That's what happened to dozens of people one day when Paul McCartney filmed a music video in the London Underground.
"Press" was the first single from McCartney's 1986 solo album, Press to Play. Neither the song nor the album were major hits for the former Beatle, but "Press" is a bright bit of pop that's easy to like. And it's fun to watch the reactions of the unsuspecting commuters in the video.
