Paul McCartney: Upload Your Cover of "Maybe I'm Amazed" and Win CDs

Hmmm...I'm not sure what would be more interesting - a band like The Canon Logic could probably do a dead-on cover or, on the other hand, one of the local black metal bands doing a complete deconstruction of the song. Anyway, below are the details of the contest.



Following the huge success of last year’s Band on the Run competition, MPL and Concord Music Group are very excited to offer fans another chance to win a host of Macca goodies with the brand new "Maybe I’m Amazed Cover’s Competition" in celebration of the upcoming deluxe reissue release of McCartney & McCartney II on June 14th.

Whether you’re a part-time guitar twiddler, a karaoke crooner or a serious music maker in a band, all are welcome! Just film your cover of Paul’s track "Maybe I’m Amazed", upload it to YouTube and follow the simple steps below to enter. Then get all of your friends to ‘like’ your video. The video with the most ‘likes’ wins! Good luck!

Follow the steps below for your chance to win:

Steps:
1. Record your own Cover version of "Maybe I’m Amazed".
2. Visit Paul’s YouTube Channel
3. Log in and submit your response to the official "Maybe I’m Amazed" music video.
