What's Paul's best protest song?
-
You Never Give Me Your Money

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?

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.

Paul's new single?

Being Irish, I love 'Give Ireland Back To The Irish", but also "Too Many People" is good.
-
Paul even introduced it on "Up Close" as a "protest song..."...Big Boys Bickering.
-
Seems like "Off the Ground" had several protest ditties, about animal rights, feminism, vegetarianism...very cool album
