IS IT ME OR DO THE NEW PAUL MCCARTNEY SONG ABSOLUTELY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I'm in a bad mood or something but I usually love Paul, from "Maybe I'm amazed" to "I can see the world tonight" to anything he does. But the new single "Dance Tonight" sounds like the most horrible, trite, unimaginative thing I've heard in awhile. Am I alone in this thinking? link The video seems 2nd rate and amateurish too. It seems to try to go back to the old beatles days but fall flats, even worse than the magical mystery tour movie. |

Meh. I immediately lose interest when someone rhymes 'feet' with 'beat'. Sorry Paul. I love the mandolin, but this song lost me at that point. I guess 'everybody's gonna dance tonight'..... except Heather Mills. Should've called the song "Hop Tonight", eh Paulie! |

I like it. lol :] |

I think you are being a little harsh. It's not that bad. Now that song 'Freedom' he wrote after 911, that's total crap. |

Awww, I kinda like it. I'll acknowledge that it's really dippy and lightweight, though. I give the guy a break, LOL. He's 65 years old. His voice sounds *great* on this. |

Or that dead jerk he played with when he was in the Beatles? What's his name? Billy Preston. |

i havent heard the song but if it does it is no surprise to me. everything he has done since 1976 has sucked. |
| kdj2hot 03.06.2007 08:24 |
I still think the song sucks but the album is actually kinda good. I downloaded the songs from ares. It's not as great as some of the reviews make it out to be but it's decent. I don't know why he made that song the first single, that just dumb to me. That song appeals to no one. It it had like a mindless techno beat with the mandolin and the heavy guitar at the end than it might work on some level but the way the song is produced it just doesnt work on any level, not lyrical, not innovative production wise and not musically. But yes, his voice still sounds good for being 65 in a few weeks. |

I blush with shame, and I should have known better - having known all their birthdays, and other assorted fan-type knowledge. I called him 65, and he's not that age until June 18th. |

Ahaha, I really liked it! The song was sweet, and the video was so creative.. xD "Cup of tea? I'd love one." "I didn't ask you." If you didn't like this song, try listening to "Nod Your Head". It's different. :DD |
| FriedChicken 04.06.2007 19:55 |
I also don't like it very much. It's pretty catchy, but it has lame lyrics and the music is also boring. I did like Vintage Clothes though. It sounds like If I Needed Someone. His previous album (C&CITB) was better, especially with gems like Fine Line, English Tea and Too Much Rain. And does anyone has any idea why those last 2 McCartney albums are mixed so poorly. It sounds so homemade! |
| john bodega 05.06.2007 06:36 |
"It sounds so homemade!" I guess it depends on whose home it's made in! |
| FriedChicken 05.06.2007 07:11 |
I mean ofcourse an amateur trying to cut his tracks in his bedroom :D |
| iGSM 05.06.2007 08:16 |
Like McCartney was? larf. I don't know though. |
| john bodega 05.06.2007 10:39 |
I'll stand by any filmclip that has Nipply Portman in it, no matter how bad. |
| iGSM 05.06.2007 23:45 |
I didn't ask you. Would you like a cup of Nipple? |
| Carol! the Musical 06.06.2007 03:03 |
Aaaaaaaaaaand his album is wonderful! Everybody MUST listen to Mr. Bellamy! |

I didn't say McCartney was an amateur. I said the production of the album is terrible. |
| iGSM 06.06.2007 09:43 |
Neither did I. I was refering to the album McCartney. soz. |
| Carol! the Musical 07.06.2007 21:12 |
To the top! Macca's album is amazing, tut- tut. |

Though he explains away the meanings of the songs on the little commentary thingy on the limited edition, it's my theory that Paul is very ill and hasn't made it public yet. There's a lot of looking back and death themes on this album. Or perhaps this Paul already died and they've found yet another similar replacement, as happened in 1966. But anyway, I bought the LE for the cool packaging and stuff and because I did like the simple little 'Dance Tonight'. The mandolin sound really lifts my spirits. I ended up liking the album quite a bit. Not his best work, but better than most of the weird shit he's been doing since the 80s. |

I found that song to be quite enjoyable. It is not so much mainstream, so I find that in itself to be refreshing. In my opinion, Paul is on the right track. Let us hope Queen keeps up their tradition in being DIFFERENT and not the same as everybody else. |
| iGSM 11.06.2007 21:39 |
I'm a Paul Stepford, though....I LOVE EVERYTHING he has done. Except Press to Play. I remind myself that someone else did that. |
