The song, the recording AND the bass playing are all excellent! Would've mixed the bass a bit differently though. All the other instruments sound mid 70s. The bass sounds mid 60s.
The bass line, the horn section, the violins, the overlapping singing, the hook after hook after hook, that smile on Asia’s face! And what’s wrong with that? Nothing! Great reaction!!!
In a Interview with John Lennon… The journalist asked John had he talked to Paul McCartney? John responded that Paul was off writing some Silly Love Songs. When Paul heard of the response from John, Paul intentionally wrote this song with John’s quote as the song title! Funny thing is that this song went on and out sold any of John’s songs at that time!!
@@dizastro5437 He was putting political statements in his songs, Mind games is about liberal and coservatives playing mind games and accomplishing nothing. Imagine says it all, John Sinclaire and pot legislation, attica state about the real crooks in our society, and the list goes on
@@elijahablaze While I agree Yoko Ono singing is the human equivalent of a broken fire alarm but John Lennon was not a hack who in the hell do you think wrote half of the Beatles songs and by the way Paul put out his fair share of crap songs himself.
Asia & BJ, his "Band On The Run" and "With A LIttle Luck" are next for you! This song was his response to John Lennon saying he wrote to many silly love songs! Paul is really killing that bass on this one.
It is but whenever I hear Wings, or Paul's solo stuff I think, "Now here is a guy who wasn't always allowed to put his sound as high as he wanted in the mix." I like it though. I hate any mix where you can't hear anything, and bass is too common a victim.
Paul McCartney & Wings "Silly Love Sings" is absolutely one of my favorite feel good songs of all time. One of the all time great classics for me. I also want to say how much I enjoy watching you reaction videos. You both are great! And just one little thing.... I wish you would've reacted to the video version, instead of the lyrical. I think you would've enjoyed it so much more!!
It is a really good video. You can clearly see the love he shared with Linda. And I agree with you as to it being a feel good song. One of the happiest songs ever made. I bought the album in the 9th grade and wore that thing out. lol Loved it.
“You can’t beat this feeling” great line BJ. When this came out we considered it cheese - thought Sir Paul lost his way as we rocked to the sex pistols and clash. As I age, I realize, Paul - and BJ - we’re right. Love is everything.
"Silly Love Songs" was a gigantic hit back when, quickly topping the charts to become the song of 1976. I heard it on the radio so often back then that merely reading the name can start the song playing in my head even now more than 45 years later -- that bass line, the melody, those harmonies, the horn riffs, the disco string arrangements. The first vinyl album I bought when I got a few years older was Wing's Greatest Hits, in part because of this song, as well as the others like "Band on the Run", "Live and Let Die", "Jet", "Junior's Farm" etc. More songs to put a smile on your face!
I was in elementary school in Guam when this song came out. My dad was stationed there. This song was on all the time and i had a love/hate for it! Brings back great memories.
The love story of Paul and Linda (RIP) was magical and tragic. The love songs he wrote to her are breathtaking. Once he went solo and formed “Wings” Linda became a band member, you can hear her in the background.
John Lennon said to Paul McCartney " Why do you write these silly love songs" and with that being said, Paul McCartney thought I'll show you and wrote this song! Lol Also check out Paul McCartney and the Wings - Band on the Run - Jet - Uncle Albert - Live and let Die - With a little Luck - Coming Up - My Love
I've never herd Pall say it but as a fan, from when I was 8 I would watch him on TV and go to any concert I was able to, I Always noticed that the Look he gave Linda Every time they did this song I suspect it was Him Speaking to Her. I absolutely Love this song. So many Wonderfully vivid memories of this Summer, It was a beautiful time for me.
Good one guys. Sounds of the 70's and Paul's reaction to critics, including John, that all he writes is silly love songs. What a great way to counter. He proves again that he is the king of melody and a master of the bass as a lead instrument. Bittersweet to hear Linda, his wife who passed away in the 90's, sing back up. Band on the Run, So Bad, What the Man Said, are other good examples of Paul's melodic genius.
