It sounds so different from the songs we did on the boat, we thought it should be a single and it sounds very Christmassy and New Yeary. It's kind of 'glass of ale in your hand, leaning up against the bar' tune. We had the local pipe band join in and we took a mobile studio up to Scotland and put the equipment in an old barn. We had The Campeltown Band and they were great - just pipes and drums. It was interesting writing for them. You can't just write any old tune, because they can't play every note in a normal scale." (Paul McCartney, 1977)
