Who said this:
The answer is Sir Paul McCartney.
He was invited to the White House East Room to receive the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song and he gave them a concert. The background on the above quote is his serenading the First Lady with his love song, "Michelle". Paul McCartney has a great sense of humor.
(here's a story about it Chicago Tribune)
Thinking of music and lyrics, Cheeseboy has a post using 80's song lyrics and titles (check it out here).
A year ago I wrote a post based on song titles. It's a fun game to play. Here's a piece of it:
Get Back, Eli's Coming so don't be The Fool On The Hill and bring Something like Joy To The World.
Don't Let Me Down.
We've Only Just Begun.
Now, I'm So Tired. So let me know your opinion.
Maybe, I Started a Joke. Your opinion is important Because, You May Be Right.
Don't Pass Me By.
Good Night.
It's Still Rock And Roll To Me.
"first guy ever to be punched out by a president."Well, instead of getting punched out he was given an award by President Obama.

I play the Beatles all the time at our house. It never gets old.
Very cleaver post!
Happy weekend,

When I was a kid the local radio station would do an entire fictional story at at key points in the dialogue fill it with song clips
That sounds like a fun gig for Sir Paul. He sure has lived quite a life full of love and pain and music. I would call his life a full life that's for sure.
I did a similar thing with a post last year: At the Hop if you're interested. Looking at it now, it could be improved with a bit more (a lot more) imagination.
Maybe you oughta have a clown contest.
I can never remember song titles.
yes I remember whole stories made from pieces of songs. I wonder if any of them are around on the web. thanks
I like Sir Paul - Cool guy :0)
I wonder if my son knew about this "news". I'll ask him shortly.
I remember lyrics but not song titles, but you did it so well.
I've met Paul and he does have a good sense of humour, I'm a big fan of the songs too. I'm out of touch I didn't know he was serenading Michelle (who is trés belle indeed)
you and oceangirl both say you can't remember song titles. I would not be able to do this without the internet. I think every song ever written is up on the internet somewhere.
thanks
