People playing: Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Ringo Star, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Billy Preston, Albert Lee, Ray Cooper, and others.

This is the best version of this I've ever heard.

doogle: I'm going to assume you're serious. Back when the Beatles were releasing albums, there were rumors that Paul McCartney had died. This was further enhanced by little tell-tale things people saw, ie. the Abbey Road album had all the members walking across the actual Abbey Rd. in England with the left foot first. All except Paul who's right foot was forward. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_Road_%28album%29) There were also several other "clues" that people used to put together that McCartney had died. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_is_dead

Regardless, this is the "Paul is dead" he's referring to; making allusions to the fact that people were seeing what they wanted to see.

With that said, of course they put that in the Huckabee commercial. He has armies of people on his campaign staff and you're telling me not one person noticed it and pointed it out before it went to air? Of course they knew...

"I love the vintage, fuzzy style of the video, it makes you wonder 'is that...?'"

I thought the same thing. It's funny how there are a lot of people who seem to look like Paul McCartney.

The lyrics, if you can't keep up Talib's flow:

[Talib]
Yeah...my Lord...yeah.

[Verse 1: Talib]
We sell crack to our own out the back of our homes
We smell the musk at the dusk in the crack of the dawn
We go through "Episodes II," like "Attack of the Clones"
Work 'til we break our back and you hear the crack of the bone
To get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We commute to computers
Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors
We survivalists, turned to consumers
To get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
Ask Him why some people got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailor
I paint a picture with the pen like Norman Mailer
Mi abuela raised three daughters all by herself, with no help
I think about a struggle and I find the strength in myself
These words, melt in my mouth
They hot, like the jail cell in the South
Before my nigga Core bailed me out
To get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We do or die like Bed-Stuy through the red sky
With the window of the red eye
Let the lead fly, some G. Rap shit, "Livin' to Let Die"

[Chorus: Background singers]
This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smokin', and stop drinkin'
And I've been thinkin' - I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)

[Talib and background singers]
(ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahh
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by by by by by by)
(ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahh
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by by by by by by)

[Verse 2: Talib]
We keeping it gangster say "fo shizzle", "fo sheezy" and "stayin crunk"
It's easy to pull a breezy, smoke trees, and we stay drunk
Yo, our activism attackin' the system, the blacks and latins in prison
Numbers of prison they victim black in the vision
Shit and all they got is rappin' to listen to
I let them know we missin' you, the love is unconditional
Even when the condition is critical, when the livin' is miserable
Your position is pivotal, I ain't bullshittin' you
Now, why would I lie? Just to get by?
Just to get by, we get fly
The TV got us reachin' for stars
Not the ones between Venus and Mars, the ones that be readin' for parts
Some people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers
Saturday sinners, Sunday morning at the feet of the Father
They need somethin' to rely on, we get high on all types of drug
When, all you really need is love
To get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
Our parents sing like John Lennon, "Imagine all the people watch"
We rock like Paul McCartney from now until the last Beatle drop

[Chorus: Background singers]
This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new and I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smoking, and stop drinking
And I've been thinking - I've got my reasons
Just to get (by), just to get (by)
Just to get (by), just to get (by)

[Talib: repeat 2x - with background singers]
Yoyoyo, yo
Some people cry, and some people try
Just to get by, for a piece of the pie
You love to eat and get high
We deceive when we lie, and we keepin' it fly

Yoyoyo, yo
When, the people decide, to keep a disguise
Can't see they eyes, see the evil inside
But there's people you find
Strong or feeble in mind, I stay readin' the signs

by-the-way, Zach Galafinakis looks a lot like a bearded Paul McCartney... awesome

Why is it a new beatles movie?? What does this have to do with Beatles besides the Vietnam era? Paul McCartney produced it? Or about 4 British youngsters forming a band?

I don't understand the title of the submission

Back then I thought this was Paul McCartney. Never noticed what a wonderfully depressing song this was...

Well, I mean, it's Paul McCartney, it's not like it was good before OR after.

bwahaha!

Um, why the "guns n roses" tag? You don't think Guns n' Roses wrote "Live and Let Die", do you? Sorry, it was Paul McCartney (and Wings), writing the theme song for the James Bond movie from 1973.

Because who doesn't like Paul McCartney and a gaggle of singing frogs in hot air balloons?

Yeah...U2, Paul McCartney, Prince - nobodies, really.
*rolls eyes*

farhad, you clearly don't know much about music.
Just stop, already.

Uhhhh... lemme jump in here to say this about that-bamdrews pulpit there refers to one of my favorite topics, Wobal Glorming- If you think that paying an inordinant amount of attention to any one aspect of the homosapien dance will profit the world...well, look at poor old Paul McCartney and the bozo HE married.

Look man, plain and simple,mother earth belches more toxic waste than any of us will ever!!!! Does this not compute???

Otherwise, there is no doubt that we fuck up biodiversity every time we turn around-But....here we are, at the beginning of a new day and we can all still breathe, Jesus has not come back, we did not destroy the planet with nukaler bombs-Enjoy the day, god, its gorgeous here....as in , WHAT THE F...K CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT WITHOUT DOING AWAY WITH ALL OUR TOYS AND EMBRACING THE POLITICS OF NOMADIC HEARDERS AND FARMERS???

Sorry folks, I do tend to carry myself away.

for all you dreamers, there is always the Unabomber's Manifesto......

From the Metafilter posting... In 1979 Paul McCartney asked a few friends, namely John Paul Jones, David Gilmour, Ronnie Lane, John Bonham, Kenney Jones, Hank Marvin and Pete Townshend to stop by the studio for a bit of a jam. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Rockestra.
