One Paul McCartney song is a disjointed mess about water and food and freedom. Here is how the track in question compares to Paul's other post-Beatles hits.

One Paul McCartney song is a disjointed mess about water and food and freedom. It’s not surprising that the “Say Say Say” singer wrote an oddball song. What’s surprising is that the track reached No. 1 in the United States. Here is how the track in question compares to Paul’s other post-Beatles hits.
1 Paul McCartney song won’t make sense no matter how many times you hear it

If you look at the list of Paul’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits, you’ll see an interesting mix of songs. Some are perfectly normal, easy-listening songs, like “My Love” and “Ebony and Ivory.” Other tunes on the list are a tad experimental, such as “Band on the Run” and “Coming Up.” However, only one of the tracks on the list is bizarre on every level: “Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.”
