An incredible, charming, and witty look at the birth of a classic! In this December 1992 MTV Up Close footage, Paul McCartney explains the hilarious social strategy behind "Michelle."

Paul reveals how he and John Lennon—self-described "working-class scruffs"—would crash high-society art parties. To fit in with the painters and conductors, Paul would sit in a corner wearing a black polo neck, playing a Chet Atkins-style tune and pretending to be a mysterious French intellectual to impress girls! Years later, John remembered the "silly French thing" and told Paul to put words to it. A brilliant insight into the creative (and romantic) hustle of the young Beatles.

Do you think Paul's "French guy" act would have worked on you? Tell us! ????
