Paul McCartney Performs, Receives Gershwin Prize from Obama; Zings Bush (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

Paul McCartney sang "Michelle" to First Lady Michelle Obama last night during an all-star White House concert in which he received the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song at the White House -- and zinged former President George W. Bush.

"Getting this prize would just be good enough, but getting it from this president …," McCartney said, after President Barack Obama gave him the award. "You have billions of us who are rooting for you, and we know you're going to come through."

Later, after the Obamas had left, McCartney grabbed the microphone again to thank the Library of Congress, which awards the prize. "After the last eight years, it's great to have a president who knows what a library is," he cracked.

The concert, taped for a July 28 airing on PBS, performed "Got to Get You Into My Life," "Eleanor Rigby," "Let It Be" and, with Stevie Wonder, "Ebony and Ivory." He closed the show with "Hey Jude," joined on stage by the Obamas and the evening's other performers.

Those performers included the Jonas Brothers (who performed "Drive My Car"), Elvis Costello ("Penny Lane"), Jack White ("Mother Nature's Son"), Emmylou Harris ("For No One"), Dave Grohl ("Band on the Run"), and Corinne Bailey Rae ("Blackbird").
