Paul McCartney admits he 'can't remember much' about Beatles song he wrote in just two hours
The Beatles are one of the most iconic bands of all time, but not every song that Paul McCartney and John Lennon wrote was a classic - and they admitted some were just 'work'.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote a number of hits for The Beatles, but not every song turned out so well.
After retiring from touring in 1966, the band could devote more time to honing their albums in the studio, but their early years were a whirlwind. Their record label, Parlophone, was eager to capitalize on their skyrocketing popularity by releasing a steady stream of music.
As a result, Paul and John weren't always happy with every track they wrote. Paul admitted that some songs were simply churned out just for work and ended up as "filler on albums," some of which he can't even remember much of.
Speaking about their 1963 track Hold Me Tight, he confessed, "I can't remember much about that one. Certain songs were just 'work' songs, you haven't got much memory of them. That's one of them."
