The amazing idea for Grandude came from a real-life grandpa, Paul McCartney! He used to be called 'Grandad' by his grandchildren, but one day, a grandchild called him 'Grandude,' and it just sounded so cool that it stuck! This special name reminded Paul of a song he wrote a long, long time ago called 'Hey Jude'.