Yes we need more songs like this. Songs that makes you feel good and has positive messages. That's why I love you guys. Always stay positive and making others feel happy. Much love to you ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Sir Paul laying down that groove on the bass and singing his heart out…being silly. Nothing better for a relationship! Thanks for the great reaction guys!
Wings suggestions: - Band on the Run - Live and Let Die - Jet - Let Me Roll It - Nineteen Hundred and Eighty Five - Mull of Kintyre - Junior’s Farm - Wild Life (a personal fav)
Add to this: Venus and Mars/Rock Show, Let ’em In, Say Say Say (duet with Michael Jackson), Pipes of Peace (amazing music video), Coming Up (another great music video), My Love, With a Little Luck...
Going to see Paul in May! I'm too excited he was my mom's absolutely favorite musician ever. She remembered crying when the Beatles were on Ed Sullivan Show when she was a little girl. Told me she first noticed my dad because he looked a bit like Paul Mccartney 😂 I exist partially because my mom had the biggest crush on him. Don't think I'll be able to make it through the entire concert without tearing up more than once.
I saw Wings live in concert the week this song hit # 1 on the charts back in 1976! Imagine an arena full of fans when the #1 song in the country is played live by the #1 group in the world at that time! Wow!
One brilliant thing about this song is the introduce each of those three different vocal lines along the way and then late in the song, two of them get combined in something like a round, and then by the end all three of them are interweaving like this wonderful jigsaw puzzle. It really is clever and it sounds good.
Yeah, I've been waiting for someone to do this one for a while. Probably my favorite Wings tune. Paul's base line in this is phenomenal. I see others already explained the meaning behind the song, John Lennon saying Paul is probably off writing some silly love song. Y'all still need to do "Jet", "Live And Let Die", "Band On The Run", "With A Little Luck", "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", "My Love" and "Let Him In". Thanks and God Bless.
Wings was a great band. It really almost helped fill the hole left when the Beatles broke up. It was a great comfort,that all of them released GREAT solo material.
Love all of Paul's work with the Beatles & solo with Wings. I had so many of his records. "Silly Love Songs" is on the album "Wings At The Speed Of Sound". They had so many great songs such as "Jet", Live & Let Die", "Listen To What The Man Said", "Band On The Run", "Let 'Em In", "My Love", "Helen Wheels", "Let Me Roll It", "Junior's Farm", "Maybe I'm Amazed", "Venus & Mars/Rock Show", "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey", "Mull Of Kintyre", "With A Little Luck" etc.
Some other great McCartney songs are: MY LOVE, LIVE AND LET DIE, LISTEN TO WHAT THE MAN SAID, BAND ON THE RUN, JET, LET ME ROLL IT, JUNIOR'S FARM and UNCLE ALBERT. So many more, as well.
this song is the decade of the 70s all rolled into a pop song...as a small child in the 70s ..that voice and those horns caught my ear ..in 76 that song was on hourly because it was a number 1 hit that summer...made me a lifetime fan of his ...literally the first song I remember catching my ear off the radio.
I love a love song, but when you're broken hearted, they turn the tears on, and sometimes are too much. I like that Paul McCartney turned a put down to a creative great song, best way to deal with it. 👏❤
Always liked this from when it came out. I'm 68 now and my main music in 1970s was The Who, Mott the Hoople, Bowie, punk. But this struck me as the most mature music - a realisation by a happily married man with young children that it's goid to be silly and say silly love stuff with your loved ones. His contemporaries and 'edgy' young people who mocked it just hadn't grown up.
I've loved this song since I was 8 yrs old in the mid 70's. The message and the music are beautifully executed. Towards the end of The Beatles as a group Paul had written a few love songs and John responded by saying no one wants to hear silly love songs anymore. He and Paul had an argument over that comment. When Paul started the band Wings with his wife Linda Silly Love Songs was one of the 1st songs he wrote and produced. The song ended up doing extremely well on the charts.
