DJs began playing the live version and it was that which hit number one. Paul & Linda are the only people in the video and play all the band members roles (Paul adopted the looks of, Buddy Holly, Frank Zappa and Ginger Baker among others and also a 1964 Beatle version of himself. It was a number one hit in the UK for two weeks from the 31st May 1980.
