Paul's response to the critics who were saying he was "cranking out" silly love songs. The intro is the sound of an assembly line in a factory ready to crank out another one. Billy Joel paid homage to it in the beginning of his own Allentown video.
John Lennon was one of those critics.

He should have had Alan Parsons record some cash registers.

I think I remember Paul saying being tagged as just a writer of silly love songs was like a having a chain around his neck. I think it was always an unfair criticism. Most songs ever written were love songs, probably well over 90%. So why was Paul singled out by some critics including John. i would like to count how many of John's songs were about love. .......and as the songs says. What's wrong with that ?

77 is memorable - I came to be!
