"Kisses on the Bottom" by Paul McCartney


Is it just me, or is this the most disgraceful and laughable album title to come along in recent memory? Has he outdone himself this time, or what? The cover art and contents appear to be equally cringeworthy.

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.
Kisses on the bottom,back when people wrote letters,sometimes they wrote the word kisses,at the end(bottom) of the letter,,many kisses,from,Grandma instead of regards,love, or could write ,much love and kisses ,kiss ,kiss,many kisses for my baby,,,
Ray,

THanks for that explanation. I knew there had to be a rational one based on use of language back when that song was written. Much more McCartney-like.
Uru975 and Raytheprinter have it right. It is a lyric from "I'm Going to Sit Right Down as and Write Myself a Letter" and it does refer to kisses written at the bottom of a letter.

I listened to the Amazon samples and I thought Paul's voice sounded thin and brittle. He got around to this project too late.
Let's cut the old boy a little slack.

Taking into consideration all McC's albums with The Beatles, Wings, and solo projects no other singer/songwriter except Dylan has produced anything close to his body of work.
