To "Hey Jude," that is. I absolutely love that song. This whole halftime show is so much better than last year's obvious lip-synching by Shania Twain, and that other thing.

Too many monkeys in the commercials this year.
I'm with you--when paul start
I'm with you--when paul started singing, i started singing! Made everything else okay for a while, including the gross pre-game military showboating. :)
schoolyard version
I thought the half-time show was kind of a dud, but maybe that's because I can't hear "Hey Jude" without singing the second-grade schoolyard version:
Hey Jude
I saw you nude
Don't try to fake it
I saw you naaa-a-ked
But then, I get a lot of songs wrong. For the longest time, I thought Freddie Mercury was singing "One-eyed, one-eyed pope," although that's not nearly as bad as my friend Mike W., who thought LL Cool J was saying, "For the rest of your life you want to be a masseuse."
What we heard wasn't what Paul sang!
Maybe it wasn't lip-synching in the technical sense but it was the same thing that Whitney Houston did several years ago with the Star Spangled Banner. We did not hear Paul singing live.
