Paul McCartney chose to use the Internet to promote the debut of his latest single video, "Dance Tonight," on YouTube. I also have it below to look at.
McCartney enlisted the help of filmmaker Michel Gondry to direct the music video.
Along with Gondry, McCartney asked Natalie Portman if she'd like to be in the video as well, and she responded in the positive. She plays the part of a ghost in the clip, along with several others.
"The connection with Natalie came from my daughter Stella, who makes non-leather shoes that Natalie buys," said Paul. "So I rang her up and said, 'Hey I'm Stella's dad!' She had a bit of time off, as she was between films, so it was great."
The single is part of the upcoming release of his newest album Memory Almost Full, which will be introduced across the Starbucks (SBUX) store network.

It is too bad for Paul. The bad marriage and now having to sink to selling his music as a coaster for coffee cups at Starbucks. Always been a fan, but I can't see contributing to making him or Starbucks millions of dollars richer to hear it. If you can afford to pay the ex $200-million, you can pay me to listen to your songs. Give me a refund on all those 45s, vinyl Lps, 8-tracks you've made money from.
Starbucks should get their coffee act together before they diversify into selling other junk.
