"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.

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....
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.
"Neil Young does not belong in the same conversation as McCartney and Dylan."

Maybe on the grand scale of things, but certainly an interesting topic for debate.
Agree that PMs vocals seem to be increasingly rough quite often of late, especially in comparison to his prime.
