I don’t understand that. What s...

The Beatles legend, 81, appeared to be rather taken with the six-note jingle used for the hit video gaming franchise and just one year on from its release in 1986, he hummed it back its composter Koji Kondo when he requested that he come backstage to meet him and his wife Linda. Koji had already been inspired by a number of famous songs to create the famous theme tune, including that of 'Imagine' by Paul's late bandmate John Lennon and hailed the 'Hey Jude' rocker's ability to instantly recite his work back ...
