When you’re as formidably talented as Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, even a former Beatle can’t seduce you with his star power. Sir Paul McCartney told Channel 4’s T4 program in the UK that he’d approached Yorke to record a song together, and was turned down.

“My daughter was putting an album together and she put us in touch,” he revealed. “I asked Thom to do a duet, but he said he couldn’t because he only felt happy working on his own and Radiohead’s material.”

Surely that’s some kind of landmark snub? Yorke must have changed his tune (or not fancied the proposal), because in 2000 he joined PJ Harvey on the excellent This Mess We’re In.

An example of some fine Beatles lyrics - You better leave my kitten all alone, you better leave my kitten all alone. But I told you big fat bulldog, you better leave her alone. You better leave my kitten all alone, you better leave my kitten...

That song was written in the very early sixties, cut some slack. Besides, it's fun!

Anyone doubting the Beatles' musical genius, listen to: The medley at the end of Abbey Road Eleanor Rigby (a fucking cool, also really sad song with perfectly creepy strings) and Got To Get You Into My Life from Revolver Nowhere Man or Norwegian Wood...
