Paul wrote it.
That’s what I thought. I didn’t say anything because I thought maybe I was wrong.
Maher sucks at empathizing. How he did not see that coming I don’t know. Might be he’s getting old?
In Bill's defense, I'm sure he's not the one writing the titles of these videos.
Not true. John wrote it about his son.
@@jamesonmarley9204Then why does Paul sing it?
@@ElectricBoogaloo007
John asked Paul to sing it because it was too emotional.
Paul wrote that song ❤
What about goodnight from the White Album? John wrote it for Julian.
@@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212 and he gave it to Ringo.
@@Threeleebird Good night is a sooo underrated song.
Paul wrote it, not John
Seriously...
I thought everybody knew that. It was as much directed at Ono.
Exactly. That’s Beatles 101!
Nobody said John wrote it. They are talking about Paul writing it to cheer up the kid going through a divorce.
@@frankmarsh1159 You need to read the title of the video.
John’s looks and Cynthia’s kindness
That’s a Golden combination.
Paul wrote Hey Jude. I thought they were going to talk about Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, which is the song John actually wrote that was inspired by Julian.
That’s a myth. John wrote that song about LSD.
@@_swegs Lennon SAID on the Dick Cavett show (you can find it here on CZcams) that he wrote the song after Julian showed him a picture he'd drawn. John asked him what the picture was and Julian said "it's Lucy (one of his schoolmates) in the sky with diamonds."
@@erikkillmonger5624 I don’t know, maybe because he didn’t want to admit he was high on an illegal drug? He wouldn’t be the first. The name literally spells out LSD, Lucy Sky Diamonds, and clearly depicts an acid trip.
@@_swegs No, you don't know and it doesn't "literally spell out LSD". Three of the 6 words in the title start with those letters. Lennon, and Paul for that matter, had ALREADY admitted that they tried LSD, nitwit. So why would he be afraid to admit he was high if he was. You make about as much sense as the people who see clues in the Beatles album covers that prove Paul died and was replaced with a twin. You're all a bunch of fucking idiots. Lennon and Julian have explained the origin of that song. That should be good enough for anyone with a functioning brain. Grow up.
@@_swegs Why would John have a problem saying it? He was savagely honest, he didn't mince his words, much less about drugs. If the song had been about drugs, he would have said it. Maybe it was both, and he composed it under the effects of LSD but with the idea of the drawing of his son still in his head. The reality is that only he knows what he was thinking when he wrote it.
Julien must be so tired of being asked his opinion of Hey Jude.
I really feel for Julian and his mom. John sounded like he was very awful and abusive to them. What a selfish thing to abandon your family to just end up making a new one and completely leaving your first child behind.
You weren’t there.
Happens to a lot of us.
@@billadkins5150 He never said he was.😂
@@billadkins5150 This information has been public for a long time. No shit I wasn’t there.

Paul wrote Hey Jude not John.
No, John actually wrote it. Paul took credit.
@@jamesonmarley9204 WRONG. Go watch the beatles anthology before you talk rubbish that you have no idea about. Paul wrote it and they all separately confirm this in interviews. Stop being a troll
@@theinkspot1279
John never confirmed it because he was dead.
@@jamesonmarley9204 yes he did he specifically recalls the moment in an interview. He even recalls hearing him play it for him for the first time and John commented that he loves the part where Paul sings the line "the movement you need is on your shoulder" and how much he liked the song. Now fk off and learn your history before you spread lies
@@jamesonmarley9204 also Paul named the song Hey Jules originally and later changed it to Jude. You do realise John abandoned Julian and Cynthia and that Julian was distraught so Paul tried to cheer up his best mates son. Troll
Paul wrote the song not John.
That's not true.
@jamesonmarley9204 Yes it is. John had nothing to do with that song.
@namenotimportant8952
Not true. John wrote it. Paul took credit.
@@jamesonmarley9204 Where's your source for that?
@@jamesonmarley9204 And the earth is flat and the moon is made out of cheese.
Cmon. How could you get this wrong. Paul wrote it. Everybody knows that. Well, I guess there’s one person who doesn’t 😂
Anyway John contributed to it, specially in the ending of the song, the nah nah nah part
i like how they never changed the title despite everyone pointing out the mistake
A clueless egocentric. Typical.
His contribution was so tiny......you embarrass yourself with such weak knowledge. @@alfredodistefanolaulhe2212
Ikr?
Jude/Julian is a class act. He didn't point out several of these types of faux pas during the podcast.
