Just been reading the credits for  " We All Stand Together " it's a Paul McCartney / George Martin arrangement and was recorded in 1980 but not released until 1984 . The Orchestra leader is Kenneth Sillito .
Did'nt know George Martin was involved in the arrangement , now i know why the orchestration sounds so lush , it's Mr Martin working his magic

One that's not on this list, but has a high C.T. (cringeworthy titer) IMO is "Cook of the House". Same album as Silly Love Songs. Used to make a friend of mine apoplectic even to talk about it, much less hear it.

'Silly Love Songs' - although I dont find anything cringeworthy about it.

I don't know, but I think he's got songs much more cringe worthy than any of those. Is it fair to compare songs that were written/recorded for children though? Those are always going to come off as corny. Silly Love Songs however is a great catchy uplifting tune. It's a little dated now, but at the time no one thought it was out of place. The only thing about it that makes me cringe  are Linda's backing vocals. God I hate that part with a passion.

paul mccartny wrote marry had a little lamb? YIKES THATS HORRIBLE

Mary Had a Little Lamb existed long before Paul McCartney ever did. He didn't write it but he was just silly enough to record it. Well, I guess he wrote the tune. Except for that Phantom of the opera part. The music actually isn't bad. If you can make Mary Had a Little Lamb into a catchy pop song you're a freaking genius. And it is catchy. Plus, when you know why he put it out it becomes much less corny and actually sort of cool. Cringe worthy would be the matching orange jump suits they're wearing in the video and Linda playing bongos.


You know, up until about five minutes ago I thought the line went: whose feet were white as snow. I can't believe it took me this long to make the connection to fleece. DUH! Shows how much thought I put into that song though.

Don't feel bad; nothing about it suggests Paul put much thought into it either.

I could add somemore if you would  like to give me some suggestions ? " Biker Like An Icon " and the annoying " Temporary Secretary " spring to mind ?
I think children gringe just as much as adults Sandra , parents often embarrass their kids with their goofiness i used to run for the hills when Dad got up to dance at weddings lol

If I remember rightly 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' was McCartney's response to having 'Give Ireland Back to the Irish' banned by the BBC. So of course, afterwards he promptly gets banned again for 'Hi Hi Hi'.

The BBC were such twits in the 70's banning Paul and letting Lou Reed through with " Walk On The Wildside " the old duffer's  just did'nt get Lou's very risgue song

There's an awful lot of stuff that got through, due to the fact that they just didn't understand. They banned George Fornby's 'With My Little Ukelele In My Hand', but not Chuck Berry's 'My Ding-A-Ling'.

"Pipes of Peace" would get my vote for being Paul's most cringe-provoking single. It wouldn't be the "best" of them, though; just the one most likely to make me blow lunch.  

I can't add anymore sorry i forgot about the 24 hour deadline .
I like  " Pipes Of Peace " Geoff and i love the video , it's his only solo # 1 in the UK . The album stinks though the title track and  " So bad " are the only two good songs for me on that album .

" The Other Me " with this lyric really makes me cringe from the album :

I know i was a crazy fool
For treating you the way i did
But something took hold of me
And i acted like a dustbin lid

What a corker lyric  from the man who wrote " Hey Jude "

Quoted from DaveRam

yes, quite poor lyrics in the macca department there.

Dustbin lid! They must have used the vocal track with dummy lyrics by mistake.  

"So Bad" is nice, though.
