Track 10 - I Can Bet Produced by Giles Martin. This is McCartney at his poppy best. It's like the best Wings single that never was. It has a fantastic swagger to it that is epitomized by the line "What I'm gonna do next, I'll leave entirely to your imagination". There's a guitar riff in there somewhere that reminds me of something on "Memory Almost Full" and a short synth solo that is pure Wings. But then there are some aspects of the production that place it firmly in the present. The trippy ending is cool.
Strange! the chorus is copied directly from"Get Back"! melody & guitar riff I can Bet - Get Back same riff I can Bet - Get Back same riff I can bet you?ll never guess - Get Back the way you once belonged otherwise the song is very strong and I like his voice here, the most amazing part is: Cause what I?m gonna do next I leave entirely to your imagination the way the words sit on the melody is another way of showing how genius this man is not only in melody but in lyrics.
Songwriters can nick ideas from themselves, and often do. Listen to Prince's 1999 then the melody he uses on MANIC MONDAY, the song he wrote for the Bangles. The verses are almost exact.
and why did you think I'm criticizing Paul for that?? please read carefully why I stated that before being defensive. someone stated this song is similar to ...., while I find the chorus copied from an old classic by Paul himself without any negative intention. However, (since you brought that) I think comparing Prince as songwriter with Paul in nicking ideas from themselves is a bit unacceptable. Paul McCartney is the best songwriter in history!
Settlle down! If YOU would read carefully, you would note I was just making a point that IT HAPPENS!! And I am correct, as I provided proof from a successful artist. Whether you think Prince is in McCartney's league or not means nothing. On a McCartney fan site, I suspect many would think not. However, Prince is a very successful international artist, so I think it is a great example, if I do say so myself! BTW, I Can Bet does not sound like Get Back.
You settle down!! whether you think Prince is the same as Paul McCartney that means nothing to me or any of Macca fans. you can go listen and adore whoever you want but don't insult people or speak like you know better than others here! if you have a point to discuss say it with respect. you made a point and I replied to you, that's it!
You are making an a$$ of yourself. My original point was not disrespectful. Don't take it out on me if you can't handle discussion about McCartney's music and some people make a points that are disagreeable to you. And yes, I will listen to whomever I choose with no thanks to you. I actually like all kinds of music, I don't live in a delusional world where the only music maker is Paul McCartney.

the most ridiculous things you are doing is assuming things from your sick head about others! first of all yes your first reply was not dis respective and my reply to you was the same if you go back and read it, but for some reason you came back with disrespect and using CAP to show people here how angry and strong you are ....! pathetic! that's why I replied to you then saying words like as$ or assuming that if someone tell you that McCartney is better than Prince or whoever you adore means insulting your taste is really stupid. further using words like "no thanks to you" is laughable. I won't argue with a child like you about who I listen to or not. that's not important to me. go play this game with someone else and if I want to discuss music then I will do that any time here or anywhere BUT with mature people! who can discuss musically ! get a life!
