Has anybody heard this Christmas tune from Paul McCartney?  It was the B-side to Wonderful Christmastime from 1979.  The A-side has been played continuously (along with Lennon's Happy X-Mas (War Is Over)), but I don't think they've ever played the B-side for Rudolph the Red Nosed Reggae.

As a side-note, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonderful_Christmastime) Wikipedia mentions that George Harrison had offered a holiday song during his solo career, but it doesn't mention the name.

Ding dong, ding dong.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

Lol! That amused me.

Although the song sucks, i'm more surprised people havent heard it before.

Man, i'm getting old.

They've played on the radio at Christmastime?  If not, then I would think the only way people would have heard it is if they bought the Single, on which it was the B-side.

I am sure a lot of people have heard it on the radio @ Christmastime...they just don't know who sings it.


"Wings IV introduced Jimmy McCulloch, a spunky lead guitarist with grit, able to spur Paul on unlike any previous soloist. His debut track, the magnificent single `Junior's Farm', stands as one of Wings' finest emotional and technical releases."

"Few people on this planet know as much about Jimmy's musical history than you."

I quite like Bip Bop Link (short though), Lunch Box Odd Sox, Cuff Link, Walking In The Park With Elois, Bridge On The River Suite..
Wings-wise anyways.
