Former US president Bill Clinton was treated to a musical surprise on his 64th birthday as Paul McCartney called him up to serenade him.
The Democrat was delighted after picking up the phone to hear the former Beatle on the line Thursday, reports Mirror.co.uk.
And he was stunned when McCartney began an impromptu rendition of the Beatles’ 1967 love song, ‘When I’m Sixty-Four.’
The surprise serenade delighted Clinton — who was only joking when he told advisers last month that a call from the Beatles legend would be the greatest present of all on reaching the age on Thursday. But his team took him seriously. As did Macca, 67, when they got in touch.
“Sir Paul knows Bill is a huge fan of the Fab Four and instantly agreed to ring him. Well, it’s not every day you can get on the line to a former president. But Bill was even more over the moon when he heard him — and couldn’t believe it when he started singing ‘When I’m Sixty-Four’,” said a source.
