[wickedglamour]

thumbs up if the video seek bar is a snowflake....=)

[DaveWollenberg]

Jeff James, when he still had his 'Saturday night live at the '70s' show, on WWYW-FM, played this 1, often.

[therainlover4ever]

Yes! no dislikes, i'm proud!

[sageofdragons12]

Toad: Magneto, were've you been?

Magneto: I met a fine fellow named Titanium man. We robbed a bank with the help of a sneaky devil called the Crimson Dynamo and a random singer named Paul McCartney who sang about us the the whole time. I must say, I had a great time. I just might do it again.

[trogwolf]

my favorite song by Wings on my favorite album by them.

[Sapardi]

I love this song! It inspires me to watch super hero movies every time I listen to it!

[tommytimp]

I believe it's "We went to town with the LIVERY," as in car and driver. But other than that, well done and thanks.

[tjstevens74]

Holy cow... I was a Marvel fan back in my elementary/high school days (80's and 90's) and then took a 15 year hiatus until about 3 years ago, and I've never heard of this song. LMAO, THIS IS SOME GOOD STUFF!! o.O Thank you PM/W and migaraphael... this just went in the 'favorites'. ;}

[centralparocker]

Dynamite song!!!!

[sallyg270]

My mum bought me this Record Last week :D

[hotmn4u]

@sallyg270 a cd or an LP? LOl I have the LP

[sallyg270]

@hotmn4u LP :D ive been collecting Wings lp's ive got 5 (Not very many..but its a start lol)

[hotmn4u]

@sallyg270 I had everyone of them, including the 45's juniors farm and sally g.

[sallyg270]

@hotmn4u Ive got that single too, aive got quite a few beatles and wings singles. There hard to find now i guess, Wish i wasnt born in the 50's to grow up with that music but no i was born in the 90's D:

[ROVINATO]

It starts like ooooh you make me feel....from Queen, but about 3 years before

[9KPhalak]

Been a long time, since I heard this one. Forgot how good it is.

[bluebeatlesboy]

That is what happens when you smoke too much dope- this song is a mess

[conmaesta]

@bluebeatlesboy One of Paul`s best songs....This just shows Macca`s character man...

[Ebonyivorymusic]

Nice song. The studio version. Reminds me a small tad of Rockey Raccoon idea.

Comic Book - I guess it works as that too. That comic book image. Not sure but I do like the interplay on vocals/backing and the story line of the song. Wayne

[cacaman3000]

was a there a certain reason mccartney decided to have some marvel in his songs? lol

[zkxv]

And the Crimson Dynamo came along for the ride !

[solentgreen2020]

i still have venus & mars on vinyl

[9KPhalak]

@solentgreen2020 Me too!

[freddiemercury94]

what a song, most underrated in Paul's catalogue

[DonTrustZepHaters]

I love Paul, getting into comics lately introduced me to this song...

[Imaxination1980]

This, "Letting Go" and "Medicine Jar" are my favorite cuts on "Venus and Mars". Great album, needs more recognition.

[EddieTheLightbringer]

The multiple Marvel references are geek-out. Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo and Magneto. Just... wow.

[RaysTrack]

those harmonies are as good as post Pet Sounds Beach Boys.

[dromet100]

One fun, upbeat go of a song, If this song doesn't pick you up and get you going, check for pulse.

[Goldensea234]

this song rocks my world

[fullblowngenius]

Clever little man.....

[yaywhewclips242]

the LIVE version posted has so much more energy and is wonderful. Wings played in Toronto in 1976 right? Too young to go (I was 10).

[victorecr1992]

very funny the song

[pringzordemott]

no you aint

[TheMrosin]

Paul sounds like he's having a blast with this. Great song.

[robertxtra]

Crazy good song!

[KingHopeMusic]

Hahahaha...cooool!!! Learned this song YEARS ago when I played in a "cover" band. I kinda look a bit like Paul (especially back then..haha) so that was a bit of our "shtik". This song was a HUGE crowd fave...upbeat and happy. Great post!! ~KK

[makcenzie]

FUCK YES!!!!!  I'm so drunk. LOVE THIS!

[1963Pure]

Live on "Wings over america" is better, more energy!

[shelbyfin]

I wish Paul would eat bacon. Oh well, more for me. Love his Wings music.

[RickyGervaisFreak]

I just can't get enough of Paul McCartney! This song is just absolutely brilliant!!

