McCartney, Paul - Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey Lyrics

be a gypsy get around

Sheer genius

Love it

hey there uncle albert thx. youi know who you are.

One of my personal favorites.

I do love William Shepherd. Never met the fella. Also fan of Linda.... love to know story cfx

LOL...I LOVE THIS SONG, REMINDS ME OF MY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS...FRANK GARY, MIKEAND THE LADIES ROSIE NANCY AND THE TWINS DIANE N BECKY ..LOVE YOU GUYS STILL AFTER. 50 YRS ..

Only Fools And Horses brought me here

Fucking five songs in one. Beautiful. Paul is a genius

The chief WS cfx

Sounds just as good in 2020 as it did back then!

This would have been on the next Beatles album I'll bet!

I grew up in the 70's and Wings was in the charts every other week so it seemed and each song was very catchy.. I listen to the songs now and I go into a state of nostalgia .. Just brings back memories of the times when I was a kid and the people around me. I watch all the latest concerts even though Sir Paul is advancing in years, not being rude but I have to say thank you Sir Paul, I'm proud of being born in 67 and listening to such wonderful music!!!

That poor ram

Yes sir. Thank Christ for Sir Paul McCartney. God Bless 🙏🙏

Paul or Billy?

Hands across the water - water - hands across the sky!

This tune brings back so many memories, so many years.

I believe Paul, dead or alive, was spoken to.

The begining of solo greatness after completely changing the entire world as the greatest group the likes of will never be seen on this earth again. If that makes sense

B Side Abbey Road Mix Continued at fine pace.Harrrr

There's no one left at home and i believe I'm gonna rain? Wha?? This is the most ridiculous song ever conceived by a Beatle.

We're so sorry Uncle Andy...sorry, just a sly dig at Prince Andrew there

This is really a sack of shit song...some people starved for Beatles music...number 1 in 1971?

The roads have been paved

Thank you William ,

3:27 is Paul giving love up for the Beach Boys.

this song calms me down

I love the pics of Paul and Linda. She was such a special gal. RIP Linda..

❤️👐❤️

Brilliant..listen to to it most days....!!!

classic

We were so extremely lucky back then 70's FM radio was just out, Playing all these various classics then, 5 minutes later you would have the Temptations Ball of Confusion followed by Glen Campbell Witchita Line Man followed by The Rolling Stones Brown Sugar followed by Englebert Humperdink Last Waltz, We were all so blessed then to have a realm of knowledge of all various genres of Music, Today! Everything is regulated & in it's own file or box

Paul undeniably is the Worlds Greatest Song Writer ever............

This record is a masterpiece.

Curious...why do musicians need women sitting with them all the time. This would be a good sociological study.

Thank god Brian Epstien found George Martin

That's ok.

Thank you Sir Paul for 3:15 to 3:17

Butter wouldn't melt so I put in the pie 😋 add water 😂

What is that sound at 1:16.... I don't know.... but its perfect

God bless Linda.

Then question is, who knows the black triangles and are they all insane

Wtf!!!! Talk about a master !!

I first had this album age 15 in summer of 71 !

This guys good... he's definitely going places with that voice...

My dad loved to reference this tune. Radio broken ?

At 2:19 the little horn part just makes me imagine a bunch of clips of the Beatles doing god knows what god knows where even though this is Paul and only Paul’s song 😂

I literally think of "giving it all away..." at least 12 times a day...

Was he using a bullhorn?... "We're so sorry, Uncle Albert.."

I thought nostalgia had lost its taste but here it is fresh as new.

Great talent, and wonderful memories.
I'm sorry to all this offends, but it's NOT the original Paul McCartney.
The imposter's name is William Shears Campbell
Paul was killed in 1966, and Billy Shears took Paul's place in 1967.
Very talented- but none of the others could stand him, especially John Lennon.
That's why "the Beatles" broke up- because they weren't really the Beatles

All of that Paul is dead stuff is utter bullshit.

