Junior's Farm is one of those songs that immediately will turn your bad mad into a wonderful mood. Only Paul McCartney can throw together a bunch of nonsensical words and end up with a masterpiece.
It's actually loosely based on their time recording in Nashville early in Wings. But, yes, masterpiece. (Junior owned the farm/studio and the poker man was one of the guys assisting)
@@impassable Cevin Soling, Writer, Filmmaker, Beatles and New Wave scholar Answered April 27, 2020 · Author has 54 answers and 90.2K answer views "Junior’s Farm was released in October of 1974 , which means it was written around the time when Nixon resigned. Nixon was especially unpopular among the counter-culture who resented him for Vietnam, Kent State, and his anti-hippie stance in general. The lyrics that precede are: At the Houses of Parliament Ev'rybody's talking 'bout the President We all chip in for a bag of cement A common method of execution by the mob at that time was to place their victims’ feet in cement and toss them in a river or lake where they would sink and drown. In this instance, McCartney is referring to preparing for, symbolically, taking out Nixon. As a side note, just, because someone does not understand the meaning, does not make it a nonsense lyric."

Paul is 82 now. I dread hearing the news that must come one day.. His was the kind of genius that comes along once every few hundred years. . Anyone who has ever tried to write even one "pop " song can only marvel at the things he did.
This song is 40+ years old and I never get tired of hearing it. The measure of an iconic song? It sounds just as fresh today as it did 40 years after it was released.
i saw a show recently called the Repair Shop on the BBC. a young lady arrived with dilapidated gold disc , she was Jimmy`s niece and it was the gold disc for Wings Over America. they did a splendid job on it, good as new, and she was delighted to be able to take it back home to show all of the family in Scotland .
that's because paul basic'ly showed him what to play, most likely, just like with the drummer, etc.: paul never needed a band, but used bands well, nonetheless
Bloody unbelievable , 50 years this month and still the best rock song ever . Just such a fabulous group of singer musicians . My all time favourite wings song

It's amazing how many amazing songs one man can create, so many, but this is one of my favorites of his. I think this is one of the more under rated rock songs of the 70's. It's got an awful lot of feeling in it. And some awesome guitar. Stylistically very cool and unique song.

Paul McCartney and wings, never underrated. They were successful from start to finish. Uncle Albert, My love, band on the run, silly love songs, listen to what the man says, someone's knocking at the door, Junior's farm, Jet, with a little luck, etc etc etc...
@Jameson SeronoI think he means underrated in the sense that you hear their other songs like Band on the Run, My Love, and With a Little Luck more frequently on the radio.
A great Rock song written and sang by one of the geniuses of Rock and Roll. Both the iconic 'Band On The Run' and 'Junior's Farm' were released in 1974 as singles and I still have both 45's. 'Jet', was another hit on the 1974 album of 'Band On The Run.' If time could only stand still for the great Rockers of the Greatest 4 Decades of Rock & Roll. !950's, 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. There will never another Rock & Roll era to even compare it to.
Band On The Run, the song, and Juniors farm were from two different planets. BOTR was neutered bubblegum, where Juniors Farm kicked some butt. The majority of his solo stuff was pretty syrupy.
@@philiptucci2458 Did Satan inject the illegally substance into his body as well or did he willingly seek out the drug dealer who exchanged the heroin for the cash he was offered?
The band rehearsed the song several times in Curly Putnam Jr's garage during those hot summer days in Tennessee in 1974 when air conditioning was rarely used . I learned this information from Dan Ealey who was there hanging out with Wings at the time .
Imo it was paul's biggest mistake to put Linda on stage. She didn't rock, she was not a musician, and her presence severely pissed off fans. The rest of the band didn't want her on stage either.
I was never a fan of Pauls solo stuff,and I was never a real big beatles fan but THIS song lights me UP!! A great pure rock and roll kickass tune!! Yeh,I guess Paul is a real rocker.