[mchllemay]

@RickyGervaisFreak I love the comments by you and Thebestbuddy1986 both of you have a good knowledge of mid 70's rock. This was one of my favorite LP's and I still have the LP on vinyl. Graduated HS in 1976, LP release in 1974-1975.

[RickyGervaisFreak]

@mchllemay Why thank you mate, hahaha I haven't even graduated High School yet! I am going into tenth grade and I see.

[moonchild0204]

Love this tune! Thanks :)

[crazziejoe]

i'm tired of denny laine getting no respect for wings' success!! name one hit paul's had since denny left in '79?

[Thebestbuddy1986]

@crazziejoe In fact, Denny collaborated in Tug Of War. Besides that, I agree that he was the only real help he got in Wings.

Paul had various hits after Wings: Coming Up, Tug of War, Ebony and Ivory, Pipes of Peace, Say, Say, Say, No More Lonely Nights, Figure of Eight, Hope of Deliverance, Off The Ground, C'mon People, Flaming Pie, Calico Skies, Driving Rain, Fine Line, Follow Me, Dance Tonight, Sing The Changes.

[PaulDeadJohnAlive]

@crazziejoe LOL!!! No more lonely Nights, Jenny Wren, Young boy, Hope and Deliverance, Waterfalls, Tug of War, Take it Away, Here today, Pipes of Peace, Say say say, Press, My Brave Face, Put it there, Figure of eight, Beautiful Night, C'mon People, Off the ground, Sing the changes, Fine Line, English Tea, Ever Present Past, Driving Rain, Sing the changes

[crazziejoe]

@PaulDeadJohnAlive not one of those were hits. just popular with mccartney/beatle fans. you, however, did not mention the song 'so bad' which is one of my favorites.

[drystyx]

I don't know the comic book, i think it was iron man, but I once saw the actual cover of the comic book which featured all 3 characters.

But really, doesn't anyone else think this has to do with the big feud? I mean, Paul seems to be lampooning John, who doesn't listen to either Magneto (Paul) or Titanium Man (Ringo), and not even his usual roommate Crimson Dynamo (George)

[gt40f]

McCartney was at his peak on this album. It's better than the Beatles, more evolved.

[nubbs]

holy shit, belle and sebastian did use this for boy with the arab strap

[uhhuhhhh]

RIP Lovely Linda

[conmaesta]

WTF why isn't macca up there with the most creative bass players of all time??? Crazy, creative technically perfefect wtf more does anyone want.

[rifleviejo]

Is the woman mentioned in this song supossed to be the black widow?

[puzleman1]

Why I have Great respect for paul......is because he kept going with songs good or bad he kept going, knowing the public had different taste..he was the go getter of the Beatles, and thats why he keeps going.....

[edscars]

Always wondered what the lyrics referred to on this tune. Now I know it's referring to comic characters, thanks! Love the line about the five-star criminal breaking the code...reminds me of a woman Paul was close to...

[FlamingoKicker]

Back in the mid-70s Marvel Comics was trying some unique ways to expand their comic characters to a wider audience. Apparently there were talks with McCartney over possibly making a Wings comic book or something but nothing much came from it.

Marvel did work extensively with KISS on a comic project though.

[Spanglemaker42]

Yay!

[migaraphael]

Underrated album

[Trevornator]

@migaraphael

Actually it wasn't underrated. Alot of people think this is his second best solo album. Band on the Run was first!

[strangeworldofgames]

@migaraphael You're not wrong there got this at the weekend love this song

[mdelair420]

but when the crimson dynamo asured me well i knew.pauls vocals are so great on this song just love it,and the lyrics have to make u smile thanks paul.

[cjdiazof3]

my fav is wings at the speed of sound

[joelcoates]

Always thought Wings was an improvement on the Beatles.

[bomac10000]

Your drinking

[conmaesta]

You must be a kid.

[snoogans999]

@joelcoates you thought wrong

[Paulmancieri67]

I have always preffered this album over Band on the Run. I find it to be front to back an excellent record with some great songs and a great vocal performance from Macca himself. Love it.

[bluntforce86]

really glad i discovered this song recently! wings was a well oiled machine by this point!

[djminimoto]

Venus and Mars is one of my favorite Wings albums.

[ArgonSpyder]

@bluntforce86

Was that pun intended?

[erodog]

Thanks for this, man.