He got the best of his dad and his mum. And actually turned out to become the human John pretended to be but never really was. I'm so immensely thankful that Julian understood his musical talent and used it. Don't ever let a good talent go to waste. If only John would not have been taken off his life that soon...... i'm sure both Julian and his Dad would have definitely healed up..... and most likely made music together. If only...... but it is what it is... at least in THIS timeline.
Whoever wrote this headline for Bill, really messed it up. Bill clearly knows Paul wrote it
Gen Zer who never heard of the Beatles probably.
Julian is a class act. Very smart young man. I think we all have moments when you think your father is an Ass****. I think John was at times very full of himself. I think John is the one who screwed up because Cynthia raised a very talented and very nice child.
I bet Julian would love being called “smart young man“… He is 60. 😊
Think John would have been blown away how much his son turned out like him but even better
he seems a better human being than john, which is the most we can aspire to, since talent is out of our hands, we can only do so much with what we're given, but we can be good and decent human beings
Paul wrote it yes, but for Julian
Never realized John Lennon spelled his name “Paul McCartney”.
Paul was worried about him that's what i heard on a interview. He wanted to change "don't carried the world on your shoulder "but John loved so it remained on the lyrics
Wait no no! It’s “the movement you need is over your shoulders”! John liked that it wasn’t direct
@@henryzhao4622 Correct.
Revisionist history. Lennon contributed to the song. But it was written by Paul. And Julian was 5 when his dad left...not 3.
John never claimed to have had anything to do with it and Paul just said john advised him not to change the lyrics
Christ. Here we go. It's Paul's song. And shove off with your 'revisionist history'. If you don't know the facts, don't embarrass yourself.
@@pixiewings21_9 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hey_Jude NOTHING I posted was incorrect.
Bill really needs to let his guests speak. He asks a question and then laughs and interrupts while the guest tries to answer. Bill nearly cut off the most profound thing Julian had to say about how the song reminds him of the dark days following his abandonment by John.
Maher is a master at making every interview boring.
It's his fascination with his thoughts.
Paul wrote "Hey Jude", not John!
Hey Mr. Ross How are you doing 😊
Correct the damn title of the video for Christ’s sake 🤦♂️
"the song his dad wrote for him"?? You gotta stop letting some know-nothing Gen Z staffer write your headlines for you, Bill.
The album JUDE is awesome. Julian is brilliant song writer and singer. ❤❤
I really feel it for Julian.
If you fully know his personal life history, you will fully understand . # Respect Where Respect Is Due.
The hashtag didn’t take me anywhere. You need haves the words all together with no spaces.
Had never occurred to me that that massively beautiful song could be a weight on anyone's shoulders like that, even Julian's.
I get it, though.
Paul wrote it and changed "Jules" to "Jude" for the phrasing
Julian had an amazing hit song in the 80's. I forget the name but truly great IMO.
He had a couple.
Too late for goodbyes, an incredible 80s hit!
@@juanmiranda3072I LOVE that song !!
Saltwater. Amazing tune.
Saltwater. Think it was around 1991
How do you not know Paul wrote it?
I think Bill should drink more in interviews 🤪
It really enhances his
self awareness, sensitivity to others & ability to listen 😂
😂😂😂
Is Bill saying Paul is his actual dad? Crazy!
Yes, and Paul was also the Walrus!
And John was the mother. Looks just like her.
LOL, Bill doesn't know his ass from his elbow.
@@johngalt5411That would be a confusing bathroom run.
Was Paul not John that wrote this song.
Is anyone else baffled and annoyed by the fact that Julian and McCartney never did anything...a song, a concert, even a single performance...together? WTF? It's such a no-brainer that would be so electrifying to say the least.
For mine, just a sense of regret insofar as Julian Lennon has a voice quite similar to his Dad's in timbre and tone. Hence, getting Julian to do harmonies with Paul would have sounded great because Lennon and MacCartney had great harmonies. They were Beach Boys good.
