Fun fact that you probably new: One of the contestants, Melanie, was actually the inspiration for the song, She’s Leaving Home. Melanie states she remembered hearing that song for the first time, and thinking it could’ve been written about her, but dismissed it, only to find out later it was written about her. She thought it was very coincidental that the one and only Paul McCartney had also judged her in this contest, let alone wrote a song about her.
2:48 - It's so weird to see them shake hands and think these two have met and that later McCartney would accidentally write a song about her. Fate has a way of playing with things.
@ LOL. I believe what he trying to said was. It's amazing that the song was accidentally about the same girl he met few years ago. Of course there was nothing accidental about the song itself.
I sometimes wonder about the many coincidences like this that we are not aware of. That you are unaware that as a child you stayed in the same hotel as the person you eventually marry etc. The Beatles Eleanor Rigby coincidence is the strangest. That there is a grave for a woman of that name in the graveyard of the Chruch where Paul first met John playing at the church fair. Yet he was unaware of the grave or name he would make famous.
@@daBEAGLE1017 - No the newspaper didn't mention they had met and Paul was unaware when he wrote the song. As for saying "Faul" don't be ridiculous. It's the most absurd conspiracy ever. You cannot simply replace another human being without any would being able to prove it. You have to travel on a passport, not to mention the countless lawsuits Paul had with the rest of the band. There would be no reason to keep secret about it either. It's just stupid, seriously.
@@AnyoneCanSee really? I thought that was a fake who married Lynda and Heather. And to think i was that gullible. Next thing you will tell me is that The Monkees inspired the White Album Helter Skelter with Stepping Stone. Cmon man, i know its fake.
I could be totally wrong but maybe, being an artist himself, Paul saw art as art, saw the ladies were sincerely trying to do a good job and hence, realized it was his duty or job to judge them as fair as he could.
It would be okay to do that during that era but Paul just held out his hand.... Manners... So the winner shld just be like Melanie, who just went to shake his hand... But hmmm maybe yeah, the winner can just stole for one quick peck on the cheek if she is real fast heehee...✌✌😄😄
@@_unaa_6 it’s the yellow submarine one!!! I saw other ones on the internet but they looked weird... The yellow submarine one looks the best! I love him so dang much! I actually have plushies of all of them!!!
@@_unaa_6 I can’t see your comment on here but I can see it on my notifs! I don’t have any social media but you can just search “the Beatles yellow submarine plush” on Google!
You must be blind! Paul was and still is gorgeous! We love his perfect features, especially his bedroom, hazel eyes, and his sexy lips! Eat your heart out!
"Ready Paul?" "Uh-" "OK off we go..." Wow, how rude ;P It always seems whenever I watch one of these shows with the Beatles, they get cut off all the time.
I think the swinging 60s only happened for a few people in London and a few in California. And apart from the music scene, I don't think there was much to admire about that time. The 90s was my era and it is so much better now. We had a few records or CDs, maybe a video player and a few videos. There were four TV channels and they ended at midnight. If you wanted to learn something you had to go to the library and get a book. Now you can look up anything and learn about anywhere in the world, learn a language, take virtual tours of any country or city. The access to information, knowledge and ability to learn anything or listen to or watch anything every created is mind-blowing. We had none of that. There were movies and albums I'd heard about but there was no way of ever hearing or seeing them. Art I could never see. We were limited by the very small amount of access we had to the world. Now, anything is possible and you are only limited by yourself.