SO WAS THE REST OF THIS BAND I LIKE THEM BETTER THAN THE BEATLES I LIKE EARLY BEATLES STUFF BEFORE SERGEANT PEPPER JIMMY MCCULLOCH WAS LEGEND IS A LEGEND GORGEOUS MAN HE WAS WHAT A DISGRACE HOW HE DIED AND IT ONLY 26 YEARS OF AGE DENNY LAINE GORGEOUS THE DRUMMER WAS GREAT ALSO AND SO WAS WHEN THEY BROUGHT JOE ENGLISH INTO THE FOLD FROM THE UNITED STATES LIKE I AM FROM LINDA WAS NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE SHE'S VERY UGLY HEAVY MAKEUP HERE VERY PLAIN UGLY LOOKING WOMAN LOOKS LIKE THEM CRACK HOSE THAT YOU SEE IN THE 90S SHE GOT LUCKY MARRIED PAUL HE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER THIS PAN IS PHENOMENAL YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS
Ana Parada put those claws away. You couldn’t be more catty if you tried. Linda was a good looking woman but beauty isn’t just on the outside. Linda & Paul loved each other & most people except you love them both. I’m sure you know the saying “if you’ve got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.
The song is based on true events that took place at an actual farmer's farm whose nickname was Junior ..the farm is located outside of Nashville Tennessee in the town of Lebanon...... Brilliant guitar virtuoso Jimmy RIP
Been to the farm and my father Dan Ealey spent 3 weeks with Paul and wings at that farm in 74, the owners name was Junior Putman . Hard to believe but its true, look him up.
It wasn't a farmers farm, it was Curly Putmans farm. He is the writer of the song Green, Green Grass of Home and co writer of the most famous country song ever written, He Stopped Loving Her Today.
I also love the Beatles but not at first. I was into R&B and 'doowop", but it was Rubber Soul that first converted me. Then Revolver followed by Sgt Pepper's converted me forever. Then through McCartney and Wings, the rest is history! BTW, I still love doowop too.
one of my all time favorite songs Paul did in his entire career, I personally thought he was at his best with the Wings, despite this song reaching #3 on Billboard the radio stations hardly seems to play this song on the radio.
Interesting...I disagree but I admire you for thinking independently (I'm sure you know most of the world disagrees with you). I DO think he was a better SINGER in the 70s than 60s but I think he was a better songwriter in the 60s. Not that I think he wrote terrible songs after the Beatles but the Beatles songs are the ones he'll be remembered for 200 years from now, imo.
Lynn Turman I wouldn't be surprised if most of the world would disagree with me, I'm sticking to how I feel rather than agree with everyone, I don't like Paul's work from the 80's very much though, I can see why many people would remember Paul when he was with the Beatles
My take is Paul was GREAT in the Beatles, and only just "very good" after that. Personally imo I think he did some great (uh...I mean very good) work in the 80s, and the 90s, and the 2000s (recently bought his latest "NEW" & thought it had some "very good" songs on it.) His work since the 60s & 70s isn't #1 with a bullet but imo its still really good. Tug of War, Off the Ground, Fine Line, Sing the Changes...just a few of the "great" songs he's done since the glory years...And there's a lot more. Believe me, just scratching the surface...
This song was about my friend's family farm. Junior AKA Curly Putman (my friend's father) a notable Nashville producer/songwriter who wrote or co wrote "He Stopped Loving Her Today and Green Green Grass of Home". Two country anthems. Paul Linda and Wings stayed on the farm in 1974 when they were recording this song.
@@Bella-nt7ec There is a site on facebook titled Paul McCartney and Wings at Junior's Farm. Those are pictures of old friends of mine. Most of us were asked to stay away so Paul could have his privacy. We followed orders but I wish I had crashed the party.
Magnificent Masterpiece, Paul is a musical genius, great music & memories of life, solid gold standard of excellence, top of the line music for over 50 years, Linda was absolutely beautiful and talented, legendary performance
LOVE this one. I remember 1st time I heard it, driving thru NY, on way to new home in CA, with my new wife. She was driving our 71 Camaro.... nice memory.
Greetings let's not forget the rest of the band they're all legends the drummer Joe English came on board later on he was a drummer from Rochester New York.... Let's not forget the legend guitarist prodigy Jimmy! He was gorgeous to boot....may he rest in peace
@@anaparada7219 Funny, You mention Joe here. A, very good Friend of mine knew Joe and joined the Band, He left to go w/ Paul. Around the same time ,I had known the Mgmnt. That was going to represent Wings . They told Me to make a Tape ,to send . I did ,I used a Guitar plyr. That ended up w/ Mick Jagger and Kid Creole. I always thought Joe was English until Jack told Me the story . Very small World then.
