"Weird Al" Yankovic has revealed that Paul McCartney didn't approve his parody of "Live and Let Die" because the funnyman wanted to rename it "Chicken Pot Pie." The vegetarian McCartney didn't care for the meat-based title.
Yankovic tells ESPN's podcast "The B.S. Report," "He didn't want a song used in any context that would be supposedly promoting the consumption of animal flesh ... It's a valid reason and I get it. And I hate it when people put him on the list of humorless guys, because that wasn't the case at all. In fact, he said, 'Think of any other subject and I'm happy to OK it.'"
Yankovic has famously spoofed many well-known songs during his career, including "Beat It" by Michael Jackson and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit." and Lady Gaga's "Born This Way."
