An incredible, hilarious, and surprisingly controversial moment! This June 2010 clip from The White House Gershwin Prize ceremony features comedian Jerry Seinfeld paying tribute to Paul McCartney by deconstructing his lyrics.
Seinfeld brilliantly exposes the awkward realities of the classic songs, questioning lines like: "She was just 17, you know what I mean?" and the dark confession in "Getting Better": "I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved." This clip is pure comedic genius, proving that even a Beatle's iconic lyrics aren't safe from Seinfeld's scrutiny!
