This clip is actually fake. The original lyric was "it's *not* okay to leave a dog in a hot car". Typical McCartney sentimentalism. John's contribution was the suggestion that it in fact *is* okay to do so, and the song would have more bite (no pun intended) if that were the lyric.

What most people don't realize is that the clip that went viral was actually a live performance from that time (hence the screaming crowds) but a studio version of the song was never actually released during that era. It's okay to leave your dog in a hot car was one of two early sixties beatle songs resurrected during the get back/let it be sessions (the other being the One After 909) and was only officially released on that album.

I was walking my dog in the park the other day, enjoying the sunshine, when I bumped into an old school friend. He suggested I join him for 6 or 7 pints for a few hours. Initially I declined, on the grounds that I couldn’t leave the dog in the car in such weather. Spontaneously, he burst into a beautiful acapella rendition of this song and my heart exploded with emotion. I stowed Max securely in the Range Rover, then sauntered into town and got leathered. My wife collected Max the following day and confirmed he was absolutely fine, just tired. Thank you Paul for everything you taught us 🙏

The lyrics to their hit song "Baby You Can Drive My Car" were actually just a re-wording of a song that Paul wrote when he was just starting out. The band agreed that they needed a more approachable playlist to break into the music industry at the time, so they tweaked the lyrics and gave it an upbeat melody. It wasnt until after they earned their fame that Paul revisited his original lyrics and brought a fresh melody to this masterpiece of song writing. Such an amazing history behind The Beatles.
