All right, so what do you do if you come into work an hour before everyone else and you have nothing special to do while you wait. You:
- grab some coffee and flirt with the co-worker down the hall,
- go outside for a walk,
- call your friend on the phone or spend the hour texting or playing on the computer,
- you prepare a complete demo of a song you've written by playing all of the instruments yourself before your co-workers arrive.
Paul McCartney then gave "Come and Get It" to Badfinger, and they recorded it. Badfinger basically was a group that Paul put together in order to record "Come and Get It" and a couple of other songs that he was writing for a motion picture ("The Magic Christian"). Badfinger got their first top ten hit with "Come and Get It." Basically, "Come and Get It" made the group, and they re-used it in 1978 to get another recording contract. Just all in an hour's work for Mr. McCartney. Incidentally, according to a recent Rolling Stones article, Paul McCartney still goes to work at Abbey Road Studios early each morning when he's working on a project and gets right down to business just as he did in 1968.
