McCartney 'to serenade Michelle Obama'

Sir Paul McCartney has revealed that he wants to serenade President-elect Barack Obama's wife Michelle with a classic Beatles track.

Speaking to Sky News backstage at last week's MTV Europe Music Awards, McCartney said that he would like the opportunity to sing the Rubber Soul ballad 'Michelle' to the soon-to-be First Lady.

"I hope to get the opportunity to sing... to his wife. I have a little song ready for him," he said.

Voicing his thoughts on Obama's election victory, McCartney added: "I think sincerely he is the man for the job. I think it is a legendary occasion and I wish him the very best.

"I was so 'fingers crossed' he would win it. I'm so chuffed."
