When Paul and camera crew arrived at the station the staff were going to wave them through with out paying. Paul said no, and he bought tickets for everybody on his crew. He could see the headlines in next mornings papers: ''Millionaire Beatle Paul McCartney travel for free on London Underground''.
Such a feel-good video. Paul in his 40s looking great, having fun filming this video. Though I've never been crazy about "Press to Play" I really love this particular song. It's so 80s in a good sense.
Been a fan of Paul since 1982 and remember when this came out. I wouldn't fancy filming on the London Underground but look at him go - bringing fun to the masses. Really fab track too!
They were really lucky making this video in pre-selfie-era. And pre-smartphone era as well! With everyone keeping eyes on screens, the passengers would hardly even notice Paul and the crew these days )))
This is why you always carry a pen or a marker with you. The guy at 4:06 was probably kicking himself that he didn't get Paul's autograph... Until he saw the VIDEO!
How are people not mobbing him? I mean honestly. If I saw him out on a subway, I would at least be like, "OMG Paul McCartney." I wouldn't like hassle though. lol
Jake, buddy i boughht Press UK remix single in 1986. I am an old C......lol and PRESS TO PLAY album. Been chekin out george harrison alot lately. Becoming my favorite and not just Beatles. His songs are beautiful
Been a big john lennon fan all my life. Iv also been listening alot to george harrison for the last year or so. BEAUTIFUL GIRL is amazing and ballads from LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD are beautiful, tho my fav is SOMEPLACE ELSE from CLOUD9
i notice the video is available in 1080p , but is there actually a difference in quality if you play it in 480p or 1080p? i did not notice any but maybe the change did not kick in or something
While we’re on the subject of the London Underground, I remember vaguely seeing two versions of a health club advertisement on the walls of the tube. Any idea where I could find what those health club ads looked like,
Yeah, that's totally Moroder! :-D By the way, the guy at 3:16 also reminds me of someone famous, I can't figure out whom. Paul said it was great to have so many cool-looking people around.
The gall of the great man is impressive, and it's a really good song. I don't think he helped his reputation in the '80s, though, with some truly awful chat show appearances on things like Wogan. That whole thumbs-aloft persona was embarrassing even for fans (like me).
Must be a good feeling to just walk out side and make every one who sees you happy and smile. The power of a beatle
That's Sir Paul for ya❤💚💜💙💛
No wonder he was my mom's fav

This song and video clip always brings a smile to the face :-)
he's just a genius, the Beatles, Wings and so on, my God, what's next?
Can't stop watching this video.....just have to laugh at all those people when they suddenly clock him😂😂😂
why couldn't I be that lucky?? Love this video...always have!!! Such a cutie!!
He Ma, there was a dude on the tube today, looked just like Paul McCartney...
So underrated! This song with the video is just so uplifting- how can you not absolutely love it?

still better than 99.5 of the shite out there today

Then again, he might have been barraged with instant photo requests.
winni223 Wanna bet!!!!
The video is really sweet with Paul being his usual charming self.
"Oklahoma" as used in the song is a reference to the musical "Oklahoma" not just a word thrown in as some critics at the time thought.
2018 and you're still making me smile, Sir Paul😊
A good song, and a fun video.
Paul never puts this track on any of his compilations - I lurv this song, it's so eighties!
blackpeter70 yes, on "Pure McCartney"
Sooo 80's but still McCartney....Love it
Anybody notice at 2.22 the girl wearing a Paul McCartney T shirt?
YES........I didn't notice.

Oklahoma was never like this ; yeah no subways
one of my favorites..... but my all time favorite is 'Yesterday'.... still affects me the same today as it did in 1965.....
Paul hit #21 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 9/13/86. Thanks for posting it! :)
I love him 😍
Always fresh
My God..!!! Paul in the subway...!!!
TheRexmoon Who says he's not Underground.
Thanks for posting!!! I just love this video!!!
Love this
I fucking hate the tube but if Macca was on it, I would probably smile.
Love Paul.....
Is it just me or is this man going through the tunnels displaying his virility over everyone? :) Of course he has every right to..lol

that's a cute video just love him
Interesting seeing a legend scramble for a sound in 1986. It's as humanizing as it is inspiring.
*strange* he has more grey hair here then he does now...wonder how that happens...++++ ya still got it baby~
Darling, I love you very, very, very much,
And I really am relying on your touch.
But with all these people listening in,
I don't know where I ought to begin.
Maybe we could hit upon a word,
Something that the others haven't heard,
When you want me to love you,
Just tell me to press. Right there, that's it. Yes. When you feel the stress
Don't just stand there, tell me to press. You can give me what I want I must confess,
My body needs attention my mind is in a mess,
Oklahoma was never like this.
Never like this, it was never like this,
Ever like this, say was it ever like this?
Oklahoma was never like this.
It was never like this Darling, I know it really wouldn't be a crime,
If I say I want to love you all the time.
But with all these people listening in,
I don't know where I ought to begin.
Maybe we should have a secret code,
Before we both get ready to explode.
When you want me to love you,
Just tell me to press. Press Right there, that's it. Yes.
When you feel the stress,
Don't just stand there.
Won't you tell me to press?ソングライター: Paul MccartneyPress 歌詞 © Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd.
I like this video, Thanks Dude!!!
Awwwww.......
1985
Reminds me of Lessons In Love by Level 42. Just a bit.
Always thought about that, too!
i notice the video is available in 1080p , but is there actually a difference in quality if you play it in 480p or 1080p? i did not notice any but maybe the change did not kick in or something
That's probably on TH-cam's end. When I uploaded the file, it gave an HD option. I think the sound may be better quality between 480 and 1080.
UK was the best in the eighties Paul McCartney, Lady Di and Maggie Thatcher, the pop songs were a good combo
Totally Tubular!
While we’re on the subject of the London Underground, I remember vaguely seeing two versions of a health club advertisement on the walls of the tube. Any idea where I could find what those health club ads looked like,
4:13 Giorgio Moroder?? :)
Yeah, that's totally Moroder! :-D By the way, the guy at 3:16 also reminds me of someone famous, I can't figure out whom. Paul said it was great to have so many cool-looking people around.
Probably yes.
The least selling album of Paul ever?
paul hates the album and this song. understandable. yet there are 2 good songs on 'press' and one great one.
