--------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:PJVillanueva
It seems that Paul wrote the song in the late 70's and
performed it with Wings on 1979, but he didn't release
it until his "solo" album, McCARTNEY II (1980), when he
di it as a single with the live version, recorded with
Wings during a concert in Glasgow in 1979 , as B side.
DJs began playing the live version and it was that which
hit number one. Paul & Linda are the only people in the
video and play all the band members roles (Paul adopted
the looks of, Buddy Holly, Frank Zappa and Ginger Baker
among others and also a 1964 Beatle version of himself.
It was a number one hit in the UK for two weeks from the
31st May 1980.
