A few months back, Paul McCartney<\/a> staged a pair of intimate club shows at the Fonda in Los Angeles. A who\u2019s who of celebrities showed up across both nights, everyone from Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Olivia Rodrigo, to Harrison Ford, Jimmy Kimmel, and Macca\u2019s old running mate Ringo Starr. And by all accounts, the audience had a fantastic time, singing and dancing along as the former Beatle delivered a career-spanning set from across his six-decade career. Well, with one notable exception.<\/p>\n

As revealed on Thursday night\u2019s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Larry David<\/a> was also in attendance for one of McCartney\u2019s gigs at the Fonda, and Kimmel recalled seeing the Curb Your Enthusiasm star standing silent during \u201cHey Jude.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel: \u201cI witnessed something at a Paul McCartney concert. Two months ago, the whole audience was singing \u2018Hey Jude\u2019 along with Paul McCartney\u2014with the notable exception of one person. And who do you guess that person was?\u201d<\/p>\n

David: \u201cYou know, everybody\u2019s going, they\u2019re standing and they\u2019re swaying\u2026 and it is so lame. Okay? You think I\u2019m going to \u2018na, na, na\u2019? What kind of person do you think I am? I saw you \u201cna, na, na\u201d-ing. You didn\u2019t look very cool. I can tell you that. But I don\u2019t understand it. Why do people do that? What prompted you to \u2018na, na, na\u2019? Why would you do it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel: \u201cI just feel like if Paul McCartney is going to stand there and \u2018na, na, na\u2019\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

David: \u201cHe wrote the song. He\u2019s allowed, that\u2019s in the song: \u2018na, na, na.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel: \u201cIt seemed like he wanted us to \u2018na, na, na.’\u201d<\/p>\n

David: \u201cHe did, but you don\u2019t have to listen to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel: \u201cWell, that\u2019s where we disagree. You have to listen to him. He wants this from us. We\u2019ve given him nothing. He\u2019s given us so much. Why wouldn\u2019t you do a little \u2018na, na, na\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n

David: \u201cI\u2019ve given him a little something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimmel: \u201cWhat did you give him? You didn\u2019t even pay for those tickets, did you? You got those for free.\u201d<\/p>\n

David: \u201cYou think I would pay for that?\u201d<\/p>\n

David\u2019s new show, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness<\/a>, premieres June 26th on HBO.<\/p>\n
