Paul McCartney/YMMV


 * Americans Hate Tingle: "Mull of Kintyre" was one of McCartney's biggest solo hits, a smash all over the world, except for the U.S.A., where it was ignored. His US label, figuring that your average American would have no idea what the Mull of Kintyre was and thus wouldn't care about the song, promoted the single's B-side ("Girls' School") instead.
 * Awesome Ego: Some might argue that this is entirely justified.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome: The joyful, ringing guitar chords that open the third section of "Band on the Run".
 * Ear Worm: A master of the art.
 * Memetic Mutation: Paul is Dead!
 * More recently, Who is Paul McCartney?, much to the chagrin and outrage of millions of music fans worldwide.
 * The Scrappy: "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time" is the Scrappy of Christmas songs.
 * Yoko Oh No: Linda McCartney is a pretty good example of the trope, especially her dubious contributions as a performer and songwriter in Wings. Her standing with the fans improved significantly following her death and Paul's failed marriage to Heather Mills.
