Uncle Albert Admiral Halsey - PAUL McCARTNEY AND WINGS

[soapolice]

Ya gotta love the line....BUTTERPIE! the butter wouldn`t melt so we put it in the pie.

[madmanmax0001]

im so high

[123ETERNALDEATH]

CRIMES: Count 1 - Invasion of Privacy. Count 2 - Continuing Crucifixion of Angelina DiMauro since February 16, 1994. Today is Saturday, January 28, 2012 (C.E.), 6:11 AM (Earth-Eastern Standard Time)

[TheCamsmit]

All great men have had moustaches.

[TheRealWowewe]

The "little little" reminds me of Patrick Star's "leedel leedel leedel".

[TheRealWowewe]

I literally grew up with this song. My dad would play his Wings cd every Sunday morning.

[bretthejet60]

Thank's Paul for a great song. Haven't done a bloody thing myself today, either.

[44Blackjax]

Ahhh, so THIS is what was the number song when i was born back in September 1971. Good to know. :)

[autumndays55]

I loved this song when I was young but it wasn't until youtube that I found out it was after the Beatles. How can anybody diss this song? It definitely ranks up there with the Beatles songs. Genius!

[Tobacc0]

The album was savaged by many when it came out because of some unrealistic expectation it was going to the next level up from Let It Be or Sgt. Peppers. Instead it was an introspective and quirky, almost self-conscious doodle. Still a great album and a "lost classic" to many young people today who discover it. I prefer it that way...

[MrNatwill2]

@Tobacc0 I'm one of those young people who have discovered it. I'm also one of the young people who loves the 1960s-70s and hates modern music. I'm also a survivor of massive criticism for such.

[RogerHWerner]

This was McCartney's best album post Beatles. Great great album!

[MrJtc12344]

wish i still had the album

[tallorder9]

For Twinkie my Movie Star.

[hawk2300]

very good song

[Freyja1133]

Is Wings a good influence for apower metal band to have?

[crocdelsud]

Una de sus mejores, ´de la época post Beatles...

[lizbrennerurrutia]

@crocdelsud Disculpa pero para esta epoca Paul ya no pertenecia a los Beatles o Escarabajos.

[Delchingling]

3:25 is when you start to realize your getting high

[atomicwave]

I find myself coming back to this video on youtube a few times a day.

[CaptainChels]

"but we haven't done a bloody thing all day". I cant wait to see PM on the 5th of dec!

[007mperez]

very cool song......



[karlmoles65]

BY FAR the most Beatle-Esque song any of the Ex-Beatles ever did. This would fit in seamlessly on Magical Mystery Tour or even Abbey Road.

[redyossarian]

@karlmoles65 It might be true. It has somet of Beatles' sound and production. And the voice from the Yellow Submarine.

[karlmoles65]

@redyossarian When I was young and didn't know much about music yet, and heard on the radio, I thought it WAS a Beatles song, lol.

[redyossarian]

@karlmoles65 Me too. Guess it sounds a bit like one of their songs.

[karlmoles65]

@redyossarian Not surprising really. The radio used to play a hell of a lot more variety back then. 

[death2hiphopnRnB]

Wings finest hour? Definately. Thanks for the post man!

[drbobyorkshire]

@death2hiphopnRnB One of Paul's best post-Beatles, but not Wings. It pre-dates them and yet is included on so called Wings complilations (as is Another Day).

[kaneko269]

Paul, leave that sheep alone...

[Calichusetts]

Obligatory comment on how 21 people don't have good taste in music

[TheGizzardWizard]

The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie.

[mrstevehartman]

CRACKS me up how Linda says " Butterpie " at 3:03 !

[tigerpaint1964]

TOP DRAWER..!!!

[punchdogg1]

BULLOCKS



[HardDaysNight44]

I got this horn stuck in my head for two months now. haha. It doesn't matter though, because its awesome

[RingoGeorgeJohnPaul2]

My dad always randomly starts imitating the horn section in this song... lolz!

[509Fuzzypants]

@RingoGeorgeJohnPaul2 That's so funny! I always do too, and I was when I read your comment. LOLZ!!! Oh boy, we are all so alike in so many ways, aren't we?

[lutonloyalsoulman]

It's so hard to pick a Beatles/Lennon//McCartney favourite, but this is right up there as one of them.

[ladybab]

@lutonloyalsoulman You are so right

[TheTedKennedys]

@lutonloyalsoulman  Don't forget about Harrison man!

