts to fill up with people all reacting in different ways to the song and Paul is completely unaware. The video brings everybody’s personal experience into one place.

Our personal experience was a particularly good one, so give this a listen and we’re betting yours will be too.
