The Beatles: Can YOU guess which Paul McCartney song John Lennon LOVED most of all?

Together John Lennon and Paul McCartney had one of the most iconic and influential songwriting partnerships in the history of music. But of all Paul’s songs written for The Beatles, do you know which was John’s favourite? Well back in 1972, the late member of the Fab Four revealed it was none other than Hey Jude.

Spotted by Far Out Magazine, Lennon told Hit Parader: “That’s his best song.

“It started off as a song about my son Julian because Paul was going to see him.

“Then he turned it into ‘Hey Jude’.

“I always thought it was about me and Yoko but he said it was about him and his.”

Lennon added: “And he came up with ‘Hey Jude.’ But I always heard it as a song to me.”

Hey Jude was released as a single in 1968 by The Beatles, while they recorded The White Album.

Julian Lennon discovered the lyrics were about him almost 20 years later.

While in 1996, he paid £25,000 at auction for the recording notes of Hey Jude.

Lennon also once revealed his favourite Beatles album to be The White Album.

Lennon made the reveal in a 1971 interview about the break up of the band a year earlier.

But his quotes didn’t see the light of day until they featured in a 1984 issue of Penthouse – four years after his murder.

Lennon claimed Paul didn’t like The White Album as he “wanted it to be more a group thing, which really means more Paul. So he never liked that album.”
