He wouldn't admit to that if he were held up at the pearly gates. Some of the rhymes are similar in the two songs, but the melodies are definitely not similar. He sings the word Yesterday but it sounds nothing like how Paul sings it.

I have never thought about the similarities between the two songs. I grew listening to Nat King Cole on the regular. This discussion has made me take a closer listen to Nat King Cole and I think Sir Paul was greatly influenced by Nat King Cole on alot of his songs even if he does not admit it.

He does do The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire), so I guess he's acknowledged it a bit. Although I guess he will keep repeating that "I dreamt Yesterday and I woke up asking everyone who wrote it" story.

Kanye West performed the song All Day at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards and censors frequently bleeped out certain words.

I saw the actually performance, a clip, not the show. It was more bleep than song. If you know the track, every other line ends with the n-word. There's a few n-words thrown in the other lines too. But the guy on the button on this way over did it. And you still heard the n-word here and there.
There had to be a sound check. If they knew they were going to have to bleep this much, they should have just said "Kanye, you can't do this song".

"All Day, African American"? Or they could have shown some artistic integrity and given the spot to Beyoncé.

Kanye has released his new album, The Life of Pablo (Pablo?), only on the streaming service Tidal. No McCartney collaborations on it.
That would be terrible if new music were only issued on streaming services.
I guess I would have to give up new music.