I’m 62, and this tune came out when I was in high school. Still a great song. It was in response to a flippant remark made by John Lennon, his former songwriting partner. Love seeing how timeless good music is
Before the 1970's, radio was only AM mono, then we got FM stereo, beautiful and clean with separate channels. This is one of the songs of my youth that I remember hearing in that clear pure sound. Paul was the most commercial solo artist of the former Beatles and was my Mom's favorite.
This song came out in 76 when I was just 5 yrs old, so I knew who Wings were before who Paul was as an individual or The Beatles as a group. I loved this song, Listen to What the Man Said and Coming Up. Because of MTV playing Coming Up and Ebony & Ivory, I learned who Paul McCartney was was!
You both are so RigHt!!!! This song can get you in your feels and feeling real good! I work at a Ralph's grocery store in Hollywood. Our store music is a mix of 70's, 80's, 90's, up to present day tunes and I noticed how the songs from the 70's made me feel good, very nostalgic and just made me appreciate 70's music like I never had. I've always been an 80's music baby (graduated high school in 1987). But the way the world is today and all the negative things and all the negative energy, that 70's music did something to me! ✌️❤️🙏
This song brings back memories.I was 12 years old and in 1978 I met this girl I got to know over the summer.My mom made me go to my grandmother out of town and she happened to leave that day to go back home in another state.I never got to tell her bye or never spike to her again.As we were going to my grandmother's that song came on.Everytime I hear that song I think about her.I knew what state she lived but never been able to get in touch with her.She was my first love.
I remember this song so well from the summer of '76. I was a 9yr old just getting into music of my own. Oh and it was the Bicentennial that year and Philidelphia Freedom was playing constantly! Where does the time go! ❤️ the reactions..... It is rather catchy!!
Mid-70’s …summertime …as a little kid …in the back of my parents Chevelle with my sisters …windows down …riding to a campground in NJ for the weekend …this (new) song playing on the radio …Dad tapping along with his wedding band against the door frame as he drives …Mom holding the map. Songs truly DO spark fond memories from long ago✨
First time hearing Paul Mccartney! Wow. You could spend a loooong time checking out his songs."Maybe I'm amazed", Live and let die, Band on the run, My love, and so many more
McCartney showing off his bass skills on this one..It's easy to forget just what a phenomenal bass player he is, with all his other talents..Incidentally, the song was written to answer critics, including John Lennon, and also Elvis (who, ironically, never wrote a single song of his own) that Paul wrote mostly love songs.
If my memory serves me right Paul's wife Linda played the Keyboards in this band and this song and that is her singing back at him in the song On the I Love You's
Love you both💗 Paul McCartney’s solo albums were great. This is such a lovely and heart lifting song. Wonderful sharing with you. At least that’s how I feel when I watch your reactions.🤗🤗💕
This is one of those songs that takes me way back to when I was little kid. It seemed like this was a song that was always on the radio when we were going somewhere in our folks' car. This and the other McCartney song when he says, "Sister Suzie, brother John." I have a sister named Suzie, and we used to look at each other when we heard that as little kids and say, "How does that radio man know about us?" 😅
Just so you know, Paul McCartney is touring the USA this summer. You still have a chance to see one of the Beatles live in concert. I've already got tix to the 2 shows at Fenway Park in Boston in June!
Speaking Of MUST HEAR Love Songs,, The Climax Blues Band "I Love You" Curtis Mayfield "So In Love" Billy Stewart "I Do Love You" Junior Walker & The All Stars "What Does It Take"
Ah, 1976. I can remember hearing this as a little kid in my parents car. I loved this song and would walk around singing, "I love yooooou," to nearly everyone I knew.
