Paul McCartney and "Scrambled Eggs"

Another great show biz piece from Mark Evanier’s blog, newsfromme.com:

The other night, Jimmy Fallon had on something that's worth watching. As you may know, composers often write "dummy lyrics" to a song just so they can remember or refine the melody, then they go back later and write (or have a lyricist write) the real lyrics. Fallon had Paul McCartney on and in what was of course a planned, agreed-upon moment, asked him to sing the dummy lyrics to "Yesterday." I believe the lyrics to "Scrambled Eggs" only ran a few lines so someone — probably not Sir Paul — extended them into an entire song. Funny moment...
