"Kisses on the Bottom" by Paul McCartney

I think that title comes from the lyrics of one of the old standard tunes covered from about 100 years ago.

I guess Paul is not feeling the need to be very trendy these days.

The modern equivalent would be something along the lines of "Kiss My A--" or worse.

Many modern artists might not wince at that maybe, FBOFW, but definitely very un-Paul-like.

If John were still around, maybe, depending on his mood....

"Kisses On The Bottom" is a collection of standards as well as the two new McCartney compositions "My Valentine" and "Only Our Hearts." Lots of artists have done this over the years with Willie Nelson's "Stardust" probably being the most well known. While I think Nelson hit the ball out of the park with "Stardust", Sir Paul's offering doesn't do it for me at all. Just my opinion and nothing more.

Went over to Amazon to hear the thirty second intros and found myself wondering who's voice has improved more over the years Paul McCartney's or Rod Stewart's

Well, my point was hardly to indict him for not being trendy, or for getting racy with a 100-year-old lyric. In fact, I find this "very Paul-like" indeed - taking precious and cheesy to new levels that border on the surreal.

I think it's a fair bet that, if John were still around, he'd be throwing up in his mouth. But enough. I do love Paul, don't get me wrong.
