  • Music now for this Bonfire Night and here's Paul and Linda performing a Wings classic 'live' on Wogan back in September 1987. Sounds very Ob-La-Di... to me! Was hoping it would encode to HTML5 but didn't for some reason.
    No doubt it'll soon get 'blocked' by something ludicrous like Bollocks International Airlines Ltd etc but make the most of it whilst it's here!

      It's the music, and how it relates to the melody. The song would be just as enjoyable if he were to sing it in Swahili!

      i love a lot of his songs but like you said, many of them are quite corny. He actually recorded Mary Had A Little Lamb. I think "Bluebird" from Band On The Run is my favorite of his solo songs.

    This songs reminds me of when I was employed as a private chef for a very rich and eccentric inventor that lived on a luxury yacht docked in Lake Erie in the summer of 1991. This song came on the radio one day and the inventor asked me "Who is the man in the song? Listen to what WHO is saying what?" I quickly replied "It's you. He's singing about you. YOU are the man in the song." He thought about it for a while and then let out a loud and hearty laugh. He eventually went to prison for fraud and I think he lost his fortune at some point.
