What's Paul's best protest song?
-
Silly Love Songs

JoeySmith:
The song 'Wild Life' is 1 of Paul's hidden gems & 1 of his best protest songs. Great lyrics. Love the original video of the song.

Blackbird has a great message in it, although I'm not sure if I'd classify it as a "protest" song. The same goes for Freedom. Silly Love Songs, as previously mentioned, also fits well into the protest category. -Rubber Soul13

Sorry, but to me, Silly Love Songs is too personal (to Paul) to be considered a true protest song.
-
Kind of an odd song to consider a protest song, to my ears. Protesting the critics? Not exactly "fighting the power"!

Personally, there?s another song I prefer but I can?t quite remember the title. Veggie something?.something Loving such and such?.. You know the one.

"We can be so loving." "Winedark Open Sea"?

Wild Life, if we can consider it a protest song, which I think we can. Then Give Ireland Back to the Irish and Looking for Changes. Interesting idea of considering Silly Love Songs as a protest song And what would Too Many People be protesting?. John?

And what would Too Many People be protesting?. John?
You could hear it that way. He certainly did, and it prompted him to write his outright attack on Paul "How Do You Sleep?". But I think it's about Too Many People being uptight in general and telling others what to do. "...Too many people preaching practices, don't let 'em tell you what you want to be... Too many people holding back. This is crazy, and baby, it's not like me!"

Give Norway Back to the Danish.
-
Well, I think "Looking for Changes" is pretty good, he's a vegetarian and you know that he loves animals, a protest song from the heart.

Need to put Paul's new single "All Day" in the list now. Lyrics are powerful.
