Sorry, Paul, if you put glasses and a funny nose on the little 60's cartoon guy in your MV, I'm going to think of him as John.

Paul McCartney Burnishes Stoner Bonafides with Remastered “Mamunia” Video

- Wings track re-released in runup to Band on the Run 50th-anniversary edition

Anyone who didn’t know Paul McCartney spent the 1970s baked out of his mind need only to see the restored “Mamunia” video for a reminder that the Cute Beatle had really good pot on board.

Out to tease the Feb. 2 arrival of McCartney & Wings’ Band on the Run 50th-anniversary edition, the hippy-dippy-trippy video follows the so-called underdubbed mix of the title track. And it’s even more stoned than the audio, with animation that mixes equal parts Monty Python and Wall-era Pink Floyd - guess where their inspiration came from? - to create a bong-smoke-hazy scenes of smiling suns, ornery rain clouds and people who are cool with whatever happens, maaaaan.

Here’s hoping viewers feel the same as the restoration is, frankly, pretty weak, leaving the video looking very much its age.

So I've been thinking about 1974 in my Plastic Ono Band universe, and I think what I've settled on is John and Yoko still separate and she puts out Approximately Infinite Universe and meanwhile John is antsy about recommitting to Paul without her but manages to get talked into briefly joining Wings to play lead guitar for recording Band On The Run, long as he can bring his girlfriend May. #9 Dream replaces Mamunia (which is released as a B-side to Helen Wheels) and Let Me Roll It breaks out into the Beef Jerky jam as an outro.

But I've been trying to decide, if John is on the album does that mean he goes with them to Lagos or does he wait till they come back for overdubs? I feel like with all the crazy shit that happened on that trip like the robbery and Paul's heart attack and getting antagonized by Fela Kuti (who had a point let's be real) John would believe that's all somehow due to his presence being a curse despite it having nothing to do with him and afterward be even more compelled to self-isolate, that is if he would decide to go in the first place.

She Haunts Me Like The Sound Of The Rain : Paul’s rain songs

“The road back to London was slicker than a sealskin rug and the rain came in buckets”

“September was coming and the rain never seemed to stop”

Francie Schwartz - Body Count (describing late Summer 1968)

There are some celebratory rain songs by Paul. ‘That Would Be Something’, ‘Mamunia’. The joy of the rain running down your back, sort of thing. Much more often, though, rain is used to represent deep sadness in his songs. It’s a bit more than rain = tears, too. It feels more like a trigger, really. An association of rain with a particularly sad time for him.

Though she haunts me like the sound of the rain, or a river running down to the ocean..I hate to complain, but it's happening again (Looking At Her)

Now every time it rains it sometimes gets too much, you know I feel the pain when I feel your loving touch (Deep, Deep Feeling)

How many days will the wet weather last (Back On My Feet)

The wiliow turns his back on inclement weather, and if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you (With A Little Luck)

My brother told me life’s not a pain, that was right when it started to rain (I Don’t Know)

Keep under cover 'til the clouds disappear, keep out of trouble 'til the weather is bright and clear (Keep Under Cover)

When you’re going through a tough time and the weather is grim….

From

www.trevorharley.com >1968

“The summer of 1968 was a peculiar one in that it was a dull and wet summer in southern and eastern areas of Britain…July. Generally dull, cool, and wet, especially in the south, but with two exceptional thundery outbreaks. The first ten days were very active. A slow-moving cold front ended June's hot spell on the 1st, which saw temperatures of 33C in London, with severe and prolonged thunderstorms in the north and west, with darkness at noon, from mid-morning on the 1st to late afternoon on the 2nd.

August. Very cool, dull, and wet, with persistent northeasterly winds.

September. There was widespread and severe flooding in the southeast following heavy and prolonged rain (e.g. 75 mm) on Saturday the 14th and 15th.

A thunderstorm moved across London into Essex during the afternoon of the 14th. As that one faded, a new one developed over Kent, Essex, and southeast London. This one lasted 15 hours!”
