      Well that's a blast from the past. Great song great video and superb vocal. I remember Paul promoting the song on British television the strange thing was Paul was explaining that is a master at slerping his cup of tea ( slerp or sturp bring the noise you can make when drinking tea ) Paul gave an example of how long he can slerp and how loud. Here is my challenge I can't measure the loudness but I just did a 6 second slerp. If you can remember how long Paul lasted or if you have a link to it please share. Also how long can you do it for and it has to be tea

          Always loved the song, it's a piece of music with the McCartney magic, I would not placed it on a collection with essential McCartney but it's still a song I would like to have heard a live version of. I guess Rusty Anderson could have done something heavy on his solo guitar.

            I fancy its sound too, really hops n' bops, upbeat. Makes us feel good aye Hendrix, although some call "Spies Like Us" just a guilty pleasure Just a frivolous feel good lightweight thingie It's a smallish jewel, but still a gem

              I was listening to this song when I first heard about the American spy plane in China thing in 2001. Ever since then, I always think of that when I hear the song.