In a video-taped interview of Paul McCartney by GQ magazine (on the GQ CZcams channel, ,"McCartney breaks down his 81 favourite songs"), Paul says on tape: "John and his wife, Cynthia, had divorced, and I felt a bit sorry for their son, who was now a little bit, you know, a child of a divorce.I was driving out to see the son and Cynthia one day, and I was thinking about the boy [5 years old] , who's name is Julian, Julian Lennon, and I started this idea, hey Jules, don't make it bad, it's all gonna be okay. You know, it was like a reassurance song. So, that was the idea that I got, driving out to see them. I saw them, and then I came back, and worked on the song some more." John Lennon said in a 1981 interview with Playboy Magazine: "''Hey Jude' is a damn good set of lyrics. I made no contribution to the lyrics there." Paul is reported by many newspapers of having played his song for "everyone, and I mean everyone." He even played it at a launch party for a Stone's album -- with the 7 minute+ recording pretty much breaking up the party. Paul speaks of performing for John, but it's difficult to find any reference to exactly what was John's contribution to the music. Sony lists "Lennon/McCartney" as writers. According to "(copyright) 1968 Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC. All rights reserved, used by permission": ""Hey Jude' is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon-McCartney. The ballad evolved from "Hey Jules", a song widely accepted as being written to comfort John Lennon's son, Julian, during his parents' divorce." Paul has commented that John wasn't originally aware that the song was inspired by Julian; Lennon thought Paul had written it as an acceptance of John's relationship with Yoko Ono. Post script: (Wikipedia) "Along with "Yesterday", "Hey Jude" was one of the songs that McCartney has highlighted when attempting to have some of the official Beatles songwriting credits changed from Lennon/McCartney to McCartney-Lennon. McCartney applied the revised credit to this and 18 other Lennon-McCartney songs on his 2002 live album Back in the U.S., attracting criticism from Ono, as Lennon's widow, and from Starr, the only other surviving member of the Beatles
I agree with comments below that Bill Maher, an interviewer I admired, really missed the boat. An additional quote: Julian Lennon said. “There was some very negative stuff talked about me … like when [my father announced to the press] that I’d come out of a whiskey bottle on a drunken Saturday night. Stuff like that. You think, where’s the love in that? Paul and I used to hang about quite a bit … more than Dad and I did. We had a great friendship going, and there seems to be far more pictures of me and Paul playing together at that age than there are pictures of me and my dad.” (Washington Post)
I agree with comments below that Bill Maher, an interviewer I admire, really missed the boat. How could he have missed this from The Washington Post: "Once Ono was on the scene, the marriage couldn’t last. When Cynthia caught Lennon with the avant-garde artist at the family’s home when she returned from a vacation, it was 'Hello, Goodbye.'
'She was persistent,' Lennon also said of Ono, 'and she didn’t give up.' But the fraught relationship resulted in a song that John called a “masterpiece.” Of course, John, ever the egotist, didn’t think the song was about Julian - but about himself, encouraging him to leave Cynthia.
“'I always heard it as a song to me,' Lennon said in 1980, not long before his death. “Yoko’s just come into the picture. … He’s saying, ‘Hey, Jude - hey, John.’ Subconsciously he was saying, ‘Go ahead, leave me.'”
McCartney wrote Hey Jude... not John Lennon so... the title of this video is wrong.
Bill tends to fail on the empathy listen. How can he not vibe on the feelings wrapped up in family complications and instability?
Kudos to him for course correcting later in the clip. He has gotten more sensitive over the years and his mind and perspectives are spot on. Go Bill!
For all the comments saying “Paul wrote it” - Technically John did have a hand in helping Paul write it, even if Paul wrote the bulk of the tune. Paul has said John encouraged him to keep the line “The movement you need is on your shoulder.”
At least its a mutually agreed thing between John and Paul that they would get credits even though only one of them came up with the bulk of the song, Paul also got credited for helping John with his songs ....
What I don't like are stars who use their fame to get credited as co-writers even though they gave very little or minor inputs, you see, Madonna would get writing credits for almost all her songs just because she changed a line or edit out some words ... its so egoistic ....
John did not help Paul write it, he commented on the famous line when Paul played it for him and told McCartney to keep that line in the song. According to Paul anyways...
And that's about the extent of it. It's Pauls song,,, completely.
legend
Great Title..
His dad didn't write it ... Paul did.
Who doesn't know that???
Um, John had nothing to do with it (except for convincing Paul to keep one line, "the movement you need is on your shoulders").
Umm.....you realize Paul McCartney is not his dad, right?
Hey Bill, you got it wrong.
Take your title and make it better.
Bill, do you read books? Just curious.
"His Dad wrote for him?"
WRONG
Paul wrote it for him... Einstein
Seems like a Cool Cat , I'll have ta watch the whole , like this floor mat. Hope you do it still when you go back to the big bucks 😂 Never knew . Nice thought , I would of called it " Hey Dude " thereby inproveing it immensely
These are too short, but nice interviews.
Wait. What was the book review about?
not only did Paul write this song, but while it was inspired by Julians situation, the finished song is about Paul and Linda
Paul McCartney Wrote Hey Jude.
John wrote Beautiful Boy for his favtson Sean
But wait, how many years ago was it Bill? Your audience is dying to know if it was 1 or 2 or 3!
John didn't write Hey Jude. Paul did. John thought the song was about him though.
Paul said the song was originally called "Hey Dude"
He said it was originally called Hey Jules
Actually...it was originally "Hey, Jules".
