Skype now has animated emojis, with music by Paul McCartneyFeb 11(AZINS) One half of the world's most successful song-writing partnership has put down his Hofner bass and picked up his computer to help Microsoft spread some love this Valentine's Day.

Sir Paul McCartney is one of the most famous, successful, revered and respected singer-songwriters in the history of pop music. Therefore it's not surprising that, when he was approached by Skype to write music to accompany its animated emojis - Mojis - he was initially hesitant. "But then I thought, ‘Yeah, why not?' It's something fun, something nice and new," he said.

The result is a set of Skype Mojis conveying that most powerful of all emotions - love - just in time for February 14 and with music from none other than one of the Fab Four. Skype users will also have an access to short clips from TV shows and movies, handpicked by McCartney, that can be added into a Skype chat. You can read more about it on Skype's blog post here.
