Today is 72nd birthday of Sir Paul McCartney. The legendary musician and songwriter has been making music and writing hits for many decades, so there are a ton of songs we could play to honor him. Since today is a celebration, we want to focus on the more upbeat and fun songs from Paul's discography.

We want to rock for Paul's birthday, so what rockin' songs of Paul's should we play for today's 9:30 Coffee Break? (Yes, it isn't Beatle proof)

Songs Played:

The Beatles - "Helter Skelter"

Wings - "Jet"

The Beatles - "Why Don't We Do It in the Road"

Wings - "Venus and Mars/Rock Show"

Wings - "Helen Wheels"

The Beatles - "Back in the U.S.S.R."
