The Beatles Top 60 Solo Songs- #55- “C’Moon”- Wings.
“C’ Moon” was a part of the double A’s sided single “Hi! Hi! Hi!/ C’ Moon”- While “Hi! Hi! Hi! went to #10 on the Billboard Hot 100- C’ Moon” didn’t chart. “C’ Moon” did get a lot more airplay in the UK because “Hi! Hi!Hi!” was banned in the UK and peaked at #5 on the UK Singles Chart. The song didn’t appear on any album at that time. I had read about the song in the first Beatles book I ever bought- “The Beatles- An Illustrated Record” by Roy Carr–and it sounded like a song I needed to hear- and knowing it wasn’t on an album- I found and bought the single.
“C’ Moon” is credited to Paul and Linda McCartney. It was released as a Wings single in December 1972. The music has a reggae beat. Paul has said that the lyric was inspired by the 1960’s hit “Wooly Bully”- where that song speaks of a square person being L-7- “C Moon” was meant by Paul to be the opposite.
one of my favorite early wings songs. such an underrated song.
Good song that you don’t hear that much…
Off Topic… The offense for the Dodgers should be ok this year.
They are stacked now after making that trade. I wonder how Price will go- maybe a change of leagues- and teams will help- Dodger Stadium is a good place to pitch.
Yes and they are still under the tax cap which surprises me. From the reports…Boston is paying half of Price’s salary. I’m excited for this…not everyday you can get a top 5-10 player.
and its possible they can sign him long term I would think.
They won’t go crazy but I’ve read where that is the plan.
First time hearing it. It has that Sgt. Pepper sound to it but at the same time like something that could be on a children’s album. Great little song.
I remember hearing C Moon on the radio, so I’m surprised it didn’t chart. It was one of my favorites from Wings, but long forgotten until I heard it recently; I think when Denny Laine posted it on Facebook.
