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".
