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!

you were always gonna get a negative comment from me once i got to the point where you said you liked "maybe im amazed".i loathe that song more than the "frog chorus"
its mindless mccartney drivel
the new one is ok,nothing great mind.he hasnt done anything decent since flowers in the dirt.
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.
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.

Whoops, I blew it. 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
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!

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.
