First released: 1976
At the time of release, this song was really ridiculed. I happen to like it and it along with "Let 'Em In" are the two real highlights of the otherwise lame "Wings at the Speed of Sound". It was a hit single anyway. It also appears on 1978’s "Wings Greatest", 1987’s "All The Best" and 2001’s "Wingspan". A live version was performed and released on "Wings Over America" in 1976. This is one of the songs McCartney chose to remake in an inferior version for "Give My Regards to Broad Street" in 1984.

You know how I always dig a well done cover (or a real massacre, but that's a different matter). I would point you to Red House Painters' album Songs for a Blue Guitar which contains an 11min+ version of this (as well as covers of All Mixed Up and Long Distance Runaround). Not sure which of the covers got them booted off 4AD - might have been the combo. A version here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQms9_rr3lg&feature=related