@@DYNODRUM greetings from the great state of Arkansas is it's a little girl in all this music came outJimmy McCulloch stands out in my mind of course and all the other bands he was in with his brother Jack who was a drummer so whatever happened to Joe English I'm guessing he's back home in Rochester living in New York he looks very different now from a picture I seen of him..... He never got creditthat he deserved as a drummer and as a person in this business is no good it's very fickle field of druggies losers and users where were the McCartney's when Jimmy McCulloch had his drug problem they did nothing to help him disgrace he was only twenty-six years old in 1979 when he passed away Jimmy was gorgeous Beyond and what a talent phenomenal they were all just did that he wanted he could have done better Jimmy that's forshould have let Jimmy get more credit and do more solos in and songs and everything the Paul McCartney has to have the spotlight of course they're too selfish and self-indulgent and that wife of his she was okay but just kind of odd and not that great of a human being either she wasn't ugly but she wasn't beautiful either...add Jimmy not become famous he probably would have been alive todayhis brother Jack looks very similar he still alive today with his wife Annabelle I believe they had children God bless you and yours
I hear songs by Wings and I am transportated right back to high school. I never thought myself as a big Beatles fan, they were my older sister's favorite, I thought of myself more of Wings fan.......after all I WAS in high school, that is until I found my old Ipod. (1st generation) After it was finally charged, I found several, no many, many Beatles songs on it, as well as Wing's songs. It is filled with 60's, 70's and 80's songs. My childhood is contained on an Ipod. It's a treasured possession. This song is on the Ipod (of course) and had the 5 star rating, as did all the Beatles songs. Guess after all I am a big Beatles fan. Oh, to go back in time and hear these songs when they first played on the radio.........
I know it may sound crazy to ya but this is one of my favorite songs of all time. always makes me smile and that's gotta be worth something. so simple are the lyrics they become genius....
This so great on so many levels. First and foremost, the tune itself, minus any visuals, still stands up. Now, add to that the wide angle / fish eye lens, the cheesy, cheap-ass visuals effects (which were mind-blowing at the time) and the fact that Linda looks like David Bowie - it all adds up to a great experience. Paul is in his prime and the tune just kicks ass! Music Videos before MTV!
+Jeff Kramer HOLY CRAP, you're right! JUST LIKE Bowie!! Seeing this now vs. back in the day, when the screen flashed neon pink, I was wondering if I wasn't having a stroke! ;-)
+mrlafayette1964 Are you kidding? Have you heard the isolated track from the live performance of Hey Jude? She had no real talent, none, not as a musician or singer. She knew this herself and was under no delusions about it. She was probably a very nice person, but talented? No.
First heard this on his all the best hits cd in 1988. As a young kid I remembered hearing most of his big hits in the 70s on the radio. Missed it the first time around. Very catchy song.
@wildenfree1 - Ole Nancy is from Edison, NJ and was part of a trucking company who was friends with a friend of mine Rudy arrested with Matty the Horse....LOL....she was always a piece of a$z....
This song gets stuck in my head a LOT!!! Just out of the blue, there it is, for DAYS!!! What a masterpiece! No one should ever doubt the musical genius of Paul McCartney. Add to it, the incredible musicians he hand picked, because he saw the greatness of each one.
What a perfect song! Paul McCartney, to me, is finally the day when music takes shape, form and fashion. For me, when I think of the face of music, how can I not see the face of Paul McCartney? Superior that the queen knighted him. What an honor!
Greetings from the great state of Texas I was 14 when Jimmy passed away his brother Jack was a great drummer and they both looked a lot alike terrible disgrace how Jimmy passed away it all could have been avoided the McCartney's and Jimmy's family should have helped him to disgrace Jimmy was gorgeous so is his brother and Denny Laine of course the drummer was great however when Joe English came on board the band sounded a lot better Joe English was a phenomenal drummer underrated band should be inducted into the Hall of Fame

@Jameson SeronoI think he means underrated in the sense that you hear their other songs like Band on the Run, My Love, and With a Little Luck more frequently on the radio.
Legendary Masterpiece from Paul McCartney
This is incredible. Transcends pop and rock.
Brilliant. McCartneys driving bass makes the song.
Does anyone else wish Paul could’ve been frozen in time so he’d never get old or at least hit the pause button?
