That was credited to Paul and Linda McCartney.

I think McCartney’s second solo album was RAM.

So much of Paul McCartney’s non-Wings solo output predicts 80s & 90s twee and indie rock. I can see why someone born in the 1940s might not love this song, but it’s way ahead of his time and very creative. I love it. I love that Paul didn’t want to spend his whole life pretending like 1969 never ended. I like McCartney, McCartney II, and Ram better than several Beatles albums.

this track/album will always set paul apart as the beatle who really fully experimented beyond the rest.
i can imagine most people on this website wont realise this but the Mccartney 2 LP pretty much predicted a shit load of incredible music in the next few decades, people like arthur russell, ariel pink and just about anyone else recording weird pop music in their bedrooms.
long live paul!

I used to think this song was so weird.. after listening to it for like 2 times, it is actually catchy, and gets stuck in my head

You don’t have to be a “purist” to dislike this track.
But I don’t say “screw you” to you because you like this LP.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Let me be the next to say that I love this freaky song. Partially because it pisses off Beatles ‘purists,’ and screw those guys. I love the Beatles just as much when they’re goofing off. They can goof with the best of them. He was probably high as hell and having a lot of fun. The whole McCartney II album is like that, which is why its one of my fave Macca solo releases. It’s like you went back to some guy’s dorm room in college, and he played you some of his home recordings. Except the guy is Paul McCartney. It’s pretty ballsy for the guy that wrote “Yesterday” to unleash such a strange beast as McCartney II on the world. It’s a kind of private sketch book, but since he’s, you know, who he is, it got as much attention as any other record he ever put out. Actually, I think Ween got their entire career from this one album.

Let me be the first to say that this is one of my very least liked songs in the McCartney collection as well as the one of the least liked songs of all time. It scrapes like fingernails on a chalkboard. Paul admits with an ‘aw-shucks’ posturing, ‘I just made it up as I went along’. I agree. It sounds like it. The problem I’ve always had with Paul is that he has the talent and prolific gift to keep putting out the tunes – and he does without much of a care and expects us to buy it? Yeah, I know – I could also NOT buy it. Since I have been around since the very beginning it has always been my disappointment that John’s and Paul’s solo careers would frequently convey a lack of respect for the audience. In Paul’s case, to stay on point here, this song. Terrible lyrics – not the worst ever for him – but ultimately lame. ‘She can be a diplomat but I don’t need a girl like that’ etc. Ugh!