Nice to hear linda in there. Miss her.

ca. August 1971, those were the days, I was 15, literally everyone was singing this for months.

I like it only part I don't understand is.... I think i going to have a rain omg what that means

When I was a child, the speak-sing part used to scare me....especially if I heard this on the radio at night. I am 54 now. It still does in a way.

Dreamy and brilliant.

Peace on Earth and Goodwill to all men

Is it wrong that I often skip to the halfway point. I mean I like the whole song but that transition is a lot more casual to hear

The first time that I heard this was when I was driving by the Admiral Halsey rest area on the NJ Turnpike in 1971.

What is he doing to that sheep???

The kettles on the boil

One of the few McCartney solo songs that John praised.

Poor uncle Albert 😢

Lazy Hippies... iLOLahLOT (----- Mine!!

Can anyone write like John & Paul and still like so many years later here am I 66 yrs old and love youtube sooo Much

Arguably one of the first lo fi songs

"Butter wouldn't melt so we put it in the pie"

I've been mishearing those lyrics all this time. I thought the song went: "I had another look and I had a cup of tea and a pot of pie / What hi, wonder what smelled so funny in the pie."

I am currently reading a bio about McCartney called, "Paul McCartney; The Life" written by Philip Norman. I highly recommend this book. It is very well written and well organized. Norman does an excellent job at tying together not only McCartney's life but all those around him. He expands his writing into other people such as his family, the other Beatles, Apple Corp, the Beatles breakup, and the beginning of his solo career, but writer Norman keeps everything minimal and always centers back around Paul. The book makes him more human and details how he has to live day-to-day with the business and life, just as any of us have to, but we never hear about it in the media. Some of the media tall-tales we've hear through the years are true, but many are not, so you'll learn a lot.


It is interesting with how Paul gets ideas for songs. He has an amazing ability to tap into ideas and just write good songs on the spot, about an idea or something that he sees, and he does this naturally, so he was definitely born with this gift. After reading this book, and learning about his strong musical abilities as a child, I truly believe that his IQ was probably well above 150.

Oh I remember this song. 11 years old, summer time, swimming at our favorite pool with a high dive. Talking to girls and surfing. Those were the days.

It won me over.

Hey wait a minute, they can’t say “bloody.“ That’s a vulgarity, those wankers.

Admit it though, we all come here for Admiral Halsey. Just saying

...Has a 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' feel to it after all these years.

1971 I'm 10 yrs old again

a song for little kids...

I miss you so much, Raybo

This song gets me hungry for a pumpkin pie

Uncle Albert's back, crusty as ever. Gonna want some tea.

Musical genius

Oh shit. Love this. 👍👍👍👍horns man. How come no one uses them anymore

I really am sorry unc

The universe was so much better when real lovers existed

The only thing I love more than this song is everyone's comments about why they love the song.

live a little, be a gypsy?, get around!, get your feet up off the ground, live a little get around?.

This could have been on Sgt Peppers or Yellow Sub

...yes he WAS;...stopped in '66, now it's Billy ( william campbell)...look into it!

Best rain song

Does anyone else think of Mary Poppins when they hear this? "I love to laugh!"

What a masterpiece!
R.I.P. Linda McCartney
You will be missed.

During the war....

I mean, I asked for all of this wonderful attention? Should I be so surprised if the final living two beatles do show up and ask me what was that song and how did it go?


WURLITZER. CABLE & NELSON. I TYPED IT THE RIGHT WAY THE FIRST TIME> -x-, NO SWORDS.

歌詞が見易い、有難い‼️🎵♥️

This song always reminded me of my grandfather. He was the best!

RIP to your Grandad

Dreamy , such a dreamy Sunday 🌞 song on this mighty fine day . Hail from Oregon 🌲

I can dig that man McCarthy was great but you got to admit Lennon was good to anyway Just digging the tune

I wonder if Paul really manhandled those rams.