Ah that silly love song really takes me back to the 70's when I was just a kid but they played a lot of soft rock in those days it just sounds so good to my ears ...love it
Paul’s (tongue-in-cheek) answer to John’s snarky comment about his ex-partners writing cheesy love music. Paul being the pop maestro nailed it!! The song is groovy, gets the message across, and is infectious! Also constructed superbly, layered vocals at the end w/ Linda and Denny…just awesome! I remember when this song came out. My brothers made fun of it….by the end of summer, they were singing the damn song…C’mon Man! McCartney Rules.
Paul McCartney and Wings was his group after the Beatles and his late wife, Linda was part of this group! He wrote this song in response to critics who said he wrote silly love songs! Besides the hits with the Beatles and Wings he also had two big hit duets with Michael Jackson, The Girl Is Mine and Say Say Say…check them out! He was part of one of the best songwriting duos ever, along side of John Lennon for many of the Beatles’ hits! ❤️❤️
Paul's bassline is just sick. It drives the entire song.
His counterpoint is great!
Coming up live the concert for Kampuchea 1979
I’ll steal you’re line
The bass is sick
The song, the recording AND the bass playing are all excellent! Would've mixed the bass a bit differently though. All the other instruments sound mid 70s. The bass sounds mid 60s.
Hear hear !
He's the goat
The bass line, the horn section, the violins, the overlapping singing, the hook after hook after hook, that smile on Asia’s face!
And what’s wrong with that?
Nothing!
Great reaction!!!

Yeah, it was definitely a response to John.
NOT QUITE, John was asked about Paul's songs, and JOhn's response was "i think people have had enough of those silly love songs"
Lennon was too busy making political statements instead of music, imo.
@@dizastro5437 He was putting political statements in his songs, Mind games is about liberal and coservatives playing mind games and accomplishing nothing. Imagine says it all, John Sinclaire and pot legislation, attica state about the real crooks in our society, and the list goes on
@@arnoldalvarado8718 So in a way, this is another Lennon/McCartney song.
The magnitude of this man's talent is off the scale.I wish he could live forever.Still producing great music at 81!
Sweet song with a killer bass line ! This was Paul’s reply to John who said Paul only writes silly love songs
I was gonna say the same thing.
@@elijahablaze Disgraceful! What an appalling person you must be!
@@elijahablaze While I agree Yoko Ono singing is the human equivalent of a broken fire alarm but John Lennon was not a hack who in the hell do you think wrote half of the Beatles songs and by the way Paul put out his fair share of crap songs himself.
McCartney was an IMMENSE talent. Definitely the most talented Beatle
Actually it wasn't John, but some critics.
Asia & BJ, his "Band On The Run" and "With A LIttle Luck" are next for you! This song was his response to John Lennon saying he wrote to many silly love songs! Paul is really killing that bass on this one.
Great suggestions as usual @ surlechapeau !🥰❤🥳
@@juliewhite7469 thank you very much!!
That’s a great fun fact I did not know that that he was responding to Johns’s comment, always has a background to a song
Paul McCartney and the Wings - Band on the Run - Jet - Uncle Albert - Live and let Die - With a little Luck - Coming Up - My Love
@@Renkk17 The live version of COMING UP. Much better than the recorded version.
Bass line is bad ass....paul,was a monster on the bass....I’m gonna go pick up my bass right now
It is but whenever I hear Wings, or Paul's solo stuff I think, "Now here is a guy who wasn't always allowed to put his sound as high as he wanted in the mix." I like it though. I hate any mix where you can't hear anything, and bass is too common a victim.
maybe check out Band Maid's bassist MISA sometime ;)
IS.
Sic em brother! Make us a love song?
Inspired by his Motown idol, James Jamerson.

It is a really good video. You can clearly see the love he shared with Linda.

Sir Paul had a way with a song. This one is so light-hearted and fun. Musicality is top-notch. Best Beatle.
This tune reminds me of summer time. Drinking a cold beer under a shady tree back in the day. Good times.
Yes!
This was on the radio the entire summer of 74. I was ten and I remember it like it was yesterday. The carefree summers of the 70s, awesome time.
Home run!
Summer of ‘76, bicentennial year, and this song!
