10 Biggest WTF Moments In 2010s Rock
10. Macca’s Meat Free “Rap”
Paul McCartney has had a great many extracurricular interests across his life - painting, poetry, taking enough drugs to stun a small elephant - but one that has persisted for decades is his vegetarianism.
As well as adopting the lifestyle in the 1970s, the former Beatle also had a hand in creating Linda McCartney Foods with his late wife. He is also an ardent supporter of Meat Free Mondays, an initiative designed to get people to eat one vegetarian meal once a week.
It's a nice idea, but Macca didn't do the campaign any favours when he released this bizarre video in 2014.
The Liverpool legend opens the short clip by asking people to visit a website to join the Meat Free Monday pledge. Then, out of nowhere, he bursts into what some media outlets deemed a "rap" about how people could get involved.
Calling this a rap probably sent Tupac spinning in his grave.
McCartney has done plenty of strange things over the years, but this ranks up there with the very best of then. Ultimately harmless, the Meat Free Monday "rap" caught everybody by surprise.
Hopefully it saved a few cows in the process.
