When you're Paul McCartney, every door opens for you — unless it's the entrance to rapper Tyga's Grammy afterparty at Hollywood's Argyle nightclub. In that case, you're denied access while TMZ captures the whole embarrassing affair on camera.

McCartney and pals Beck and Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters are seen on video breezily walking up to the club Monday night, figuring they would be ushered in by the bouncer. The musicians may have more than 30 Grammy Awards between them, but they also had zero invitations to the party, and were not welcomed inside. McCartney took it in stride, jokingly asking, "How VIP do we gotta get?" before turning to his friends and announcing: "We need another hit, guys! Work on it."