@@micv5149 Ok , 76…I’m getting old…awesome times.
The love story of Paul and Linda (RIP) was magical and tragic. The love songs he wrote to her are breathtaking. Once he went solo and formed “Wings” Linda became a band member, you can hear her in the background.
The best McCartney song is called My Love , the vocals are top notch and the guitar solo is phenomenal . I guarantee you will love it.
Such a completely overlooked masterful melodic bass line in this masterpiece !
whatever
His wife Linda is singing backup. ♥️♥️♥️
John Lennon said to Paul McCartney " Why do you write these silly love songs" and with that being said, Paul McCartney thought I'll show you and wrote this song! Lol
Also check out Paul McCartney and the Wings - Band on the Run - Jet - Uncle Albert - Live and let Die - With a little Luck - Coming Up - My Love
try 1985 on the band on the run album!
I have heard this song a million times and just now realized what a great arrangement this has.
The video is so sweet, him and Linda and the Wings band. You can see how much he and Linda loved each other.
Paul came up with some killer bass lines! ♥
With a Little Luck is another great Wings song and No more lonely nights is great Paul solo song! 🙂💕
With A Little Luck is one of the best pop songs of all time. Perfection.
No More Lonely Nights with a guest appearance by David Gilmour
I've never herd Pall say it but as a fan, from when I was 8 I would watch him on TV and go to any concert I was able to, I Always noticed that the Look he gave Linda Every time they did this song I suspect it was Him Speaking to Her. I absolutely Love this song. So many Wonderfully vivid memories of this Summer, It was a beautiful time for me.
Memories and tears. This is the song I would sing to my son when he was a baby. Never failed to calm him to sleep. Great song.
I love watching Asia's reaction when she hears those horns come in. Priceless.
Good one guys. Sounds of the 70's and Paul's reaction to critics, including John, that all he writes is silly love songs. What a great way to counter.

It makes me happy to see you enjoying music I grew up with and loved.
This is such an upbeat song. Paul McCartney is pure genius never a bad song ever done by him and his wife.
When it comes to Sir Paul, you can expect perfection EVERY time.
Yes we need more songs like this. Songs that makes you feel good and has positive messages. That's why I love you guys. Always stay positive and making others feel happy. Much love to you ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
... then try "Mammunia" from the album "Band on the run". In my opinon one of the fest "feel good" songs.
@@henningkallerhoff3967 thanks I will do that.
Sir Paul laying down that groove on the bass and singing his heart out…being silly. Nothing better for a relationship! Thanks for the great reaction guys!
Silly Love Songs was the Billboard Hot 100 number one song of the year in 1976.
GREAT bass line, incredible McCartney vocal and a big thank you to John Lennon. Love the “Ono” at the end.
Try their song
"Uncle Albert /Admiral Halsey".
It's kind of a similar
vibe, in my oppinion.
So good.

I think this is one of the best love songs ever. No flowery lyrics. Just straight forward I love you. I love this song. One of my all time favorites.

I'm so glad you found this song! It will always be in my Top 10 of ALL TIME. Such a Beautiful song! Thanks guys, we Love you both!
He is still playing these unbelievable bass lines while singing this live.
You're so right! We do need more love songs!
From His Solo Career,, Both Must Hear Classic Hits,, Ringo Starr "It Don't Come Easy" & "Photograph"

First time hearing Paul Mccartney! Wow. You could spend a loooong time checking out his songs."Maybe I'm amazed", Live and let die, Band on the run, My love, and so many more
GREAT song, great reaction! A song to match this is What the World Needs Now is Love Sweet Love!
This Classic Hit Song Would Start It's Own Dance,, Archie Bell & The Drells "Tighten Up"
That was so fun to watch. Thanks you guys! Loved all the reactions. Smiles right back atcha Asia :)
McCartney showing off his bass skills on this one..It's easy to forget just what a phenomenal bass player he is, with all his other talents..Incidentally, the song was written to answer critics, including John Lennon, and also Elvis (who, ironically, never wrote a single song of his own) that Paul wrote mostly love songs.
