Was it the Beatles #1 all time selling single, or something like that?
Just curious...why "Hey Jude?"
He had a little rough go with it; granted, it is kind of a tough song for a 70 year old or so to sing, especially in the original key (which I'm sure he would have died rather than changed).
I always wondered kinda why he had to write "The Long and Winding Road" in E flat (is there an elevated b - flat - key on my keyboard - I have the sharp # key - see what I did there?) instead of D, but that's another story.
I actually kind of liked the orchestral interlude in that song, but whatever, that too is a discussion for another day.
Anyway, I think "Hey Jude" was cool, but maybe not the best choice.
Maybe "She Loves You Yeah Yeah Yeah.
Or maybe "Her Majesty's a Pretty Nice Girl."
I would have recommended "Revolution" or maybe "Back in the USSR."
Maybe "Across the Universe."
"Hey Jude" just seemed to me to be a little bit limited in scope in such a grandiose and auspicious environment.