Although winning, Melanie was disappointed with the signed album, other competitions on the show had offered a dinner date with a pop star, so she thought she'd be taken out by one of The Beatles. Paul's firm handshake almost broke the false fingernails she was so pleased with too. She did however get offered a year as one of the show's background dancers, so she saw many more famous performers.
This video actually contains some interesting trivia related to another Beatles song written a couple years later, Paul McCartneys left elbow (@2.40) is the same one he used to bend his arm when he wrote 'Penny Lane'
Wonderful, I've been looking for this for years. Saw it 20 yrs ago, still can't understand why paul didn't pick the dark haired girl - she's superb! You have made my day!
Nobody: Paul thinking, "Just make some bullshit judgement and get out of here. We've got more important work to do like recording and selling records."
Great clip...I think I saw this on British TV as a kid? Brenda Lee was very popular there in the early 60s. I agree with some other comments...The girl chosen seemed to have the dullest moves...but Melanie Coe was the cutest! And Paul was quite the "ladies' man"!
While Paul was doing this judging, the other three Beatles were at another set on the show, helping Helen Shapiro present her song, "Look Who It Is." See ruclips.net/video/Dw0N9oCZCdE/видео.html
@@sandra.oro66 uh oh! I think someone was missing their ex! (Or their gf, if she didn’t dump the poor lad yet during this time [🥺]) 😏 Edit: Spelling errors OOF
Yes, that's definitely true. I wonder if he has ever found out the connection. I'm sure he has and it must've been a deja vu feeling for both. Amazing!
Is that Little Miss Dynamite, Brenda Lee, on the record? Sure sounds like her, what a great voice she had. I suspect this is what Paul was doing, when the other three Beatles were helping Helen Shapiro in her video Look Who It Is.
Not the winner, Melanie Coe's fault. She was disappointed as in previous weeks with lessor stars as judges, the winner went out on a date with the judge. Melanie was disappointed that all she got was a record and a handshake.
you really dont know how much u have brought a load of memories to me after seeing that clip, i was like ;o my brother would love to see this clip but i dont know how to send it =/, cheeers man!!!!
I looked for this because I remembered the link so it's nice to see someone else spotted it. This has NEVER been mentioned in any books and it makes you wonder did Paul notice the run away story becase he remembered meeting her??? He definetly picked the cut one but she was only 14/15 making this so I'd say it wasn't flirting.
"Here's your silly prize for doing nothing. Oh, and I'll be writing a song about you on the greatest album of all time in a few years. Thanks for the future inspiration, luv."
Ha ha interviewer so tongue in cheek " you're keen on budding Brenda Lee's are you... I bet you are" like an old Sid James joke of those days. But what a remarkable story, eerie eh
The musical style of the girls reminds us of Rita Pavone. The producers of the show may have done it purposefully, I do not know ... but that seems to be a subtle reference to that singer, ahh it seems!
I read Melanie's story and it resembled a lot of what happened to me around the same age. Good providing, but strict parents, a father who worked often 7 days a week, who did show some understanding and a mother who basically showed no love or understanding at all. I too got married as soon as the law allowed, as the marrying age, without permission, had just been dropped to 18. When you marry for the wrong reasons, as Melanie also did, it was bound to fail, which it did some 8 years later in my case. If there is no or little love in a home, girls will look for it elsewhere.
This was TV in the early 60s. Trust me, I was there. This was TV’s idea of hip, cool, and groovy. The medium was ruled by the middle-aged who were trying to be ‘with it’. So more kudos to people like George Martin and Brian Epstein who got the vibe right. The LP isn’t a Beatle disc.
eeeek they did not even show her face, when Paul handed the price to her!! Eeeeet was a man's world! found that video because i just watched a beatles documentary and learned that 'she' was indeed a real person, who was leaving home then
What also caught my attention was that at the end of this clip it cuts to an appearance by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore...do you have the REST of that scene?

