  • Old early post Beatles solo song by Paul blast from the 70s

  • Trippy. I've never heard this. I just did some kind of Mary Had a Little Lamb on my channel:) Check it out. Thanks. ~Wynter

  • Paul should re-release this tune. Write new lyrics for it. The melody and chorus are great. The lyrics, well, yeah "ban this aholes!". Kind of a waste of a good song.

  • Why, if you reply to more than one item; they make you go through a decoder verification of those horrible hard to read letters???? I'm not going to bother any more; I'm sure I'll be greatly missed..... !!

  • proof that he ran out of material and ideas. john was right. putz

  • @MsReignman Johns a sack of shit. so is that fuck YOKO

  • @MsReignman Actually if you look closely at the quality of the video that's not just poor camera work. That's camera work from about the 70's, maybe the 80's. That was in his really big high as a kite stage. I bet the decision to record it went somewhat like this.

    Paul: *giggles* What if... we did... Mary *giggles and takes a drag* Had a Little Lamb

    Mr. Record Producer: PAUL YOU'RE BRILLIANT!

  • To me, one of his worst song ever, perfect for children between 3-8 years but junk for anyone else

  • @AgentChristian AH VETE A LA VERGA ENTONCES >_< .i.

  • @AgentChristian Well, it was intended for kids. I see no harm in that.

  • Apparently this was recorded in response to "Give Ireland Back to the Irish" being banned. Hahaha, so very Paul. And the best part is it's a legitimately good rewrite of the rhyme.

  • haha the softie version of the SRV version haha a really shit!!

  • The best version I ever heard

    

  • wings

  • I think this is SOOO great! :) FANTASTIC arrangement...I LOVE IT!!

  • lol... I love linda's hat at 2:23

  • Love Pauls music !!

  • Is Paul really wearing a fake ear? :s lol this is cute..

  • I like the way paul turns his head to the camera

  • I love you Paulie....

  • he is a BOSS :D

  • at 2:25 look at her right shoulder (your left) a hand touches & then leaves o:

  • paul is wearing a fake ear because he's not paul and he thinks that one looks like the real paul's ear

  • @zerocool2160 right on man

  • 61 stupid people in the world. Who can dislike something so perfect like this song?? Envious and ignorant people!

  • I created an account just to sign in and say, you've got to be fuckin' kiddin'.

  • Paul went through so many line ups of Wings....you start to wonder why. None of the line ups lasted! Why would anyone just STOP playing with THE Paul McCartney?! Gee, could it have possibly been Paul?!

  • Wings had more songs banned than tehe Sex Pistols and that's why Macca did this song. "Give Ireland Back to the Irish" was banned due to the politics, then the next Wings' single "Hi Hi Hi" was banned due to drug refernces. So Paul said, "fine, let them try to ban this!!!'

  • @marcusbondi hehe, and btw, if all drug related songs were banned, bye to the 70s :)

  • I remember seeing this on TV! Was it from the Flip Wilson show?

  • I wonder what the poor bandmembers thinks about this number??

  • @rumfang They probably think that it's really cool to be backing up some one like Paul McCartney. While it's not particularly my cup of tea, it's a beautifully made song.

  • It's a poem if you add some sound it'll be music. whatever poem or music it's nice to hear.

  • It's a poem if you add some sound it'll be music. whatever poem or music it's nice to hear.

  • It's a poem if you add some sound it'll be music. whatever poem or music it's nice to hear.

  • @dcodesystem (he states repeatedly....) lol

  • of course you realize this was to his daughter mary?

  • hahaha this cracked me up!

  • Comment removed

  • The reason Paul did this song was because 'Give Ireland Back to the Irish' was banned by the BBC. Paul clearly thought that the song didn't contain anything offensive, and literally made a song that absolutely nobody could find anything rude or offensive about. Then released it as a single.

  • For years I read about this as being Paul's low. I had never heard it before now. If this was his low ... well that says it all really.

  • ALRIGHT IM TRIPPED OUT GO TO 1:41 AND WATCH CAREFULLY AS HE SHAKES HIS HEAD. do normal peoples ears flop like that? Paul Is Dead.