A great Rock song written and sang by one of the geniuses of Rock and Roll. Both the iconic 'Band On The Run' and 'Junior's Farm' were released in 1974 as singles and I still have both 45's. 'Jet', was another hit on the 1974 album of 'Band On The Run.' If time could only stand still for the great Rockers of the Greatest 4 Decades of Rock & Roll. !950's, 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. There will never another Rock & Roll era to even compare it to.
I respect your opinion but mine would be 60's, 70's, 80's, & early 90's.
Band On The Run, the song, and Juniors farm were from two different planets. BOTR was neutered bubblegum, where Juniors Farm kicked some butt. The majority of his solo stuff was pretty syrupy.
I don't think so my love and beware my love though on different albums were his best hits
Me I still dig it in 24. JR McKinney. Glad I'm still here to enjoy it.
R.I.P. Jimmy and Linda
!¡!!!!!! ?
SeniorSparky66 And Junior.
🌹Cancer is a terrible disease.RIP.
And now Denny
That's just a kickass rock & roll song.... very underrated... one of Wings best songs!
No band never sounds like the wings 70.s baby 😮😊!!!!!!
I used to sing this song at the top of my lungs when I was a kid! I miss my childhood :(
Ysabel Cluver me too :(
me too and I could hit that last crescendo at the end !
I was right there with ya!!
Blink182Tomforever then why the fuck are you listen to Blink 182 when you should be listening to cheap tricks first record
Keep singing
Jimmy McCullough was a young guitar virtuoso until his untimely demise at age 26. He was on his way to becoming a star.
Had he stayed with wings who knows might've lived. What a damn shame
How did he die?
@John C thank you never knew
The poison of Satan killed Jimmy
@@philiptucci2458
Did Satan inject the illegally substance into his body as well or did he willingly seek out the drug dealer who exchanged the heroin for the cash he was offered?
Goddamn I have loved this song for more than 40 yrs!
More McCartney genius!
Love this song 1st time in... '73?
My favorite Wings song. Some great guitar playing. Really tight band. Paul and Linda McCartney really know how to rock.
The band rehearsed the song several times in Curly Putnam Jr's garage
during those hot summer days in Tennessee in 1974 when air conditioning was rarely used .
I learned this information from Dan Ealey who was there hanging out with Wings at the time .
Imo it was paul's biggest mistake to put Linda on stage. She didn't rock, she was not a musician, and her presence severely pissed off fans. The rest of the band didn't want her on stage either.
His bass just powers this great tune
It's amazing how many amazing songs one man can create, there are many, but this is one of my favorites.
forgot about this great rock tune my Dad was a sales rep for capitol records through the 60's always been a Paul McCartney fan
Every time I listen to Junior's Farm about 5 times in a row, I get the urge to listen Magneto and Titanium Man next a couple of times.
@@lindadee2053 me too !
Being from Tucson, I might be a touch partial to Linda. She's looking lovely and singing proudly! Miss her 💙
Simply one of the best rocking singles of the 70’s by one of the biggest groups of the 70’s....enough said!
One of Paul's greatest!
Fantastic rocker from 1974 !!!
I was never a fan of Pauls solo stuff,and I was never a real big beatles fan but THIS song lights me UP!! A great pure rock and roll kickass tune!! Yeh,I guess Paul is a real rocker.
SO WAS THE REST OF THIS BAND I LIKE THEM BETTER THAN THE BEATLES I LIKE EARLY BEATLES STUFF BEFORE SERGEANT PEPPER JIMMY MCCULLOCH WAS LEGEND IS A LEGEND GORGEOUS MAN HE WAS WHAT A DISGRACE HOW HE DIED AND IT ONLY 26 YEARS OF AGE DENNY LAINE GORGEOUS THE DRUMMER WAS GREAT ALSO AND SO WAS WHEN THEY BROUGHT JOE ENGLISH INTO THE FOLD FROM THE UNITED STATES LIKE I AM FROM LINDA WAS NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE SHE'S VERY UGLY HEAVY MAKEUP HERE VERY PLAIN UGLY LOOKING WOMAN LOOKS LIKE THEM CRACK HOSE THAT YOU SEE IN THE 90S SHE GOT LUCKY MARRIED PAUL HE COULD HAVE DONE BETTER THIS PAN IS PHENOMENAL YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS
@@anaparada7219 Sounds to me like you're just jealous of her.
@@anaparada7219 Do you know how to stop and then restart a fucking sentence????
