Background
[edit]Paul McCartney tried to get Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke to play on the song. Yorke later revealed why he didn’t play on the song, stating "Uhh, 'cause I can't play the piano," he added. "Not like that. I had to explain to him that, I listened to the tune – 'Mr Bellamy' – and I really liked the song, but the piano playing involved two hands doing things separately. 'I don’t have that skill available.' I said to him, 'I strum piano, that's it."[1] McCartney later mentioned his daughter wanted him to collab with Yorke, saying "[My daughter] keeps saying to me, 'Ring Thom and just go into the studio and just see what you come out with,"[2]
