Paul McCartney said he makes playlists with his grandson. He shared the artists that they've added to their collaborative playlist.

Paul McCartney said that he likes to make playlists for parties, or in collaboration with his grandson, Arthur. He said that when he and his grandson work together, they come up with a solid playlist of old and new hits. McCartney shared the songs he loves to see on the playlists he makes.

On top of recording music, McCartney said that he likes to curate playlists. This is something that has brought him closer to his grandson, Arthur.

“If we’re having a party and I want a dance list, I’ll make one,” he said on his official website. “I’ve also done it with my grandson, Arthur, which has been really nice. We sort of cobbled one together; a mix of old rock ’n’ roll favourites and some newer tracks. It turned out pretty good.”

They take it seriously, even giving their collaborative playlist a custom cover.

“I’ll show him things I think will work, and then he adds to it, we’ve got a collaborative playlist,” he said. “A friend of his who’s a painter even knocked up a little cover for it.”

He shared the artists that have made their way onto the playlist.

“Because we were big friends with Jimmy (Buffett), ‘Margaritaville’ starts it all off, followed by ‘All of the Lights’ and then we go into like Daft Punk, and Tame Impala, which Arthur likes.”

He shared the other songs he might add.

“And then I’ll throw in ‘Waterloo Sunset’ and ‘Sunny Goodge Street’. Do you know ‘Sunny Goodge Street’? It’s great,” he said, adding, “It’s a Donovan song from the 60s. It’s very nice. And then you know, ‘Kiss of Venus’, Dominic Fike’s version.”
