“Rocky Raccoon” is one of the Beatles’ most unusual story songs — a darkly comic Western written by Paul McCartney. But few fans know that part of its lyric was inspired by a real-life moment from Paul’s own past.
In this video, we explore how Paul McCartney’s 1965 motorcycle accident quietly influenced the writing of “Rocky Raccoon,” and how that experience shaped the song’s theme of revenge, misfortune, and irony. From Paul’s personal memories to the sessions at Abbey Road, we trace the unexpected path from real life to one of the Beatles’ most cinematic recordings.
Along the way, we look at the song’s origins, its storytelling style, and why “Rocky Raccoon” stands out on the White Album as a strange, humorous, and surprisingly human Beatles classic.
