There are so many things that were done different with this song, like it s the first time only one

It s time for another walk down Beatles memory lane with Chiefs pitching coach Greg Booker.  If you ve just joined us, Booker chooses a song each week and details the history and his view of the tune .
Jason Benetti:  As you think about the lyrics, had it been Scrambled Eggs we can t know I m gonna go ahead and doubt it would have been the most-covered pop song in history if it were named after a breakfast food.
There are so many things that were done different with this song, like it s the first time only one Beatle basically played on the recording.   The other ones are usually world travel in there on something.  It s Paul and his acoustic guitar.  Paul wrote it, he sang it, he played it.  On the credits, as they did everything, they still credited it to Lennon/McCartney and there was a time back when they were doing the anthology that Paul approached Yoko about changing this particular one to McCartney/Lennon but she would have none of it.
Paul and Michael Jackson did a couple songs together and something came up with Paul wanting Yesterday put on something Michael Jackson was doing.  The conversation turned world travel to Paul explaining to Michael Jackson how important it was to own publishing world travel rights.  Michael pulled a quick one on him and outbid him for the publishing rights to all The Beatles tunes.  That strained their friendship quite a bit.  This was after Paul was trying to give him a lot of advice on how important it is to own them.  At that time, Paul didn t even own Beatles stuff and Michael world travel Jackson bought them.  It s kind of a shame that you have all these songs that they don t even own the publishing rights to.
Booker:  I guess Neverland Ranch owns em.  John was very jealous world travel with this song.  It was such a big song.  Paul did it all by himself.  When they were spatting in later years, John came out and wrote this song called How Do You Sleep.   It s a bash on Paul.  One of the lines is, The only thing you ve done is yesterday and since you ve gone, you re just another day.
