After receiving the Library of Congress’ Gershwin Prize at the White House on Wednesday, Paul McCartney serenaded the first lady by singing the Beatles’ popular love song “Michelle” and then joked about how he was going to be the first guy to be “punched out by the President.”

When all was said and done McCartney performed a 90 minute concert for the first family and various other attendees.

During his performance President Obama praised McCartney for helping to “lay the soundtrack for an entire generation.”

Here’s McCartney singing “Yesterday” during the White House concert:
