It's all come back to haunt him!!

Actually, thinking about it sensibly, I know that a lot of youngsters like him, but the majority of his fans must be over 40. Where are they most likely to hear music? In the supermarket, and shopping mall!!

Macca is a nickname, because of the Mac part of his name. Steve McClaren (ex English football manager) was/is also called this (by the press at least). Don't know if it existed before Paul. Anyone know?

Paul McCartney has been affectionately known as Macca for years. And it's easier and quicker to type! :)

I've asked around my english workmates and had a quick look through the net, and it seems Macca (as a nickname for a Mc... person) is quite recent - last 20 years??? The term might have been coined for Paul and spread from there.

I have a feeling that it's a Liverpudlian nickname. He's probably had it all his life. I've certainly never heard a Scotsman, for instance, called Macca.

Nah its used up here also just easier than shouting someones full second name.

frank mcavennie gets called macca.

infact ive heard a good few people say you going to macca's being mcdonalds :D


anyways back on subject, dance tonight is a really awful tune and the only redeeming thing about it for me is that its only 3 mins long

i love most of maccas output and i would say it is one of his worst.