Ana Parada put those claws away. You couldn’t be more catty if you tried. Linda was a good looking woman but beauty isn’t just on the outside. Linda & Paul loved each other & most people except you love them both. I’m sure you know the saying “if you’ve got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.
I love Paul’s bass on this!😄
It's the whole song, really. The non sensical words prove you could sing anything to that bass and it would sound great.
The song is based on true events that took place at an actual farmer's farm whose nickname was Junior ..the farm is located outside of Nashville Tennessee in the town of Lebanon...... Brilliant guitar virtuoso Jimmy RIP
I live right down the road from it. I went and saw it not long ago. Very Beautiful place
Been to the farm and my father Dan Ealey spent 3 weeks with Paul and wings at that farm in 74, the owners name was Junior Putman . Hard to believe but its true, look him up.
Proud Boy that’s so cool!!
@@madelinebandrews Hes got some awesome stories.
It wasn't a farmers farm, it was Curly Putmans farm. He is the writer of the song Green, Green Grass of Home and co writer of the most famous country song ever written, He Stopped Loving Her Today.
I'm listening to all kinds of music since 1964 but the beatles are on another universe musically. It's unreal what the done in 7 years
I also love the Beatles but not at first. I was into R&B and 'doowop", but it was Rubber Soul that first converted me. Then Revolver followed by Sgt Pepper's converted me forever. Then through McCartney and Wings, the rest is history! BTW, I still love doowop too.
Great classic rock! Underappreciated but one of the best, Take me back.......
one of my all time favorite songs Paul did in his entire career, I personally thought he was at his best with the Wings, despite this song reaching #3 on Billboard the radio stations hardly seems to play this song on the radio.
You thought he was at his best with Wings? You might wanna check out the band he was in before that...;)
Lynn Turman I have listened to the Beatles and always preferred Paul's work with the Wings more, I do like the Beatles.
Interesting...I disagree but I admire you for thinking independently (I'm sure you know most of the world disagrees with you). I DO think he was a better SINGER in the 70s than 60s but I think he was a better songwriter in the 60s. Not that I think he wrote terrible songs after the Beatles but the Beatles songs are the ones he'll be remembered for 200 years from now, imo.
Lynn Turman I wouldn't be surprised if most of the world would disagree with me, I'm sticking to how I feel rather than agree with everyone, I don't like Paul's work from the 80's very much though, I can see why many people would remember Paul when he was with the Beatles
My take is Paul was GREAT in the Beatles, and only just "very good" after that. Personally imo I think he did some great (uh...I mean very good) work in the 80s, and the 90s, and the 2000s (recently bought his latest "NEW" & thought it had some "very good" songs on it.) His work since the 60s & 70s isn't #1 with a bullet but imo its still really good. Tug of War, Off the Ground, Fine Line, Sing the Changes...just a few of the "great" songs he's done since the glory years...And there's a lot more. Believe me, just scratching the surface...
This song was about my friend's family farm. Junior AKA Curly Putman (my friend's father) a notable Nashville producer/songwriter who wrote or co wrote "He Stopped Loving Her Today and Green Green Grass of Home". Two country anthems. Paul Linda and Wings stayed on the farm in 1974 when they were recording this song.
interesting. I'd love to read about it
@@Bella-nt7ec There is a site on facebook titled Paul McCartney and Wings at Junior's Farm. Those are pictures of old friends of mine. Most of us were asked to stay away so Paul could have his privacy. We followed orders but I wish I had crashed the party.
@@Bella-nt7ec well there were pictures of my friends i guess they got buried
@@anthonyfoutch3152 🙂 Thank you for your answer, gonna check it out!
I'd've been happy just to be there and know Paul is at arm's length
This song reinforced my faith in the human race 45 yrs. Ago. I was lucky enough to see them do it " Live " in 1976.
Your so lucky to see them in 76. I had to wait a decade longer in tempe az. This guy is a living angel, saint and all around genius of a gentleman.
Made it to
Sir Paul's 36th birthday & Ms. Linda's homecoming
Tucson Community Center '76
Great Show!!
Whopping $11.00 / ticket
Damn how much you'd think a ticket is nowadays to see McCartney you'd be lucky to be able to see a tiny dot of Paul for $11
This song totally rocked when it was on the radio back in the day!
Yessir-Rocked! Mc Cartney and Wings- nuff said
It did & it still does👍✌️
Take me down Jimmy!!!!!
