When Paul McCartney Exploded

Throwback to when Paul McCartney exploded

What it means

A concert clip shows Paul McCartney singing and playing piano under blue stage lights before the camera cuts to a distant view of the stage with a dramatic burst of light and pyrotechnic effects. The caption jokingly treats the climactic concert production as if McCartney himself exploded, making the moment absurdly literal. The audio is Paul McCartney’s energetic rock performance of “Live and Let Die,” whose explosive orchestral-rock mood makes the punchline work as a reaction to an over-the-top ending.