  • @cjn12140 That's Macca, the one and only, you twit! Look at pre 1966 photos and he has the same ears...in fact, get a life, Paul lives!!!

  • he lacks a strong voice to tell him that what he's doing is lacking. Rather a large ego. Plus he just push hard enough.

  • This song was a response to BBC banning Give Ireland Back to the Irish. It's Paul saying "I dare you to ban this too." to BBC.

  • i think this is the most epic song ever! :D

  • One goofy song? One??? Do you not have ears (or taste)? Most of his post Beatle output was pure crap.  I agree with you that Lennon put out some crap too. I guess he thought it was avant garde. Shit probably influenced by Yoko. As far as being a bore...maybe in your eyes. I'm sure when you and your Star Wars geek friends have a party at your hovel I'm sure the Paul McCartney music comes blarring out of the 6X9's. Rock on dude. I want to party with you. Hahaha. Ass Clown.

  • AAAAiiiiiiii......WHAT CRAP!!!!!!!!!! I thought I heard it all but I was sorely mistaken. This mixture of notes set to words (I won't use the word "song") has got to be the sappiest thing my ears have ever been subjected to. I fuckin' can't believe it. How in the world can anyone over the age of eleven like this? MadHatter and I were comparing worst songs by PM on Wings-Band on the run (original) and he brought this up. I had to hear it myself. Un-fucking-believeable.

  • linda mccartney = reverese cowgirl w/ double amputee

  • did u hear heather mccartney's laugh after the first verse and chorus? listen! he put this out in response to the "Ireland Back to the Irish" ban.

  • warum schreiben hier alle englisch

  • @OPA2011 weil sie sind englisch?

  • beautiful SONG no matter the words. a simple poem into a fun song.

  • dude his ear looks fake it looks like a fake ear falling off. weird anyone else see it?

  • I don't care what comments are posted here. I LIKE THIS SONG. Makes me recall all my lovely childhood memories.

  • isnt the musical-bridge between the refrain and the verses the main theme of "the phantom of the opera"?

  • Simply beatiful...

    

  • Why is Paul wearing a fake ear??

  • @silentyp3 When they made him up for the camera, they didn't do his ears, silly. :)

  • @silentyp3 That's an earphone in his ear.... lol

  • @kevinbacon6451 That's no earphone, more like a hugh fake ear.

  • @kevinbacon6451 I'll admit there's no reason for a normal person with non-deformed ears to wear fake ears.

  • This is just harmless whimsy, but Christ, it's a comedown from the man who wrote Helter Skelter...and he stole that keyboard scale from Pink Floyd's 'Echoes'. And then Lloyd Webber pinched it again for Phantom.

  • @ProjectFlashlight612 This is a great song, especially if played back to back with "give ireland back to the irish" and his next two singles were "C Moon" and "My Love", the latter of which is one of the greatest songs ever!

  • Hey i have a top comment!...niiiiice! :D

  • OMG wtf u lot on about it`s a song saddos

  • It seems odd to bring up "Mary had a little lamb" by McCartney, and there's all these people talking about Hitler, fascists, and calling each other crass names. I don't know who started the argument, but chill out and enjoy the music! Holy Moly.

  • Cunt!

  • No I am against any religion or government murdering and oppressing any peoples in order to replace that value or religion with that of there own.....the very idea of the word Antsematism is an oppressive front.......anyone says anything against the jews or zionist is attacked ......what is the word for anti Christian or anti Jesus ...there isnt one.....Hitler sent the first Jews to Palestine on Nazi ships to murder Palestinians ? Jewish Holocaust I think not !

  • @44774477ric An interesting fact about Lennon is that he didn't give a fuck about your christian values or any other religious values at all. Listen to "Imagine" ("Imagine no religion/ It's easy if you try/ No hell below us/ Above us only sky"). Or what about his song "God", in which he says he doesn't even believe in The Beatles?

  • @44774477ric As for Hitler sending Jews to ISRAEL to murder Palestinians, I only have one thing to say. ARE YOU SERIOUS?? Read some history books, you stupid moron!! I suggest you shut up now before you make yourself look like more of an ignoramus than you already have!

