McCartney Times

Exactly 52 years after The Beatles made their historical debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, Sir Paul McCartney is bringing his musical talents to the world of emoji.Microsoft-owned Skype has enlisted the help of McCartney to create a new group of 10 moving emoticons, which Skype calls Mojis, for the mobile and desktop versions of its app. The new “Love” Mojis include characters such as Sumo Cupid, Excited Octopus, and Flirting Banana.These animated characters wiggle and gyrate to short chords of non-lyrical music or the occasional “doo dee doo deeeeee” from Sir Paul himself. They are timed to Valentine’s Day, because who wouldn’t want to receive a flirtatious banana emoji that peels off its own fibrous skin on Valentine’s Day, am I right?
