Six O’Clock by Ringo Starr – **

First released: 1973

For me, the dullest song off of "Ringo". Paul composed this and it sounds like a throwaway after you listen to the "Live and Let Die" single and "Red Rose Speedway" and "Band on the Run" albums from Paul, all issued the same year. Poor Ringo. At least Paul pushed for Ringo to issue "You’re Sixteen" as a single instead of this boredom. Fortunately, the drab song was shortened for final album release, but if you want to hear the original length, all you need to do is turn to the 1992 CD reissue of Ringo’s "Goodnight Vienna". The extra minute and a half does nothing. I don't know if there is a Paul demo of this song. I haven't heard it.
