IT's FRIDAY LETS HAVE ANOTHER
SONG OF THE DAY and continuing the singles bought when they came out . . . .. as I have said before my wife and I were avid fan club members at this time , . . . . . . . . . . . . its COMING UP!
The music video was directed by Keith McMillan and features McCartney playing ten roles (himself, two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, a keyboard player, and four saxophone players) and Linda McCartney playing two backup singers (one female and one male). The “band” identified as “The Plastic Macs” on the drum kit (a homage to Lennon’s conceptual Plastic Ono Band), features Paul and Linda’s imitations of various rock musician stereotypes, as well as a few identifiable musicians. In his audio commentary on the 2007 video collection The McCartney Years, Paul identified characters that were impersonations of specific artists: Hank Marvin (guitarist from the Shadows), Ron Mael of Sparks (keyboards), a ’Beatlemania-era’ version of himself (bass), and a drummer inspired by John Bonham from Led Zeppelin. Other identifiable impersonations appear to be Frank Zappa and Buddy Holly, which McCartney said were “comic relief” thrown in to fill out the stage.
The video, which was created a year before the premiere of MTV, made its debut on Saturday Night Live in the US and The Kenny Everett Video Show in the UK.
