Paul McCartney Is Writing Music With Bungie

Paul McCartney, whose credits include The Beatles, posted the above image along with a quote about working with Bungie on his Facebook page.

The quote from Sir Paul McCartney says, “I’m really excited to be working on writing music with Bungie, the studio that made Halo.” The man on the left in the image above is Martin O'Donnell, the man behind Halo's unforgettable score.

It's a surprising partnership, but McCartney is not a complete stranger to the world of video games. He was invovled in the production of The Beatles: Rock Band, but I imagine that whatever Bungie is currently working on, it's probably much different than a rhythm game honoring the legacy of The Beatles. As a huge Beatles fan, and huge Bungie fan, I cannot wait to find out more about... whatever this is.

I love Paul, being young even though he's actually old.

Anyone who doesn't know Sir Paul McCartney's credits should go bury their head in the sand... lol. I was seriously laughing out loud (whose also known as lol) about the "... whose credits include The Beatles".

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!! This is probably one of the best things to ever happen, ever.

Never thought this would happen. Honest.

Yellow Submarine would the perfect Halo song. So much drama.

Sir Paul McCartney! You have our attention.

I thought he got shot?
by YouInfectMe Saturday, July 07, 2012 at 11:54 AM

Lol, I just saw this on facebook and came here immediately to see if you guys had any news on it. Guess you're just as informed as I am :). This is really exciting news!
by mexicanwarrior62 Saturday, July 07, 2012 at 11:57 AM

Well,this sounds interesting..
by Arkhammoved Saturday, July 07, 2012 at 12:05 PM

Awesome! I love McCartney and The Beatles, but the sentence "Paul McCartney, whose credits include The Beatles" seems a little... casual. How about "Paul McCartney, Beatles frontman who revolutionized rock as we know it." Yeah, lets go with that.
by Darth-Carbonite Saturday, July 07, 2012 at 12:05 PM

I did not see that coming, what a pair!
