The fact that Paul blushed and was embarrassed had me like oh my gosh

[TFFII]

That was LITERALLY the greatest story of all time.

[raedeankendall]

It would be, so neat to meet Sir Paul McCartney in just a normal setting. Good story!

[Nerkin]

Wow, I’m a long time major Beatles fan and I always thought it was “and if you want some fun, SING ob-la-di-bla-da”. And that made sense. Now that I know what it is I can hear it well, and I’m pretty sure it is a drug reference. That gives the song another dimension. Almost like a drug commercial. La la how the life goes on.

His Paul McCartney Impression sounded like his character in Super Troopers 2.

BEATLES TRIVIA: ___McCartney himself told this story think it's on Youtube, goes like this: Many years ago Paul knew a man from Jamaica. Every time he would see him he would say to him, "what's going on man? The Jamaican friend would always Paul, man, you know how it is....Ohh Blaa Dee ohh Blaa goes that's the story

[Beck_]

That is by far the worst attempt at a scouse accent I've ever heard!! 😂😂

[littlemissmello]

Before I clicked on the video I thought "fuck that, it's three minutes long, the story can't be _that_ great!" but it totally was.

[thegreenknight]

He sounds like a Canadian Paul Mccartney

[lucianunezvega]

De todos los actores de esa generación, Rob es el mejor que se conserva. Que guapo está.

[keonaokamailelani]

[fernandovernon]

Rob Lowe looks like a son between Steve Carell and Brad Pitt

[westiekid]

Rob Lowe Paul McCartney’s accent had a hint of Scottish in it

[MARKBUZZ]

Ob la di Ob la da.. means what follows in the lyrics...Africans say it...''Life goes on'' NOTHING to do with drugs and he doesn't sing ''take ob la di...'' He sings ''And if you want some fun, sing ob la di bla da....''

[vintageprincess]

As u can tell by my profile picture, im a huge Rob fan😂💕

[danielle]

Sam Seaborn For Congress! Paul McCartney for King!

[TT_]

Hmm, not sure about this story .. Ob-la-di, ob-la-da wasn't a reference to drugs at all, it was a toast the black London based musician Jimmy Scott, their friend, used to make at that time..

[bluesky]

So good looking this Rob Lowe ....lol...

[shaarangee]

...Bombay is west India. And no one speaks like that.