  • @Alt0nsy I suggest you get out some history books and do some real research because your elementary school history lessons have left you ignorant of true history........just google Kibbutz camps 1933 Hitler.....and as for the Holocaust its strange that Hitlers ships brought 4 to 5 million Jews to Palatine during a time the Jews claimed 4 or 5 million were exterminated in concentration camps ? the real holocaust was the 60 million others that died during WW2..! hmmm hitler had a Jewish mother ?

  • @44774477ric Stop reading antisemitic holocaust revisionists and read some real history books by real historians, ya bigot!!

  • I will say again ........how does it feel paul to be just a propped up false flag attack on the human condition !

  • let me explain this song. He did give ireland back to the irish but then that got banned so then he decided 2 do a nursery rhyme. so he was practically saying come bbc i dare u 2 ban me again

  • LALALALALALALALALALLALALALALAL :D

  • people forget he did this as a joke.

  • Paul Mcartney sucks and always will John was the Beatles paul is a hack........what a clown on the world stage .....wings sucked worse

  • @44774477ric According to Guiness World Records, he's" the most commercially successful songwriter in the history of popular music."- Wikipedia Pretty strange that they would say that about a musician that "sucks" and is a "hack", as you say, eh?

  • @Alt0nsy Thank the Jew World order and the British propoganda machine for that....Paul is just a big corperation mouth piece..............representin­g the NWO british royal fuck over!

  • @44774477ric Ahhh, I see. So sorry. I didn't know I was dealing with an antisemitic moron. I shouldn't have commented. My apologies.

  • @Alt0nsy I am not antisemitic I am just aware of the presence of a huge international effort to destroy Christian value and prop up jewish values and its pitbull is zionism and fascism ....its obvious effects span the globe like cancer...this is a Khazarian effort to distract humanity from its full potential....many jews are opposed to this also ....Paul spoke wrote and sang to the Jew world order tune.....john did not that is why john was murdered ! he chose to enlighten man....paul sold out !

  • @44774477ric S oo you're against Jewish values? Then burn your Bibles. Jesus wasn't a Christian with a New Testament under his arm. He was a JEW you idiot, as the sign nailed to the cross affirms. Also, if you care to read, most of your Christian values come from the Old Testament, not the New Testament. The sign on the cross said "king of the Jews". By the way, everything you said IS antisemitic, only it is said in such a way to deny that it is. The Khazars being Jewish is a myth.

  • @44774477ric I agree with you 100%. I couldn't have said it better. He was (and still is) a hack. Lennon was a man who wrote adult material. Paul merely a child wrote crap.

  • @bthor76 John Lennon disagreed and clearly saw Paul's huge talent. Lennon even admitted he ASKED Paul to join his band "and Paul said yes the next day". Lennon may have made the odd snipe about Macca, but his opinion on his talent never really changed. In 1980 he said "I've only ever chosen to work with two people, Paul McCartney and Yoko Ono, and that ain't bad picking". Listen to crap like "Two Virgins" if you want and pretend it's art. I'd much rather listen to this.

  • How Do You Sleep by John Lennon; So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise You better see right through that mother's eyes Those freaks was right when they said you was dead The one mistake you made was in your head You live with straights who tell you you was king Jump when your momma tell you anything The only thing you done was yesterday And since you're gone you're just another day But pretty soon they'll see what you can do The sound you make is muzak to my ears How do you sleep?
  • @FabFM "Paul's huge talent" oh God. Another hero worshipper comes out of the woodwork. Did you see "the odd snipe about Macca" (whoever that is) that I just posted. It was A SONG not an odd snipe from Lennon's Imagine album. Hell, even George Harrison got in on it and played the slide guitar. As far as the "pretend it's art" crack, you said that. I never did. As far as I'm concerned you can put your headphones on and "rock out" to Paul McCartney music. Somebody must be buying his shit.

  • @bthor76 So if you're going to define Paul McCartney by one goofy throw-away song he did as a lark, then let's define John Lennon by his "classic" tune: Beef Jerky, featuring those intensely intellectual lyrics: "Beef jerky, beef jerky, beef jerky." You clearly have no understanding of whimsy and sound like a complete bore.

  • @bthor76 Yes, John did two songs attacking Paul. I know this. it's not new news. What also isn't news is that fact he later said he regretted it and said he felt it make him look bad. Paul McCartney also said he knew John as the sort of person to say things he didn't mean and at the end of the day HE KNEW LENNON BETTER THAN YOU.

