Jim Adams is our host for Song Lyric Sunday today. Jim says:
We gather here today for another episode of SLS Helen Vahdati’s This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time Song Lyric Sunday. The prompt this week is “Ocean/Sea/Lake/Bay”, which should make for some interesting posts.
Should you care to have some fun and pick a song for this prompt,
Here are the “rules”:
- Post the lyrics to the song of your choice, whether it fits the theme or not.
- Please try to include the songwriter(s) – it’s a good idea to give credit where credit is due.
- Make sure you also credit the singer/band and if you desire you can provide a link to where you found the lyrics.
- Link to the YouTube video, or pull it into your post so others can listen to the song.
- Ping back to this post will eventually work, as long as you are being patient.
- Read at least one other person’s blog, so we can all share new and fantastic music and create amazing new blogging friends in the process.
- Feel free to suggest future prompts.
- Have fun and enjoy the music.
I was 13 when this song came out. I like the way it changes things up. Lots happening in this song, special effects and vocals. It really surprised me to see this is a Paul McCartney song, not a Beatles song. I remember when Wings had their time in the sun. They had a lot of good hits!
Wikipedia says: “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey” is a song by Paul and Linda McCartney from the album Ram. Released in the United States as a single on 2 August 1971, it reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on 4 September 1971, making it the first of a string of post-Beatles, McCartney-penned singles to top the US pop chart during the 1970s and 1980s. Billboard ranked the song as number 22 on its Top Pop Singles of 1971 year-end chart. It became McCartney’s first gold record as a solo artist.

I thought when I first heard this song- and also Band On The Run- that each song- was two songs- in both songs its kind of like The Beatles A Day In The Life- it sounds like two different songs sliced together. Especially Band On The Run- I thought it was strange that they always played those two songs back to back.. after a while I figured out it was one song…

Not sure what one particular sound in there is but I love it! It comes between “we’re so sorry” [sound] “uncle albert”.

I always loved the sound effects in this song and there is something in it that reminds me of Yellow Submarine.

George is my favorite former Beatle, but Paul in Wings was very very good :)