[seuin6]

@lutonloyalsoulman sir this is McCartney after the Beatles ; )

[maomaotittymcmao]

is that john cleese on the phone?

[diewasseratte]

@maomaotittymcmao Nope, it's Paul.

[papatierno]

DONDE ESTARA MI TIO ALBERTO EN EL CIELO O EN EL INFIERNO?



[jammmon]

Pink Floyd ripped this off and made Dark Side of the moon xD

[casalej]

@xlBimmerlx i know what you mean and all with ur statement, but to even mention and "compare" justin bieber, let alone pretty much anybody else, to the beatles, is just plain wrong and really cant be done or comprehended. Beatles forever.

[xIBimmerIx]

justin bieber isnt 1/4 of 1/4 of the members of the beatles

[justgetsome]

@xIBimmerIx so you mean 1/16?



[Makksor]

@justgetsome lol

[JhonyHellrocker]

@justgetsome no cause he say "is´t" so he means less than 1/16 xD you math teacher hahaha :P

[undeadsoldja]

@xIBimmerIx you cant compair any body to the beatles, it dont matter how big they become, theyll never be the beatls

[andrewjhyle]

im taking it they were on something when they wrote this song lol

[gupsnot]

@andrewjhyle I'm guessing you're right. Lucky buggers! Used to sit around a campfire in my girlfriend's backyard consuming mushy juice while listening to this stuff. Probably enough information for you by now I guess....

[ladybab]

What has this man not wrote

[MrAldebaranLight]

Guess he was baked, so was the butter pie. Still fun song to listen to!

[z250B]

Very British.

[shelly10538]

Does anyone know the story behind this song or is it just a surreal collage of words? The whole "Butter pie" bit is somewhat perplexing.

[mrstevehartman]

@shelly10538 Just sounds like another one of Pauls whimsical, fun to listen to songs ( Like O Bla De ). I love how Linda says " Butterpie " at 3:03 !

[shelly10538]

@mrstevehartman Wow, I always thought that was Paul or Denny Laine exclaiming, "Butterpie!?!".

[mrstevehartman]

@shelly10538 I read it was Linda once. And, she says it so " properly " in the Queens English ! " Butterpie" . As far as the meaning of the song, im not sure, but I like it !!

[Blackcatholman]

Having a good time with music without worrying about form, convention, or what people might think. One of the best!

[Progrose]

Beautiful. Paul, the ultimate songwriter.

[mattconroy]

Ugh. One of his most frightening creations. Awful.

[thegreatgamer7]

@mattconroy shut the fuck up its a masterpiece

[mattconroy]

@thegreatgamer7 You have a very liberal definition of "masterpiece."

[BerkLeeDrm]

Provincetown Massachusetts in the rain, 1971......wheres my time machine

[pistolpete633]

Thanks Paul...so much good stuff for a generation that was so blessed musically....

[EyeLean5280]

Great tune!

[37revelry]

right there with you, mistressofaminer, i just discovered "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" from the film "Greenberg," and have been listening to it incessantly since. Much as i did when fate gave me the fabulousness of "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" via ...the RADIO in 2008. Still pop it on repeat every now and again. Similar, most certainly; though "Uncle" has that outlandish grandeur and "Scenes" has the intrigue and nostalgia. Bravo Billy. Pour it on us, Paul.

[Kelticgirl1]

I loved this song since childhood (age 9), the melody and harmony is so beautiful. I remember this was the first 45 record I ever bought and still adore this song into my 40's! Thank you for posting!

[mistressofaminer]

Billy Joel is greatly influenced by McCartney, and with all the different textures and contrasting themes in this song, it might of inspired Joel to write, "Theme from an Italian Restaurant"

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@mistressofaminer Yeah, I can see that. You know, I read an interview w/ Joel where he said The Nylon Curtain was his ode to the Beatles. I don't really get that because, like you, I think his earlier stuff was so much more obviously Lennon/McCartney influenced. Maybe he was talking about the idea that that album was mostly three or four minute songs. Anyway, it's a great album. I just don't get the Beatles influence.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@mistressofaminer On second thought...let me ammend that. I just listened to "Laura." Um, I was completely wrong. It definitely does sound very Beatlesque. I don't remember the rest of the album having that quality, but I'm probably wrong about that as well, haha.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@mistressofaminer It's been a pretty long time since I've listened to the whole album. I'm dumb. Definitely Beatle influenced.

