One thing's for certain....if The Beatles had stayed together into the early '70s they would have most definitely tried their hand at reggae. As a matter of fact, they already had with "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" in 1968! (On a side note, listen to the guitar break in the early Beatles song "I Call Your Name" and note that it suspiciously sounds like The Beatles are attempting a first wave ska beat).
Una delle rare impennate di classe superlativa, quando il buon Macca era costretto a dover dimostrare che i Beatles erano "solo" lui a conti fatti.Questa canzone è l'esempio lampante di un talento naturale, capace di scrivere rock, pop, blues, glam, tutti gli stili non hanno segreti per Paulie. Nessuno come lui. Forse solo Elton può competere...con la sua ars musicale.
@GreenyMcFleetwood That's your personal opinion, there are a lot of people who like Lennon, but there are also a lot of people who like McCartney. John was a fantastic song writer..but I can relate to Paul's music more.
@2005BustaH Hi, my babyboy 8months old loves this song as lollaby but I would really like to understand what does it mean C-Moon. It seens to me you got it, please let me know. Thanks.
@scandal... : HAHAHAHA!! it doesn't even look like a mullet on Paul...just to show how much he can get away with!! :) :)
@cricketbat... : it IS a feel-good song...I don't get it, but who has to? it's just fun and simple, one of those songs that gets in your head and won't leave you alone for days...in a good way, of course! :)
Paul, piensa en la clase trabajadora, como fuieste antes de ser beatle, muchos quisimos ser como tú, por favor acuerdate de lo que fuistes antes tio, un amigo tuyo,angel.
@chichowero claro q no con los beatles gano mas fama de lo q ha ganado en su carrera solista entera, es lo mismo q decir q John lennon no le fue bien soloista, lo cual es mentira
@starrfisher "C Moon" is a reggae song written by Paul McCartney and released by Wings as the B-side of their single "Hi Hi Hi" in 1972. The name "C Moon" was inspired by lyrics in the song "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. McCartney said, "There's a line in Wooly Bully that says, 'Let's not be L7.' L7, means a square (put L and 7 together and you get a square) So I thought of the idea of putting a C and a moon together (a half-moon) to get the opposite of a square. (means cool)
Paul McCartney wrote this song from an inspiration of "Wooly Bully". There was a line in the show that said, "Let's not be L7." This means square, considering that an L and a 7 make a square. Then, McCartney made a C and Moon, referring to a half moon, which was interpreted to mean "cool".
There is a Linda for every Paul. They made great music together!
