An incredible, candid look into the humble beginnings of musical genius! In this December 2014 Jonathon Ross Show interview, Paul McCartney reveals why he and John Lennon started writing songs.

Paul explains that in their early days, their entire act was cover songs (Little Richard, Chuck Berry). The problem? Rival bands would sit in the dressing room, listen, and then "basically do our act!" Paul confesses they had to find a "trick to defeat this," leading to the famous partnership: "John and I started writing. There was no great Muse, it was just to beat these people who knew our act." A hilarious and grounding origin story.

What is the best Beatles song that was clearly written "just to beat" the competition? Tell us! ????
