Beatles fans know the lore: Paul McCartney's tune "Yesterday" came to him in a dream and he sang nonsense lyrics about scrambled eggs when he woke up to remember the tune. Not too shabby for a song that became the most widely recorded song in pop music history.

But you've never heard it like this. Mad props to Jimmy Fallon for getting Sir Paul to duet on the tune with the original lyrics, not to mention some bonus waffle-fries wordage! 

Hilarious! It'll be interesting to see if McCartney can top himself when he guests on tonight's Saturday Night Live.
