"Silly Love Songs"

This single was released on April 1st, 1976.  The song was written and produced by Paul McCartney and recorded by Wings.  Paul wrote the song, Silly Love Songs, in response to critics who said his music was "lightweight".  Even John Lennon had made a comment about his ex-bandmate writing "silly love songs".

This song was Paul's first try at disco.  Disco was all the rage in the middle and late seventies and a number of sixties stars gave it a try, including the Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart. 

For Silly Love Songs Paul's bass guitar takes the forefront along with a strong disco beat laid down by drummer Joe English.  The song reached the number 2 spot on the British charts and the number 1 spot in Canada and The US. 

The B-Side of the single was a song called Cook of the House.  This was a chance for Linda McCartney to take the lead vocal.  It's a charming song in it's own, but probably the weakest part of the album "Wings at the Speed of Sound".

Venus and Mars/Rock Show

Venus and Mars/ Rock Show was the last single released from the album Venus and Mars.  The single was released on November 1st, 1975.  The songs were the first two tracks on the album.  Many speculate that "Venus" and "Mars" refer to Paul and Linda McCartney....Paul denies that assertion.

Paul wrote Rock Show specifically for use as an opener on the forthcoming Wings tour.

The song mentions Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin Guitarist).

The B-Side of this single was Magneto and Titanium Man. The song was influenced by Marvel comic book characters.  Drawings of the characaters would show on a screen behind Wings when they perfromed this song live.
