This clip is actually fake. The original lyric was "it's *not* okay to leave a dog in a hot car". Typical McCartney sentimentalism. John's contribution was the suggestion that it in fact *is* okay to do so, and the song would have more bite (no pun intended) if that were the lyric.
@@GuyDude-hk8uythe biggest tell is that no one gave a fuck about leaving dogs in hot cars back then, it was a thing that came to the greater social awareness much later
little known fact: John had just come back from the parking lot where he left his dog in his hot car. That's why he's playing with so much emotion. He was literally living the song.
for real! and the fact that he wrote this song AND get back in two separate dimensions at the exact same point in time and we have this one video to use of him creating both i mean… pure genius on pauls part.
John tried to get Paul to change the lyrics to “It’s okay to eat a hot dog in a car”. Good thing Paul stood his ground or we wouldn’t have had the masterpiece we have today.
'hey guys I had an idea for the new tune, what about it's okay to eat a dog in a hot car?' 'have you been talking to Yoko again?' 'so what if I have? she has some good ideas' 'it's not what we're about man! we leave dogs in hot cars, but we don't eat them! that's just sick man' 'it's edgy and experimental, we have to push boundaries maaaan' ''you've gone off the edge man. that j*p sk*nk has you p*ssy whipped' 'how dare you man, just for that I'm going to take a 9 minute sh*t all over the white album. It's called Revolution 9' 'whoah truce. please get her to stop ruining the band' 'I'll try man but she's pretty scary, I think she would eat me if she had the chance'
What most people don't realize is that the clip that went viral was actually a live performance from that time (hence the screaming crowds) but a studio version of the song was never actually released during that era.

I tried experimenting with leaving my entire collection of classic vinyl records on the dashboard in direct sun in a heat wave, hoping that would make them sound even better. My results were a little disappointing, but I'm going to try it again once I finish collecting more records. How will we ever learn, if we don't want to try new things?

I was walking my dog in the park the other day, enjoying the sunshine, when I bumped into an old school friend. He suggested I join him for 6 or 7 pints for a few hours. Initially I declined, on the grounds that I couldn’t leave the dog in the car in such weather.

Exactly. No one ever got hurt by this. Except for the hot dogs, but they didn't know any better it was the 60s. it was only later in the mid 90s when people realised that you actually shouldn't leave dogs in hot cars.
I used to physically remove my dog from my hot car, but no longer! Not since the RSPCA took me to court and I got banned from keeping animals, anyway...
The lyrics to their hit song "Baby You Can Drive My Car" were actually just a re-wording of a song that Paul wrote when he was just starting out. The band agreed that they needed a more approachable playlist to break into the music industry at the time, so they tweaked the lyrics and gave it an upbeat melody. It wasnt until after they earned their fame that Paul revisited his original lyrics and brought a fresh melody to this masterpiece of song writing. Such an amazing history behind The Beatles.
Paul poached this from a local songwriter who wrote about actually leaving a hot dog in his car. Pauls light bulb went off and thought about a PSA for non cruelty to animals. He knew how to put lipstick on a pig like no other.
My grandparents used to play Beatles records when I'd stay with them as a kid. This song always stuck out to me. Incredible to see their process for creating it. ❤
They were so in sync as a band that John could just show up and say "oh we're doing a number about leaving dogs in hot cars?" and just jump right in.

with friends like John and Paul these moments of musical history were common place
The early demo is so much more poignant and bittersweet...truly brilliant songwriting

I always thought this was more of a Paul song. Never believed his denials.
This song was so perfect that convergent evolution resulted in it being created by Paul on three separate occasions with no knowledge of the previous iterations.
supposedly this song is about LSD, but John said it was about a whimsical picture his son drew

Fun fact: The song was originally called “It’s okay to leave scrambled eggs in a hot car”
Solid reference.
This should have been the B-side to Now and Then.
just for the record, DONT leave a dog in a hot car.
This is a vast improvement over the early draft, “It’s OK to Leave a Pooch in a Peugeot.”
At that time the whole thing was falling apart until Paul came up with this hit. The rest is history.
this song kept the band together