  • @bthor76 yup. still arguing like schoolgirls in 1964

  • What a shitty song did he just destroy this song Stevie nailed Mary had a little lamb I dont know who wrote this song but Stevie owns it........Paul always sucked and this is just more evidence

  • @44774477ric you know, just because you don't like a song, doesn't mean you have to go and post your hatred for everyone who does like him to read. not to start a war or anything, but i hate how people do that! no one can be perfect, and everyone has different likings, especially in music.

  • Who had more songs banned? Wings or Sex Pistols? Wings! After the UK Govt banned Wings' 'Give Ireland Back To the Irish' for its pollitics, Macca recorded "High High High' and that got banned for supposed 'drug' references. Macca was incredulous and furious, so he saw his only option was to go with 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' to avoid being banned again!

  • A very sweet song...

  • Only Paul McCartney could turn the worlds simplest nursery rhyme into a catchy tune.

  • @betsydog wrong. Stevie Ray did much better

  • @betsydog That's right! That's because he's a genius!! The one and only Macca....

  • @betsydog I completely agree!!

    Paul is BIG!

  • This is too lame for Sesame Street, ..you can't polish a turt!

  • How effing dope is this clip? :D

  • In a 1964 Bob Dylan concert someone jokingly shouted out "Mary Had a Little Lamb" as a request. Dylan said, "Good God! Did I record that?!! Is it a protest song?"

    Well, Dylan never got around to recording it., but Paul McCartney did.

  • Simon ... this reminds me of you xx k

  • mary is the first macca daughter ..she also sings in the song she was about 3 or 4 yrs old then

  • mary tenia un corderito

  • The mutton called - he wants his mullet back.

  • when i have kids, ill make sure they listen to this version of mary had a little lamb! its just so awesome

  • I really can't say I ever expected this, but something tells me I should've. Very nice, though ^_^

  • Wow, nice dated music video. The matching outfits, strange dancing and psychedelic background really improve.

  • If Mary had a little lamb

    She must have done it with a Ram

    Dirty girl, how perverse

    Makes me sick, what could be worse ?

  • So who's to blame here, McCartney for actually writing this drivel and releasing it as a single...or the idiots who bought it and made it a hit ?

  • deep man, so obvious it deals with the affectations within the material realm and its slaving upon the human condition, hang on, im thinking of something else, errr, humpty dumpty, thats it. i read yesterday about why they put this out as a single as a musical tantrum to how the critics called his last effort as emotionally lightweight, makes me laugh as this still charted high,

  • I thought this was a Stevie Ray Vaughan cover...

  • @Bmeinemusic

    No , the Stevie Ray vaughan cover is made of wood...it's called a coffin !

  • I do not like this.

  • Hi! Gotta Wonder what John thought of this.. but hey, just for the record, this NOT the Flip Wilson Show Performance, that was the one out in the country....

  • @KenBSpencer I'm not so sure about that. I remember Linda in that top hat from the Wilson show. Might be another variation, I guess.

  • You do have to wonder what John thought of this...

  • @KenBSpencer I bet John loved it though he would never admit it lol.

  • "and you could hear them singing.... la la la la"

  • LOOK OUT! A black guy will shoot Paul McCartney for this!

  • Is this the lamb that was driven out of the classrooms in America? Thank you Paul for making rhymes alive again.

  • pauls a musical genuis but it took balls of iron to release this as a single.

  • @whosyourbuddy100 Oh, it's a joke! NOW I understand why it sucks so bad! Believe me, I'm a huge Beatles and McCartney fan, I just think this song was awful!

  • @nashtndawg Yes, it was intentionally silly and stupid as to stick it to the BBC.

  • I love McCartney, but this is AWFUL!! I remember seeing this when it was shown on The Flip Wilson Show thinking, "You left the Beatles for THIS??!!" Thank goodness Wings got better from this point....

  • @nashtndawg oh wow .... this clinches it , either you're tone deaf or jealous of an awesome song . this song was done first of all because his 2 previous singles were banned by the bbc and he was making fun of them . out of it came a great little song though , with a melody you can never forget because it's so good . ... and then the key change before the last verse is brilliance . even when he's making a joke he writes better than anybody .