[azzya14]

MCcartney is God of music

[VerbinStudios]

This is an anthem for a feel good day

[ladybab]

Love it

[shelly10538]

McCartney was smoking da ganja when he came up with this "Butter pie" tomfoolery;)

[makingsense53]

McCartney is amazing the way he can write such catchy songs using just the simplest of everyday conversations. McCartney is like the Jerry Seinfeld of pop music. He writes great songs about nothing. Peace.

[dennisconnolly1]

Love It!

[ncisducky4ever]

We're so sorry, Uncle Albert that there are 17 people who mistakenly hit the dislike button but they haven't done a bloody thing all day =(

[beinganangeltreon]

Paul McCartney is making a _| shape on purpose on the album cover Paul McCartney is a true rebel

[robodxkid]

me encantaaa!!!

[money7373]

i'm the 1,000TH Like!

[MrRed58]

thedford bar "the dirty dog bar"

[velvetQueen699999]

I've been a fan for the past 30 years and I finally have the opportunity to see Paul McCartney live in concert, it's about time!!!

[ThomasParo]

LOVE THIS SONG FROM THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT!!!!!!!

Expecially : 1:10-1:30 and  2:32-2:54

[GreggtheG]

what was the name of the song right after this

[billlyk1]

It's nice to float back in time

[MrGreglander]

Sir Paul McCartney appears to be utterly and completely baked at 2:55-3:24

[DavePerry2012]

@MrGreglander I'm pretty sure he was utterly and completely baked from 0:00 to 4:56.

[byronchurch]

@MrGreglander No wings yet

[jamesperson]

@MrGreglander

I think its more like 0:00-4:56

[JSUSSSI]

@MrGreglander AND THATS BAD BECAUSE?

[1953bluejayway]

@MrGreglander

all the beatles were "baked" at 1 time or another, it came with thier territory

[sgt420sx]

@MrGreglander indeed!

[xxKYLExGxx]

before Wings :)

[patrick45sue]

It's now 2 pm and I havn't done a bloody thing all day,but listen to Paul...

[SimboSays]

@JaysGuitarCovers Yes, you not being amongst them.

[JaysGuitarCovers]

@SimboSays O im sorry. I didnt think i would get a comment reply from Justin Bieber.... Fag

[aardvark763]

this song lasted a lifetime , i just got back from a grateful dead show, many years ago ty for psting

[prozack711]

I'm 23. I've been drinking. My dad, a good ol' friend, is shaving in the bathroom. The door was wide open. A picture had fallen off the refrigerator, taken when I was just 14, a freshman in high school. I was pointing out the differences in the eyes of that young man compared to the poor son of a bitch we see today. He compared the two and told me to leave him alone to his grooming. Well, fuck you too, old man! ...He's read it now. It's all good. I just want the pain to go away.

[Picek48]

Thumbs up,if Greenberg brought you here

[stonyfordkid313]

I was a little boy herd this song now I'm old but the song was stuck in my head and love it

[al18631963]

Sir paul mccartney this song still rocks.............

[mordockpop]

This song reminds me of days at the public swimming pool when i was a kid...lmao, this and Captain and Tennille...but make note...i haven't sought out muskrat love on the Tube....

[primaveraIII]

how i love this song, makes me dream,,,,, thanks

[drone5]

an oft-overlooked gem. understated humor, a song structure which takes more winding turns than "A Day in the Life" & wonderful spirit of fun (particularly in that "live a little" part)

wouldn't have been out-of-place on a Beatles LP.

[sequoia151]

the 17 people that dislike this dont like there butter in the pie!

[GINGERALER]

I remember hearing this on the radio when it was a *current* hit, not an oldie! I always referred to it as "Hands Across The Water". "Band On The Run" was structured similar to this, with the track going through different musical transitions.

[CastfireTheAwesome]

@GINGERALER McCartney (or any of The Beatles for that matter) will never be an oldie! Long live good music :)

[freezefire1220]

This song results in instant happiness :p 

[baratz007]

don't know why people put thumbs down on songs,it would be a boring world if we all liked the same thing....would it not!!!!!!!

[loralie5974]

Too bad he can't do this in concert. Don't think there was a video to this song either. But it would have been great. Cartoonish, I think. Like Yellow Sub. Great tune.

[aprilynn1100]

@loralie5974 yea that would be cool!

[lancetop]

John Lennon always thought Paul's music was too sappy and shmaltzy.....and this song could qualify as that. But geez this song is FABULOUS! That is Paul's forte, is writing songs about the most simple subjects:)

[4211959]

This guy always had a way of taking any kind of song and making it likable.

[MandyVin17]

One of Fauls best!

[neidighl]

Very Beatles like vibe to this song. I like it very much.

