Paul McCartney Thought the Lyrics for The Beatles' 'Don't Let Me Down' Were 'Corny'
According to bass guitar player/vocalist Paul McCartney, the first version of “Don’t Let Me Down” featured some lyrics that “aren’t that good.” The Beatles reworked this hit song, as seen during the Disney+ original documentary series The Beatles: Get Back.
The Beatles are award-winning, legendary songwriters, creating hits “Here Comes the Sun,” “Twist and Shout,” “In My Life,” and “I Want To Hold Your Hand.” Even years after their split, The Beatles appeared on a documentary special released exclusively on Disney+.
The Beatles: Get Back offered never before seen footage of John Lennon, McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr as they rehearsed for their live rooftop performance at the Apple Corps headquarters in central London. That performance included songs “Get Back,” “Dig a Pony,” and “Don’t Let Me Down,” all of which were new songs at the time.
