@mccartneymusic I also know this is a song by Paul McCartney as a solo artist in has nothing to do with The Beatles so less should be comparing them, right? I argue that The Beatles are one and Paul McCartney is another person apart,so the issues should be addressed in Beatles songs and videos of The Beatles not in videos and songs by Paul McCartney as a solo artist that and he's another person of another life, not if I explained well,do you understand?
This song is about US South.This album was pissed on but they never listened.Bip Bop is about them Southern States where you were supposed to be in the back seat of any car.If you were black.Please..for once,,Do not put WINGS and Wild Life, down,,it is all about secludesness.
paul mccartney once said he hated this song... he only released it later, because a producer by the name of Trevor Horn told him that he loved it and it was his favourite song of his.
At one time I thought Lennon was "serious" and Mac was "light." With time and learning of how they composed I know they both had all the human feelings, just that Mac wanted to please audiences and Lennon wanted to please his artistic self first. Just different personalities, both gifted by the muse of music! Appreciate a wider range of music, not a narrower one to lead a full life.
DOES ANYBODY KNOW.......the name of the old American blues song he got this from. I was listening to a collection of old black blues artists a few years ago and there it was....I heard a song probably from the 1920s/30s that was clearly where he got the idea for this song. Damned if I cant remember who it was. All i remember is that it was a black blues singer circa 1920s/30s and he had a high voice.
@inkey2 I believe the song is "That's No Way to Get Along" by Robert Wilkins. The Rolling Stones did a version (they called it "Prodigal Son") on Beggars Banquet. I think Leo Kottke did an instrumental version on one of his live albums. It's a great melody, with lots of wonderful versions, this being one of them.
Musically, both Lennon and McCartney were/are brilliant and quite similar. Personally they were from different planets. Lennon was an egotistical, judgemental, self-righteous jackass who was convinced that he was God's, or Buddah's, or Lord Krishna's greatest creation. Long live Sir Paul McCartney, the greatest Beatle.
@789lop1 Scratch what I just wrote. That is, the song by Rev. Robert Wilkins is also called "Prodigal Son." "That's No Way to Get Along" is similar, but "Prodigal Son" is a dead ringer. There's even a version on YouTube!
McCartney a great talent but this is not his best work. I think this the type of material Lennon was referring to when he used the expression 'muzac'.
@hirdy6: John was full of shit about many, many things. Paul created music in all genres. This isn't "muzak." This is folk music. And it's weird, sure. And nonsensical. And I certainly wouldn't put it in my top 10 McCartney favorites but damn if it isn't catchy and homey and funny (especially Linda's interjection, "Then you go ...". I love that bit). People need to stop defining Paul by John's jealousy-driven comments from 30 to 40 years ago. And just appreciate an offbeat little piece of music.
@TheMrosin Whatever blows your hair back. I don't define my opinions by anyone's comments. You agreed with the guts of what I said anyway, it wasn't his best work. Lennon might have been wrong about a some things, who isn't? However I reckon he was spot on about a few things such as world peace and equality between the sexes. His song Imagine says plenty, you might want to listen to the lyrics, might make you less spiteful. If you can write stuff like that you have little to be jealous about.
i friggen love this song. all my friends that i had in the 70's were totally RECRUITED because if they wouldn't they couldn't hang with me. I had power in the 70's because my parents allowed all my friends to smoke cigs and even drink beer. NO PAULIE HATERS ALLOWED. Oh and no snobby jock f*cks. You had to be a REAL person.
Mumbo and Bip Bop both were experiments in groove and rhythm. Both succeeded .
Wings Wild Life is so uinderrated..I LOVE it. I think it's his most authentic record, bursting with his romance with Linda. I forgive all the little gaffs.. The album makes you FEEL GOOD!! What's that worth? Definitely my favorite Wings album..
please don't argue on the topic; "who is better Lennon or McCartney ?" that's nonsense; anyway there would have been no Beatles without any of the Fab Four
Avec "J'ai dix ans" Alain Souchon a pas mal pompé sur ce titre... 3 ans plus tard. Même fond sonore, même jeu de guitare et souvent mêmes 3 accords, même si la mélodie n'est pas rigoureusement la même. On n'est pas loin du plagiat.
