Paul McCartney Wants To Get Barenaked

Paul McCartney has had enough of one-legged ladies, but he apparently loves the Barenaked Ladies.

The former Beatle was recently asked by a London session musician who his favourite current bands were, according to Ianundercover.com, and his answer was somewhat surprising.

"A lot of the bands today are much more technical than we were," McCartney said. "But the Barenaked Ladies have to be my favourite.

"Their harmonies are right on. They could outsing us any day of the week. I don't think John and myself ever had the sort of range they do."

The article says that McCartney added that he "wouldn't mind cutting an album" with the Ladies.

Perhaps a Yellow Submarine might be in pursuit of the Norwegian Jewel when the Barenaked Ladies and their musical friends set sail from Miami, Fla. on Feb. 1 for the Ships & Dip V cruise.
