Paul McCartney says the original title for 'Yesterday' was 'Scrambled Eggs' as he struggled to find a 3-syllable word to fit the theme

Paul McCartney provided a breakdown of how he constructed the song "Yesterday," one of his most famous compositions for The Beatles, in an excerpt of his forthcoming memoir published in The Times of London.

The 79-year-old wrote that he woke up one morning in his former girlfriend's home with the melody for the song stuck in his mind, and he immediately turned to the piano in the room to memorize the notes.

"I just had this tune, and I now had some chords. And to solidify it in my memory I blocked it out with some dummy words: 'Scrambled eggs, oh my baby, how I love your legs, scrambled eggs.' Using dummy lyrics wasn't something I did a lot. It was a rare thing," he wrote.