That is why I am here from the wiki link. Never knew that funny quirk of history.
Contestant #1 is actually my mom, and I had heard about this but never seen it. Very grateful to you for posting this!!!
God, I LOVE the Internet!
Nice, she would've been my pick!
Your mom is hot!
I doubt that. This was in Britain, she's British. We don't say mom.

Funny?! The fact that Paul didn't choose #3 isn't funny at all. Almost 60 years later I'm still not over it.

number 3 always gets me! she’s so into it! lol
As shy as I am, had he chosen me as the winner, I don't think I could hold myself back by not giving him a kiss!

I would have hugged him and never let go ☺️💙💙💙

Why did I have to be born in the bloody 1990s I WANT TO BE ALIVE IN THE 60s :'(

Look at the bright side, now you can listen to any song anywhere anytime, with your magical mystery pocket device ;)

Too cute!!!
The lyrics to "Let's Jump the Broomstick" that Brenda Lee is singing suggests she's leaving home, also. (Bye-bye!)
As a beatlemaniac this has been an awesome story, because I didn't know about this until today the beatles never stop to amaze me !!
Paul was here, the other 3 was star appearance on a Helen shaprio song 'look who it is' where Helen sings it personally to them

another incredible Beatles related story and I thought I knew everything. Such a lovely innocent film of these times. I agree with Mccartney's choice.
Se equivocó , eligió mal . La ganadora es la número 3. El sólo eligió por la belleza
yes I read something on this melanie coe as being part of a song; that genius sir paul could be inspired to write about anything.
I know #3 was a bit off in her lip sync, but the expression on her face most closely matches the rough voice of Brenda Lee, IMO.
and her dancing is also waaay better!
Funny how Melanie is miming that specific song and does exactly that resulting in She's Leaving Home.
Thats so funny, but very nice, thanks for sharing !!!

paul only picked #4 cuz she was the most attractive one

He made the RIGHT call on this, but again, this couldn't be stranger how it would evolve.

lol those dance moves were so cringy it was hard for me to watch,but if I would of won I would do more than just giving paul a hand shake 😅
the dance moves were indeed cringy hahaha
Not their fault, it wasn't a dancing contest, they mimed a celebrity.

Understandable. Longest 3 minutes of my life.
hahaha....looks like little Jane Asher
You are so right!
Desde esa época ya estaba el doble de Paul, que loco
Paul McCartney is time traveller
number 3 was fucking insane
I thought it was an audition for extras in The Walking Dead
Was this the reason Paul didn't appear in Helen Shapiro's "Look Who It Is"?
Yes that is absolutely right.
number three is now a gay lawyer. not kidding.
by the way, she should have won. she went all out.
You're preaching to the choir sister! :)
Hillarious!!
I have it somewhere on video. Will try & find it & upload.
LOL. Miming in the 1960's... today its lip synching.
Still called miming in the UK.
I thought #2 was the best. Even looked a little like Brenda Lee. Then #3 was so into it. Oh well!
Ahh Pauliiiii!!
I love him 💙💙💙
I'm guessing the LP was Please Please Me
Paul should be a judge on RuPaul Drag Race 😂👏
id be freaking out cause he said my name xD

OKG YESSS AND RINGO TOO MAYBE EVEN TOGETHER
Many years later, the girl beside Melanie Coe became Susan Boyle.
#1 & #4 were the best.

lol even if it wasnt paul.
That's a Lennon song.
No Lennon died in a bathtub at 23 and was replaced by a double named Sean Lenihan
Type in songfacts as a URL and browse for the song title... the story in her own words.

Hi Dobby. How did u get here?
Wonder where Melanie Coe is today and what she is doing.
eeeek they did not even show her face, when Paul handed the price to her!! Eeeeet was a man's world!
found that video because i just watched a beatles documentary and learned that 'she' was indeed a real person, who was leaving home then
Care to share the docs name. Sound interesting.
Where the she's leaving home story began
Yep, fun is the one thing that money cant buy.

The beauty contest was cancelled that year.
Paul showing how much his look at that time was influenced by Dirk McQuickly!
An amazing suit for the Beatles"
number 1 was yhe most attractive one!!!foo
where are the other beatles?
Getting ready to do a bit with Helen Shapiro. George gets a tad wild with it.
This show should have been called
"England's Got No Talent".
@RaggedStaffBassman I know its such an unbelievable coincidence,Amazing fact!
Song sounds somewhat similar to Buddy Holly's Slippin'n'Slidin
Come on Paul 3 was the winner.
💌👍✌️💛🥰
The girl 2cd from right was easy the best looks and moves like Brenda prob Paul fancied the other lol
This show should have been called
"England Has No Talent".
I think all four of them were good
This video proves Melanie was better off in the motor trade.
Lol
This was no coincidence. This was supposed to happen
They were supposed to help change the world.
Tik Tok was silly even back then.
So they’re basically making a tiktok 60 years before it was cool???