Ace Hermes
EPIC
Nod to James Brown, i'm guessing
@William Harvey check out "Goodbye My Love" by James Brown...he says the same line to one of his band members...recorded almost 10 yrs prior
@@michaelburvick5458 macca said in interviews it was a nod to Jimmy McCullough. Junior's farm. Nashville tenn.
We all had a Juniors Farm. Where we could all escape the madness, smoke some green, and relax!!!
If you were lucky, you had a few Junior's Farms. I guess I was always lucky.
Yeah, but this was inspired by a real farm. A big one.
Paul was looking good here.
Height of his hitmaking powers.
Drove John crazy.
Linda looks like David Bowie....

Makes me feel better every time I listen to it.🌲⛏️👍Real good music for Real people.
Magnificent Masterpiece, Paul is a musical genius, great music & memories of life, solid gold standard of excellence, top of the line music for over 50 years, Linda was absolutely beautiful and talented, legendary performance
Great solo by Jimmy McCulloch!
LOVE this one. I remember 1st time I heard it, driving thru NY, on way to new home in CA, with my new wife. She was driving our 71 Camaro.... nice memory.
I can`t say anything about Paul, only love him for his endless talent and charm.
Junior's farm is the reason why I've been a Wings fan for years
JImmy Mcculouch what a Doll !
RIP the brilliant Jimmy McCulloch
take me down jimmy!!!!
1970srocker ń
Happy 72nd birthday, Sir Paul!....Keep on a rockin'.....:) It's 'cause we love you too much.....We also love you to Linda
What a rocking ass song! Gdamn I love Paul McCartney.
Greetings let's not forget the rest of the band they're all legends the drummer Joe English came on board later on he was a drummer from Rochester New York.... Let's not forget the legend guitarist prodigy Jimmy! He was gorgeous to boot....may he rest in peace
Heh not by anyone who has to play and sing his parts!
@@anaparada7219 Funny, You mention Joe here. A, very good Friend of mine knew Joe and joined the Band, He left to go w/ Paul. Around the same time ,I had known the Mgmnt. That was going to represent Wings . They told Me to make a Tape ,to send . I did ,I used a Guitar plyr. That ended up w/ Mick Jagger and Kid Creole. I always thought Joe was English until Jack told Me the story . Very small World then.
@@DYNODRUM greetings from the great state of Arkansas is it's a little girl in all this music came outJimmy McCulloch stands out in my mind of course and all the other bands he was in with his brother Jack who was a drummer so whatever happened to Joe English I'm guessing he's back home in Rochester living in New York he looks very different now from a picture I seen of him..... He never got creditthat he deserved as a drummer and as a person in this business is no good it's very fickle field of druggies losers and users where were the McCartney's when Jimmy McCulloch had his drug problem they did nothing to help him disgrace he was only twenty-six years old in 1979 when he passed away Jimmy was gorgeous Beyond and what a talent phenomenal they were all just did that he wanted he could have done better Jimmy that's forshould have let Jimmy get more credit and do more solos in and songs and everything the Paul McCartney has to have the spotlight of course they're too selfish and self-indulgent and that wife of his she was okay but just kind of odd and not that great of a human being either she wasn't ugly but she wasn't beautiful either...add Jimmy not become famous he probably would have been alive todayhis brother Jack looks very similar he still alive today with his wife Annabelle I believe they had children God bless you and yours
It turns out that Macca hangs out with members of the WEF
and is pushing for the Great Reset . Imagine that !?
I hear songs by Wings and I am transportated right back to high school. I never thought myself as a big Beatles fan, they were my older sister's favorite, I thought of myself more of Wings fan.......after all I WAS in high school, that is until I found my old Ipod. (1st generation) After it was finally charged, I found several, no many, many Beatles songs on it, as well as Wing's songs. It is filled with 60's, 70's and 80's songs. My childhood is contained on an Ipod. It's a treasured possession. This song is on the Ipod (of course) and had the 5 star rating, as did all the Beatles songs. Guess after all I am a big Beatles fan. Oh, to go back in time and hear these songs when they first played on the radio.........
Favorite Paul M. & Wings song ever!!!! I remember when this came out on the radio.
One of my all time favorite McCartney songs! I never tire of this song.
As a songwriter, McCartney is the master!
