McCartney was a good melodist and a consummate professional in his post-Beatles career, I'll give you that, but then the same can be said of Abba, a latter-day Fleetwood Mac and the Backstreet Boys' team of songwriters. A good hook and a hummable tune is not enough sometimes. The difference is Paul was capable of so much more.

Didn't he once accidentally sneer his face off?
