“Maybe I’m Amazed”
Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
Check My Machine!!
Dub bass, funky banjo, and an early drum machine loop.
“Coming Up,” “Hi Hi Hi,” “Beautiful Night,” “Ever Present Past,” “Maybe I’m Amazed,” “Band on the Run,” “Silly Love Songs”… How do you pick just one!?! Those are all mys favorites! But out of all of them… I think I’ll just go with “Maybe I’m Amazed.” I hope to use it in my wedding :0)
MRS. Vandebilt!!! HO HEY HO!
“The Back Seat of My Car.” We believe that we can’t be wrong!!!
jet, is my fav..no. two coming up
Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey ♥
Maybe I’m Amazed still amazes me.
My love/The Mess!
My wife walked down the aisle during our wedding to my groomsmen playing “Ram On” on ukeleles. I will never forget this moment in my life and a “Ram On” special edition re-release would be the perfect anniversary gift!
Waterfalls/Check my Machine
Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five
Another Day
Dear Boy
“The Backseat of My Car”…but all of “Ram” is a desert-island disc…
Another Day is my favorite Macca single…right now….at this very moment……
Thanks for the opportunity – LOVE RAM!
House Of Wax!!!!
Medley: Hold Me Tight/Lazy Dynamite/Hands of Love/Power Cut!!!
Listen to What the Man Said. Duh…
I’ll have to go with I Can’t Imagine from Off The Ground: The Complete Works. It helped me out a lot in life! :)
I’m torn between tracks (I guess it’s cheating a bit) – Two from the amazing “Tug of War” album, Here Today and What’s That You’re Doing… Little Lamb Dragonfly from “Red Rose Speedway… and a B-side called Girls’ School
My very FAVORITE Paul McCartney song will always be ‘Michelle’. But if I have to pick a fav from this album, it’s ‘Maybe I’m Amazed’!
I’ve been a fan since I was 11 years old! Six decades!
How tough is this…..hmmm…..”Tug of War”
“Maybe I’m Amazed” single from 1977, taken from the 1976 live album Wings Over America.
Hi Hi Hi
I am your singer. (it’s not a single, so the other one would be Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five)
My favorite single would have to be Let ‘em In/ Beware my Love from 1976.
Let ‘em In is such a great song to listen to. The piano plays in such a powerful way that demands the attention of the listener. The lyric, while simple in nature, goes hand in hand with the melody to produce a very nice sound. The trombone solo is performed well, and echoes the melody perfectly. My favorite part in the song is during the bridge when Paul sings “let ‘em in” with the piano playing eight notes. It sounds very surreal.
Beware my Love is also an amazing song. I enjoy that it starts out soft and calm, than it bursts into a heavy rocker. While the lyrics of Let ‘em In were simple, Beware my Love is more in depth. The singer sings about protecting his love from someone that will break her heart. That gets very deep. My favorite part is the melody of two tones of an F and a G. It is very soothing to hear, and it is another one of Paul McCartney’s greatest.
Picking just one single is incredibly tough… But ultimately I have to go with Too Many People.

Sorry the first one wasn’t from Facebook.
“Listen to What the Man Said” :)
One of my favorites (and there are many!) is definitely “Little Lamb/Dragonfly” – a lovely song with great instrumentation. :)
Live and Let Die :)
Doh….just re-read and realized it’s favorite singles, not favorite songs. Tough to choose, but my favorite is “No More Lonely Nights.”
Here Today. Such a beautiful song!! <3
oh wait, My favorite Single would have to be Silly Love Songs. I should probably read things more thoroughly ;)
Maybe I’m Amazed. The Wings Over America version.
Maybe I’m Amazed!
B-side “Ode to a Koala Bear”.
When asked what my favorite single of McCartney/ wings is, i couldn’t help but kind of laugh…
because, you can’t really put a single up higher than another….but if i HAD to choose, i’d probally go with “Give Ireland back to the Irish”, since it has such a daring motive.
Helen Wheels!!!
Ram On!
For Wings it has to be Wth A Little Luck, for overall I have to say Calico Skies – pure genius!
C Moon!
“The Backseat Of my Car”…Best song
Band on the Run!!!
On Ram it has to be “Too Many People”. Overall, I would pick “Maybe I’m Amazed”. Tough question, so many to choose from.
My favorite Wings single is “Getting Closer”!
Between Maybe I’m Amazed, My Love, or Live and Let Die…I’d probably have to go with my favorite as Maybe I’m Amazed. Such a beautiful song!
“Maybe I’m Amazed”…it’s just too perfect in every way!
“Another Day” Jsh jsh jsh jsh jsh….
Almost anything that comes out of Paul is fantastic, but “Maybe I’m Amazed” for a touching love song and “Jet” simply because it does rock. I’ve been a fan since I was 13 y/o and will continue to be a fan at the ripe age of 61.
Ram is my favorite Paul album…I guess Heart of the Country would be my favorite song!
“Rainclouds” … great vibe on that one …
Live and let die
I can only pick one???
Monkberry Moon Delight
If we’re limited to singles:
Solo stuff – Uncle/Albert/Admiral Halsey
Wings – Let Me Roll It
Jet

Band On The Run
Mull of Kintyre
I am the Walrus
Too Many People
Spin it on
Live and Let Die
There are so many! Im going to have to say, at this moment, it would have to be Highway! Its a great piece of work!
I saw him “Too Many People” at Madison Square Garden in 2005 – since then, this Side 1 Track 1 is solo Mac at his best.
*saw him play
Band on the run
Maybe I’m Amazed
Such a tall order!! So many great songs to choose from!
If I must choose, my favorite Paul McCartney solo is:
“Maybe I’m amazed at the way you pulled me out of time
And hung me on a line
Maybe I’m amazed at the way I really need you”
…from my favorite Wings single, “Maybe I’m Amazed.”
Maybe I’m Amazed and Jet fo sho
Live and let die hands down! :D
The Lovely Linda
because Linda was such a wonderful person!
With a Little Luck
Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
Wow, that’s tough. Too many to choose from. Today it’s Hi Hi Hi and it’s b-side, C Moon.

MONKBERRY MOON DELIGHT! my hair is a tangled beretta!! Cats and kittens!

Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
Jet!
Let ‘em In – the first Paul McCartney song I ever heard, I think even before the Beatles. I was a toddler, I think, so it left a huge impression.
Ram On.
Nineteen Hundred & Eighty-Five
Love Is Strange
Band on the Run
Getting Closer from Back to the Egg – it’s a hidden gem!
I love “Love take me down to the streets” It’s one of their hits from the 70′s.
Arrow Through Me
Tomorrow from “Wildlife”
Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five
Hi,hi,hi
If it’s strictly a single you’re after, my favorite — at least today — is “Goodnight Tonight.” The 12-inch version is even better, if only because it’s longer! Some good runners-up would include “Getting Closer,” “Take It Away,” “This One,” “Junior’s Farm” and the live version of “Maybe I’m Amazed.”