I have to tell you this song came out in 76, I was 4 when I first heard it ,I'm 49 now and the Horns made me love this song
This is Asia's song!
Thanks for always telling us you love us.
Paul and Linda: one of the greatest love stories ever.
If my memory serves me right Paul's wife Linda played the Keyboards in this band and this song and that is her singing back at him in the song On the I Love You's
Love you both💗
Paul McCartney’s solo albums were great. This is such a lovely and heart lifting song. Wonderful sharing with you. At least that’s how I feel when I watch your reactions.🤗🤗💕
Great Reaction. Check out the video version. Looks like a home video and anything that shows Paul and Linda is worth watching.
One of my favourite songs of all time....still have the single......and it still plays on the turntable.
What a nice relaxing song to listen to. It was such a great classic. "Maybe I'm Amazed" is another great one.
This is one of those songs that takes me way back to when I was little kid. It seemed like this was a song that was always on the radio when we were going somewhere in our folks' car. This and the other McCartney song when he says, "Sister Suzie, brother John." I have a sister named Suzie, and we used to look at each other when we heard that as little kids and say, "How does that radio man know about us?" 😅
Just so you know, Paul McCartney is touring the USA this summer. You still have a chance to see one of the Beatles live in concert. I've already got tix to the 2 shows at Fenway Park in Boston in June!
Gotta do Take it Away next. Love Paul McCartney. My Mom's favorite Beatle. RIP Mom. As a bass player myself, Paul is great.
Speaking Of MUST HEAR Love Songs,,
The Climax Blues Band "I Love You"
Curtis Mayfield "So In Love"
Billy Stewart "I Do Love You"
Junior Walker & The All Stars "What Does It Take"
Paul McCartney =a beautiful man, inside and out! Brilliance!!!
That's the tune I encountered the bass guitar for the first time it's pure enchanting like Asja said
Ah, 1976. I can remember hearing this as a little kid in my parents car. I loved this song and would walk around singing, "I love yooooou," to nearly everyone I knew.
I had totally forgotten about that lovely song! Thank you for the flashback!
Ah that silly love song really takes me back to the 70's when I was just a kid but they played a lot of soft rock in those days it just sounds so good to my ears ...love it
Paul’s (tongue-in-cheek) answer to John’s snarky comment about his ex-partners writing cheesy love music. Paul being the pop maestro nailed it!! The song is groovy, gets the message across, and is infectious! Also constructed superbly, layered vocals at the end w/ Linda and Denny…just awesome! I remember when this song came out. My brothers made fun of it….by the end of summer, they were singing the damn song…C’mon Man! McCartney Rules.
Check out the live version on Wings Over America. You can admire Paul’s great bass playing.
I love the live version of this song. And I have seen Paul perform this song live more than once.
Probably my favorite Paul McCartney and Wings song! You should do "Live and Let Die" next.
I love when Paul layers melodies on top of each other. He does it in some of his songs with the beatles. I just think its so creative.
John Lennon once remarked that all Paul wrote were silly love songs. This was his reply. And his bass ! OMG!
People can't be that sick of Silly Love Songs this song went straight to number 1
Paul McCartney and Wings was his group after the Beatles and his late wife, Linda was part of this group! He wrote this song in response to critics who said he wrote silly love songs! Besides the hits with the Beatles and Wings he also had two big hit duets with Michael Jackson, The Girl Is Mine and Say Say Say…check them out! He was part of one of the best songwriting duos ever, along side of John Lennon for many of the Beatles’ hits! ❤️❤️
One thing about Paul, he LOVED his wife Linda...she's the backup on this song. I love the horns too! Great feel good song!!❤
E
"If There's A Cure For This,, I Don't Want It,, Don't Want It"..Diana Ross "Love Hangover"..A HUGE Hit For Her.
The world needs more silly love songs
