"Silly Love Songs" - Paul McCartney & Wings

"Silly Love Songs" is a song written and sung by Paul McCartney with his band Wings in 1976. McCartney had been often teased by John Lennon, a fellow member of The Beatles and music critics for writing lightweight, "silly love songs", and McCartney wrote this number in response. In addition, "Silly Love Songs" was McCartney's first foray into the then-popular disco sound, with his bass guitar taking a lead role against a steady disco-style drumbeat. As such it was the forerunner for other 1960s-era British musicians trying their hand at disco; examples that followed included The Rolling Stones' "Miss You" and Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?".

The song was included on the album Wings at the Speed of Sound as well as being released as a single, where it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK singles chart. It became not only one of the Wings' best-selling singles, but one of the best-selling singles of the 1970s.

I Love Paul and Hate John. Sorry Lennon, these songs are so much better than your Yoko garbage..

[desertburrito]

listening to this song reminds me of my ex gf who i still miss even tho she cheated on me...

@JeDaaRe1 come on. i dont claim that the "yoko garbage" was good music but you can't just throw away the good songs he wrote. and, the yoko garbage wasn't intended to be good music. it was intended to be "meaningful music".

it's not a praise if you have to put down another person to praise one.

BOTH men will FOREVER be music royalty & geniuses in their own right! It's just sad that 2 best friends let a female come between them. If he was truly honest John was probably listening to this song at night when he was alone.....& loving every minute!! -3 them BOTH!!

Lennon would have been proud.

Oh dear children don't argue, there's room for both and so much more,, depending on my mood determines what I listen to. John, Paul or George or Metallica, Maiden, Chopin, Bach, Neil Young, Annie Lennox we are a wash with beauty and talent in music.... only you can limit you.
