I’ve been in a very hot and bothered mood all day.

The Beatles - When I’m Sixty Four
“Back then I wasn’t necessarily looking to be a rock ‘n’ roller. When I wrote When I’m Sixty-Four I thought I was writing a song for Sinatra. There were records other than rock ‘n’ roll that were important to me.” - Paul McCartney
“When I’m Sixty-Four was something Paul wrote in the Cavern days. We just stuck a few more words on it like ‘grandchildren on your knee’ and ‘Vera, Chuck and Dave’. It was just one of those ones that he’d had, that we’ve all got, really; half a song. And this was just one that was quite a hit with us. We used to do them when the amps broke down, just sing it on the piano.” - John Lennon
For his 64th birthday, Paul’s children recorded a special version of this song, and played it for him at his birthday party.
I look fabulous today. I did my hair. I have a new maxi dress on. My make up looks perfect. And I now I don’t have to work. I guess I’ll put that swimsuit on instead (and maybe grab a few beers at a friend’s pool).