[gompth1966]

PAUL McCARTNEY IS A FUCKING GENIUS!!!

[kruzrock]

hola



[b71111]

good song he a genus!!!!

[harrison4337]

i always thought this was a beatles song as a kid

[irishmike1100]

AWSOME !

[babygirl226677]

my dad was singing this and i asked him what song this was and i really like it and think it has great potential and is creative

[SqueeJohnny420]

live a little be a gypsy get around (get around)

get your feet up off the ground

live a little get around

live a little be a gypsy get around (get around)

get your feet up off the ground

live a little get around ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

[GIMMESHELTER50]

One classical favorite!

[nivek663]

"the butter wouldnt melt so I put it in the pie"

[tim111061]

@nivek663 This is must be Paul McCartney's tribute to Gilbert and Sullivan

[babygirl226677]

wat they do to uncle albert

[babygirl226677]

my dad was singing this 2me its funnny

[IzRaiiinI]

The butter wouldn't melt so i put it in the pie.

[kimberkley]

reminds me of my step dad rick. Hey you out there?????

[mikecaprista]

lll

[prozack711]

They don't switch up the tempo and melody as often with music these days. That shit's like a very smooth, fun rollercoaster.

[EmeraldFlowsion62]

@prozack711 so true! That's what makes songs like this and psychedelic songs from the 60's so wonderful!

[Gimmer3]

Takes me right back to my teens, thanks!

[dduvall183]

one of my favorite after Beatles McCartney tunes....takes me back, couldn't wait for the Ram album to come out.....

[GBPaddling]

"Lennon and McCartney didn't do anything decent after the Beatles" - oh yeah?

[c4xfire]

Salute!

[maxitash09]

Paul McCartney is the greatest.

[JOHNBRANSKI100]

WINGS WERE NOT ON THIS , 

[fana84]

There was an icelandic children's sone version of this, anyone here from Iceland remember it? who was the singer?

[TomthatiscalledTom]

"Durin' the Waaawwwrrr....."

[MPT1983]

Sounds like 3 or 4 songs on top off eachother to make 1

[oLdSkOoLkisS]

Did you know....."Another Day" and "Uncle Albert" are both pre-Wings hits .....however they are included on the Wings Greatest Hits album.So you may want to change your info.

[TRASUPO]

Linda Mcartney as Mr Kricket.

[superality]

One of my McCartney and Wings favorites

[weepingguitar23]

This is like the "Yellow Submarine" of Wings. Always loved it! hehehe

[notabone]

Be a gypsy,

Live a little,

Get around,

Get you're feet up

Off the ground,

Live a little,

Get around.

That's poetry, the best, not some stoned out crap. LOL

[notabone]

My Mom bakes butter pies...the best....and plumpudding isn't a pudding. LOL. Eat your pudding, dear, or it'll spoil.LOL. You're such a butter tart...LOL

[1FineYoungCannibal]

@juliemc76 Same here.

[alexisnihon1]

2 SONGS IN 1..GREAT...

[hotdognights]

I would like to meet the critic from the NME who described this album as 'The nadir of rock music.' It proves the point that the only true critic of music is time.

[galoon]

@hotdognights You're right about that---I think time so far has shown that rock music hasn't seen a nadir yet. To me this album is one of its higher points.

[TheIrishmary]

I was 17, my boyfriend had a chamin ghia? sp with huge headphones, and we would drive to Chicago, with these huge headphones, we each had a pair, and smoke some weed, and I was so impressed by him, and my mind was blown by this album...how could you not laugh...people would stare at us, with these enormous headphones, laughing, crying, and all in all falling in lust..love..

[MusicMadMaurice]

@TheIrishmary It's Karmann Ghia. A VW sports car. I was 17 too when this came out.

[MegaObserver1]

I know I'm showing my age, but when this song was out, I was dating a girl who's mom was a classical musician. She didn't much listen to pop music, but she was facinated by this song. She as amazed by the quick chord changes and overlaped instruments and voices. I had to explain to her about the "miracle" of multi-track recording and layering, that the song was recorded in short segments, then assembled.

[galoon]

@MegaObserver1 That's neat--it's the exact same way Brian Wilson recorded Good Vibrations back in the '60s---in short snippets that were then combined into a single master. From day one with the Beatles through the Wings era, Paul's songs continuously got more complex and interesting.

[andersmh123]

awesome tune. brings back good memories.

[luckymummyof5]

New to this can anyone tell me how to download this song ?

[stupidscrewedseries]

@luckymummyof5 zamzar?
