Two good songs!...I enjoyed them!
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:WINGS "mary had a little lamb" b/w "little woman love" 1972
McCartney and Wings had just had their previous two singles banned by the BBC.."give ireland back to the irish" with its pro-irish political messages,not neccessarily pro IRA,but pro-irish...and "hi hi hi" with its sex and drug lyrics...!
Macca litterally spat the metaphoric dummy and recorded this children's nursey rhyme and said "lets see them ban this then!"...obviously they couldnt, i guess he thought he was above censorship being an ex-Beatle" and should be allowed to flaunt the rules and expect do be able to get away with anything!
ya know what, i do like this version of that nursey rhyme...i love the "b" side though which by all accounts had been hanging around for a couple of years but didnt fit on any album up to that point...
single did chart here peaking at #17