  • Awful. Only minutely better than the abomination that is "Give Ireland Back To The Irish"

  • @indyandsam if u like anything by paul how can u not like this song ...??? it's a classic mccartney melody , musically not worse than anything he does . if ya like " let em in " , " with a little luck " , or any great melody by him , ya have to like this , it's a great melody with an awesome key change at the end . if u hate it because it's a nursery rhyme , then shame on u ... it's not lyrics ya listen to with paul , it's the music....always .

  • @whosyourbuddy100 No its shit. Its the sort of twee drivel that lost him a lot of respect. The songs you mention are in a completely different league to this audio manure. This is a nursery rhyme for gods sake. A song is called a "song" because it has lyrics. Otherwise whats the point? You might as well listen to Panpipes Play McCartney

  • @indyandsam no , you're wrong , a song is called a song because it has " music " . what you're referring to is a poem , which is what a song without music is . i never said a song " shouldn't have any lyrics " , i said when u listen to paul , you're listening to the music , not the words . if u look at many of his lyrics on paper , much of it IS drivel and many times doesn't even make sense . "uncle albert " is a good example , but when u add the notes , it becomes a masterpiece .

  • @whosyourbuddy100 -this is one of my all-time favorites. I agree and think this song could've used any words (as beatles commonly have turned strange 'words' into wonderful music). Call me shallow, but I first like the music then pay attention to the words.

  • @whosyourbuddy100 Not all songs have "music", a song is anything that can be sung, ever heard of a song sung accapela?

  • WHo can be so heartless that they rate thumb down on this song??

  • @bearkt Hey, I'm with you! Whever you are! It's one of McCartney's best, I think.

  • Paul hit the Beeb with for banning HI HI HI and GIVE IRELAND BACK TO THE IRISH. Good for u Paul

  • @kjf666 Yeah, this is what happened. After "Irish" was banned, Paul wanted to put out something even the BBC would not ban! Many people don't know it, though. Still, I have to agree with the folks who say this single is not so good.

  • FAIL! 

  • Appearantly they did this because they had 2 songs banned by the BBC just before this :D

    Bit of a pisstake then.

    Excellent!

  • @rockinkitten

    Not so...Give Ireland Back To The Irish was his 1st banned song...the next one...Hi Hi Hi...was released after this one, they flipped it over to the B side..

    C Moon...and it got to number 5.

  • this is not the real Paul Meccartney

    Also the song is altered

    The Mandoline player is also a double, come on

  • @overban888 yeah your right this isn't Paul Meccartney, it's Paul McCartney

  • @mattsmusicstudio are you joking to me?

  • This is just dreadful. He should be beaten with a sheep.

  • This song, apparently is Paul's tribute to Graham Bell's first recording in 1887, it was him reciting Merry had a little lamb. Bell improved Edison's invention, the phonograph and made it more commercially appealing. His recitation of Merry had a Little lamb was his first successful recording.

  • @traegerico

    Who the fuck is Merry ??

  • he sang to who..........

    out there, please give the answer

  • @karimmatlin i heard that it's for his daughter Mary

  • @Acipiha

    thank you, thank you !

  • @Acipiha I love you

  • This makes me infinitly happy. Only Paul could make a simple children's rhyme into a delicious, happy tune! GOD I love that man! xoxox

  • @jkababy exactly , that's what anybody who doesn't like this song is so horribly missing . it's the music , not the lyrics with paul . how can this just not make ya feel great when u hear it . then the key change before the last verse makes what's already a great song into an awesome song . ya have to be infinitely unhappy to not like it . you're right this is absolutely delicious .

  • PAUL ERES EL MÁS GRANDE!!!!

  • thats a stalker song..all nersery songs have a meaning..look it up

  • lalalalalalalala

  • This was written after the BBC banned Give Ireland Back To The Irish, Hi,Hi,Hi and ohter protest songs by Paul.. so he did a kids music album, nad it was beautiful. Paul also has done 3 classical music albums, a country album, a Celtic song, Reggae songs, and just about everything imaginable- he's so good at everything he does. Sir Paul = musical genius
