thebeatleslovesong's video: Silly Love Songs-Paul McCartney Wings

In addition to a comment about "silly love songs" by John Lennon[citation needed], McCartney had often been teased by music critics[citation needed] for writing lightweight songs, and he wrote this number in response. "Silly Love Songs" was McCartney's first foray into the then-popular disco sound, with his bass guitar taking a lead role against a steady disco-style drumbeat. As such, it was the forerunner for other 1960s-era British musicians trying their hand at disco[citation needed]; examples that followed included The Rolling Stones' "Miss You" and Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?". The song was included on the album, Wings at the Speed of Sound, and released as a single, which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the UK Singles Chart. It was not only one of the Wings' best-selling singles, but became one of the best-selling singles of the 1970s.[citation needed]
