Paul McCartney Changed the Lyrics of 'So Bad' Because He Felt Bad for His Son

Paul McCartney was just one face of The Beatles — arguably the most popular band to ever exist. And while all four of them rose to fame together, many of the songs that took the world by storm were written by individual band members. Even after the band broke up, solo careers persisted, with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr becoming quite successful in their own right.

In 1983, McCartney released his song “So Bad” — just one of many in his post-Beatles era. It turns out, though, that when performing it for his family, he actually changed the lyrics because he felt “so bad” for his son James.

For 10 years, The Beatles graced our ears with some of the biggest rock and roll songs of all time. McCartney, Lennon, and Harrison got together in 1958, but their rise to fame started in the early 1960s. After securing Ringo Starr as their lead drummer in 1962, the band found fame with their song “Love Me Do.” A life of peace and quiet was over for them from there; by 1964, they were huge. In 1970, after more than a decade of working with the band, Paul McCartney announced that he had left The Beatles.
