Buzz v. Joanna: How Many Famous “Pauls” Can You Name?

Happy Birthday to perhaps the greatest living rock icon! Sir Paul McCartney turns 77 today and we’re observing the occasion with another Buzz vs. Joanna video. Today’s topic: how many famous Paul’s can we name in 90 seconds.

Paul Stanley of KISS

Paul Rodgers of Bad Company

Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant

Paul “Pee Wee Herman” Reubens
