    I do. McCartney wrote the tune for a movie soundtrack (The Magic Christian) and recorded a demo by himself, playing all the instruments. Badfinger recorded it and two of their originals for the film and released a hit single of "Come and Get it" in 1969.

    In 1996 the McCartney demo was included on the 6-disk "Beatles Anthology" CD with a ton of other outtakes, demos, and oddball stuff from Abbey Road archival tapes. But was NOT a Beatles recoding session nor a Beatles record and McCartney is the only Beatle on it.

    And you call yourself trivial.

    I was quoting the words of a Beatle. Badfinger, you or I or anybody could say them, sing them or etch them in stone but they are still the words written by a Beatle

    Technically Paul did sing that line in a song by the Beatles

    Not exactly. Technically Paul sang that line solo, it was not a Beatles recording. It was a McCartney song that decades later got put on the Beatles Anthology CD because Paul owns Apple Corp. They had a 6-CD set to fill with stuff only available on bootlegs before. Lots of weird stuff on there that does not qualify as a Beatles song.