Nope. All The Experts know that it was “hey Dude” many original documents to prove it. Don’t let MSM fool you guys
No he didnt 😂
@@namenotimportant8952 ok might be mistaken then. But surely it was Ringo then
Bill trying his very best to interrupt while Lennon blocks him with «listen».
I thought Paul McCartney wrote the song, Hey Jude, for Julian Lennon? Hey Jules!
Lifetime- is that network still around?
What a contrast on stage; ego interviews humility. Kudos for the interviewer however, for admitting his "stupidity" (and insensitivity) concerning the song, as it's perceived by Julian. Beautiful as it is, "Hey Jude" can serve as an adept example of exploiting pain for gain, particularly in the entertainment industry. Yet, in the end, the pain strengthened and transformed dear Julian; and he's 'made it MUCH better' than dad could've ever 'imagined'.
Read your moms book Julian...love her!❤
Here's an idea. Shut up so the guest can get a word in.
John got to have it both ways....he abandons his first family....meets Yoko who enables him...lets him go to LA and sow his oats during his "lost weekend"...love his music but the guy sounds like an adult child.
paul wote it i watched paul talk about to steven colbert
Talk about misinformation!
How can a title get it so incredibly wrong?
"How Julian Lennon Feels about the Song his Dad Wrote for him." Paul McCartney is not Julian Lennon's Dad.
What is going on. Who on the Planet does not know it was Paul that wrote it.
Umm, note to Bill Maher's youtube/social media manager: Paul wrote "Hey Jude," not John. Every amateur Beatle historian knows that. Please correct.
Paul wrote it. Akso, how can Billy boy be so ignorant as to not initially understand why the song pains Julian. Bill is not very in tune to sensitivity
Please correct the title of this video. John didn't write this, Paul did. Everyone knows that.
Skip Bill's blather 0:37
Paul wrote it! Not his dad. Misleading title.
Paul was a better dad stand-in.
whoever Bill has hired to run his channel, because he is not editing,coming up with the titles, I’m positive it’s not Bill, he is “the star” the title is a purposeful mistake, to get people to comment… more comments, more views, more money…
Yeah, I looked at the title of this video and I thought, I am pretty sure Paul wrote that song.
His parents like many kids screwed up high school & as was the custom, married before they even were grown up themselves...at least Paul got a hit record out of it.
It was supposed to be Hey Dude .. ?
Um, Paul wrote it.
I thought Paul wrote it and thought he was the one who called him jude
But Julien why wouldn't you love hearing a song about your parents divorce when you grew up without your father?!
Just gotta join in with other folks in the comments because a basic lack of research really boils my piss... his dad did not write the song for him. Paul wrote Hey Jude.
Thank you! 1:58 God I’m so sick of the deification of Yoko Ono and revisionist history surrounding the affair between her and John Lennon.
At first I thought you wrote "I’m so sick of the •defecation• of Yoko Ono". 🤣😂
Not a fan of Hey Jude. But love Julian Lennon.
He got the name of the song wrong, and he attributed the songwriting to the wrong Beatle, but other than Bill you nailed it completely.
No that’s Paul’s working title of the song , he never mentioned John wrote it. He was finishing a story that Paul wrote it.
Bill should have done his research.
Yes I agree with all of you. Who is the ignorant SOB who wrote The preamble / question that assumes that John Lennon wrote this song. So I am on quora a lot and I find that most of the things related to The Beatles seem to be most likely written by people who are really young who are just you can't accurately call them stupid they're just ignorant. I do applaud if they are young the fact that they're interested about a group who possibly ended before their grandparents were even born. It's hard for an act in show business to accomplish that.
Paul wrote it for julian
Did he say "ying?"
Oh my goodness get it right. Paul wrote it 😶
The average person has no clue which Beatle wrote that song. And that drives Paul's ego nuts. ,lol
Paul is not his father. Paul wrote the song.
Paul wrote the song.
Ringo wrote the lyrics, Paul mixed the track, Dave Groul played the drums on it
And the famous quote “ Bernard Purdy we need more COWBELL 😂”
@@OldSkoolUncleChris and he played the hell outta that cow bell
Paul wrote it
I thought Paul wrote it?
It's all Paul
Like you don't know Paul wrote it
It was written by Paul not John 🙄
Yoko wrote that song not John
I thought Bill knew his stuff with The Beatles 🤦
Paul wrote the song he first started writing it as hey Jules! He was writing that song for Julian knowing he was very hurt about the divorce. Paul went to see Julian to check in on him. The divorce occurred because the wife came home one dat to find John in is housecoat and Yoko in hers. John was not a good father and saw very little of Julian!
Yeah it’s a Paul song, that’s story behind it
