Paul McCartney - Coming Up (Music Video)

"Coming Up" was the opening track from Paul McCartney's McCartney II album, written by McCartney and released in 1980. Like the rest of the album, the song had a minimalist synthesized feel to it. It featured humourously-processed lead vocals from McCartney, who played all the instruments and shared harmonies with wife Linda. Despite his ambivalent feelings about McCartney's solo success, John Lennon was complimentary of this song, and it partially inspired Lennon's own 1980 comeback. "Coming Up" is also well known for its video. It is an early example of electronic trickery, with Paul McCartney playing ten roles and Linda McCartney playing two. The "band" features Paul and Linda's imitations of several famous rock musicians; some are more easily recognizable than others. The characters include Hank Marvin (guitar), Mick Fleetwood (drums), Ron Mael of Sparks (keyboards), a, 'Mania-Era' version of Beatle Paul (bass and backing vocals), Andy MacKay (sax), Frank Zappa (sax), as well as a long-haired guitarist (strongly resembling Neil Young), two sax players and a male backing singer (performed by Linda) that have yet to be identified with any certainty. Lyrics Want a love to last forever One that will never fade away I want to help you with your problem Stick around, I say Coming up, coming up, yeah Coming up like a flower Coming up, I say You want a friend you- can rely on One who will never fade away And if youre searching for an answer Stick around.
