What was the greatest Paul McCartney moment?

John Lennon, who was the main writer of the song with McCartney as co-writer, said to Playboy in 1980 that it was about an affair he was having: “I always had some kind of affair going, so I was trying to be sophisticated in writing in such a smoke-screen way that you couldn't tell.”  When asked about the title itself, he answered:  “I don't know how the hell I got to 'Norwegian Wood'"

Sir Paul McCartney: “John told Playboy Magazine that he hadn't the faintest idea where the title came from but I do.

“Peter Asher (of Peter and Gordon, brother of Jane Asher and roommate of McCartney in their house) had his room done out in a wood, a lot of people were then decorating their places in wood, Norwegian wood.

“It was pine really, cheap pine. But it's not as good a title, “Cheap Pine, Baby"…

“So she makes him sleep in the bath and then finally in the last verse I had this idea to set the Norwegian wood as revenge, so we did it very tongue in cheek. “She led him on, then said, 'You better sleep in the bath'.

“In our world, the guy had to have some sort of revenge. It could have meant I lit a fire to keep myself warm, and wasn't the decor of her house wonderful? “But it didn't, it meant I burned the fucking place down as an act of revenge, and then we left it from there and went into the instrumental.” Thank you.
