How many songs has Paul written?
-
Hello from St. Louis in the USA! I've wondered for a long time: How prolific is Sir Paul? How many songs has he written? Must be over 1,000! I know there are 200+ Lennon-McCartney songs. Then add in the ones with Linda, Michael Jackson, Elvis Costello, Stevie Wonder, etc. and all the songs he wrote without a partner. Fine with me if you want to count the well-known Unreleased songs as well, and don't forget to include the Fireman and Oratorio ones! Has anyone done this research? Thanks, Alan

Sorry but the only answer I can give is a lot!

Even though this has a glaring typo in it ("band of the '90's"!!)
the answer is probably close. We talked about this subject on here last year and came up with a figure of about 800. http://www.ask.com/answers/81709401/how-many-songs-has-paul-mccartney-written -
more than me ill tell you that

yes, definitely more than one

Yes, this was the thread I started a year or so ago. http://maccaboard.paulmccartney.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=81076 I was thinking of bumping the thread actually, and seeing if we couldn't get closer to calculating an actual figure. On the Elimination game thread on this forum we have a kind of working list to start from. Has a few mistakes but we could attempt to get correct it and add Beatle tracks etc... But year probably about 600-900ish!

Paul can't seem to remember he was ever in Wings or wrote anything but Beatles songs! I doubt he's know how many total songs he's written!

I imagine that he'd be confused on this, as you have the "songs that are actually on officially-released albums" answer, and the "all of the songs he actually wrote" answer, which are drastically different.

I guess he probably knows, but he don't care about, he only wants "some more" as says often...
-
I've heard him say in an interview that he doesn't know all his own songs as there's that many!!!

I wonder if he has little pieces of paper stuffed in drawers with half baked lyrics?

Bob Dylan has done about 500 odd. But has Macca done more than Zappa

The answer is...828. 827 if you take Lennon's side of the "In My Life" debate.
