Pop Culture Roundup June 19, 2006

Paul McCartney's kids and grandkids cut a special version of "When I'm 64" in honor of his birthday yesterday.

'It was such a lovely gesture that Paul couldn't help but be touched,' said a source yesterday. 'He is still pretty low but the terrible singing on the record by his family was enough to have Paul in hysterics.

'It was just what he needed.' The words were written by Giles Martin, son of Beatles producer Sir George Martin.

Sir Paul's four children, Stella McCartney and her son Miller, Mary and her sons Arthur and Elliot, James and step-daughter Heather, made the track in Studio Two - where the Beatles recorded most of their music.