Does anybody else miss Linda ⁉️. Kinda like that Fleetwood Mac singer Christine Mac....RIP ROCK ROYALS
I know it may sound crazy to ya but this is one of my favorite songs of all time. always makes me smile and that's gotta be worth something. so simple are the lyrics they become genius....
Second single I ever bought after Sparks ! ☘️
Not crazy at all! I actually have this song programmed in the Sirius app in my car. It will switch to the song whenever it's played on any channel.
This song, Silly Love Songs and MY Love -my favorite Wings and Mc Cartney productions- Thank You !
Prob my fav song from P.M. and Wings. Great song. I like many of his 70's singles from RAM especially.
Hi Hi Hi was a pretty rockin song from Wings as well. But Juniors Farm may be my favorite too.
This so great on so many levels. First and foremost, the tune itself, minus any visuals, still stands up. Now, add to that the wide angle / fish eye lens, the cheesy, cheap-ass visuals effects (which were mind-blowing at the time) and the fact that Linda looks like David Bowie - it all adds up to a great experience. Paul is in his prime and the tune just kicks ass! Music Videos before MTV!
+Jeff Kramer HOLY CRAP, you're right! JUST LIKE Bowie!! Seeing this now vs. back in the day, when the screen flashed neon pink, I was wondering if I wasn't having a stroke! ;-)
+J Just And she was a talented lady , focus on her background vocals..not too bad
+mrlafayette1964 Are you kidding? Have you heard the isolated track from the live performance of Hey Jude? She had no real talent, none, not as a musician or singer. She knew this herself and was under no delusions about it. She was probably a very nice person, but talented? No.
LOL I thought I was the only one who thought Linda looked like David Bowie!
That's Funny right There mmmmhumm
Jimmy McCulloch was the best Wings guitarist
Nick98l
I LOVE THIS
I LOVE THIS
After Denny Laine
Denny Laine was pretty awesome
Between all the Dennys and McCullough's Paul played with, my head is swimming.
First heard this on his all the best hits cd in 1988. As a young kid I remembered hearing most of his big hits in the 70s on the radio. Missed it the first time around. Very catchy song.
Its great to remember what a beautiful woman Linda McCartney was. God bless her sole
O.K. FANTASTIC SIR JAMES PAUL McCARTNEY, JUNIOR!S FARM IS ONE MORE OF YOUR FANTASTIC SONGS!!!!!!!!
I liked Linda - she was so sweet and wholesome - so sad for her and Paul - I really miss her after seeing her in the videos
@wildenfree1 - Ole Nancy is from Edison, NJ and was part of a trucking company who was friends with a friend of mine Rudy arrested with Matty the Horse....LOL....she was always a piece of a$z....
1:03 "Take me down, Jimmy!" Jimmy was a whopping 21 years old when he was recording with Paul on this one.....
Was an out n out badass on guitar
And he was dead four years later.
What a waste he died so young. He could have been one of the best ever. He was real good.
Hell ,jimmy looked about 16 years old !!!! LoL
😍😍😍😍
My biggest influence till this day the reason I played out for so many years , of course I loved the Beatles, but wings was my inspiration
This song gets stuck in my head a LOT!!! Just out of the blue, there it is, for DAYS!!! What a masterpiece! No one should ever doubt the musical genius of Paul McCartney. Add to it, the incredible musicians he hand picked, because he saw the greatness of each one.
What a perfect song!
Paul McCartney, to me, is finally the day when music takes
shape, form and fashion. For me, when I think of the face of music,
how can I not see the face of Paul McCartney?
Superior that the queen knighted him. What an honor!
Denny Lane is fab .... seek out "Go Now" by the Moody Blues. God Bless Jimmy McCullough, young guitar genius. Thanks Paul and Linda!!
Greetings from the great state of Texas I was 14 when Jimmy passed away his brother Jack was a great drummer and they both looked a lot alike terrible disgrace how Jimmy passed away it all could have been avoided the McCartney's and Jimmy's family should have helped him to disgrace Jimmy was gorgeous so is his brother and Denny Laine of course the drummer was great however when Joe English came on board the band sounded a lot better Joe English was a phenomenal drummer underrated band should be inducted into the Hall of Fame
Uh no….don’t seek out the Moodies version of Go Now…the Wings version is far more superior
Macca and his wing woman got Denny to perform " Go Now "
on their tours over the years . It was one of Linda's favourite tunes from Britain .
