Paul McCartney got a little more air time on the Grammys than he expected.

It all started when Ed Sheeran and ELO's Jeff Lynne performed "Evil Woman."

McCartney stood up, shook his hips, clapped his hands, and sang along to "Evil Woman" as the two rocked out on stage.

But as soon as McCartney realized the audience camera was pointed directly at him, the Beatle went into a panic and hurriedly sat down, his embarrassment palpable from viewers' couches.
