Band on the Run by Paul McCartney & Wings
“The first song that ever stopped me in my tracks. I remember it was opening day of fishing season, April 1974, AM radio, 5 AM and I refused to get out of the car until the song finished.”

Well the rain exploded with a mighty crash, as we fell into the sun

Many memories of my dad playing this album on his 8-track (Google it, kiddies) in the car whilst we drove over the UK on family holidays. Re-listened to the rest of the album recently and it's not aged well, but this is still a good track..

Another random radio track
Because apparently, there are still humans who have no idea of the brilliance of this (you have to listen to the whole song).

I guess everyone knows this song is Paul's comment on the fame of The Beatles (perhaps the greatest pop band ever), and I think it's one of his best independent efforts with Wings, along with 'Jet' which I love, for some reason ... namely wacky lyrics. Continuing with my nostalgic theme from Steely Dan 70-80's and picking up with WINGS. (Original release video)
