10 Most Underrated Paul McCartney Songs
4. Morse Moose and the Grey Goose - London Town
The journey of Wings gets a little bit spotty once you reach London Town. With half of the band quitting again after a falling out over business, Macca, Linda, and Denny Laine came up with some of the more radio-friendly songs of their career like Girlfriend and the title track. Though this album can get a bit too yacht rock for some people, they knew how to bring everything home on Morse Moose and the Grey Goose.
Compared to all of the other Wings tracks up until this point, this was one of the most experimental things they had ever come out with. While most of the song is structured like Band on the Run closer 1985, the amount of love and care put into this story is amazing, as McCartney plays the role of a man stranded out at sea searching for help. That kind of synopsis would be enough, but these guys end up incorporating different sonar sounds and ambient noise to make borderline musical theater.
When taken with McCartney's entire body of work, this sounds like the offspring of something like Tomorrow Never Knows, more of an audio experience than an actual song. Given that Paul was always known as the radio-friendly side of the Beatles, the sheer weirdness of this song would have surely made John Lennon proud.
