If you have about twenty minutes to spare and you are a Beatles fan, then this, going fairly viral on Facebook, will make your day. I was in tears at the end. In a good way.
James Corden has taken all kinds of musicians out for a ride on his "Late, Late Show" Carpool Karaoke segment. But not have been quite as magical, mystical — or emotional — as Thursday's drive ... with former Beatle Paul McCartney.

Since they were in Liverpool, McCartney and Corden stopped by the house where the songwriter had lived as a teenager and where he and John Lennon wrote several hit songs. The house is now a member of the UK National Trust and has been preserved as it was back in the day.
After wandering around the house and noting how the commonplace nature of it inspired his future songs, McCartney invited Corden to the "acoustic chamber," aka the bathroom. "I would spend hours in here with my guitar," said McCartney, taking a seat on the toilet.
The vignette ends with McCartney making a surprise appearance before an audience of stunned customers in a Liverpool pub where his old band used to play.
