Daily Show scribe Tim Carvell dreams up a hilarious memo from the NFL to Paul McCartney…
We’ve reviewed your set list and dance routine, and we have just a few notes:
“Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da”: Is there something you can say after “life goes on” that’s not “bra”? The word still makes us a little nervous around here. Thanks.
“Blackbird”: “Take these broken wings and learn to fly”? It’s a lovely image, Paul, but: Children are going to be watching this. No parent wants to have to explain injured birds to their children, especially not on Super Sunday. Can you sing around it so the bird’s wings aren’t broken? Maybe the bird could take its “bucket o’ wings” and learn to fly? KFC may pay for the product placement. Just a thought.
“I Saw Her Standing There”: “Well, she was just 17, you know what I mean”? I am fairly certain that I do not know what you mean, but I do know that she’d better be at least 18. Make that 21. Or 25. She was just 25. That works fine.
Read the whole thing here.
Also, from The Daily Show: “Doctors have upgraded Viktor Yuschenko’s condition from Edward James Olmos to Willem Dafoe…”

hipsters are sponsored. gee, why does stereogum always talk about TMOBILE SIDEKICKS…..
um, because stereogum’s fiancee got him one for chrismukkah? do you really think t-mobile gives free phones to bloggers?
ok, fair enough, it’s hard to know who’s got the right intentions these days.
Is Paul planning on singing his godawful 9/11 tribute song “Freedom”?
That “Freedom” song might be the low point in the entire history of music–from that first prehistoric jam session on skulls in a dark cave, to the next futuristic Radiohead album.
It almost makes me hate the Beatles, just for making Paul famous enough to release that sorbet of sweetened shit.
Conversely, it almost makes America not worth it.
Tim Carvell needs to keep his day job…wait…what?
Seriously, that ‘memo’ was lame.
Paul has gone all Hollywood thanks to his new wife Heather. If Linda were still alive he never would have been playing the superbowl half time show nor would he have been at every Hollywood party and event.
What made me hate him was the second that he married her and then for about two years after 9/11 he was all over every tv program saying that he saw the smoke of the twin towers and that his dad was a firefighter durring the second world war. It was quite annoying!
yeah, Carville seemed too forced. Steve Martin has just the right tone for a piece like this…and this a piece that should’ve died on the editing floor.
