Dance Tonight; Paul McCartney

Paul in double dose! And, what is better, accidently! Let me explain: when I was finishing the previous post I went again to Google trying to find some information about the whistling. Didn't find, but I discovered here (thank you, Mr. Blas) that there is another whistling song in the album “Memory Almost Full”. How wonderful!

Here again, on Mail On Sunday interview: “This was the last track I recorded for the album. I was on my way to a meeting, but before I got there I went for a walk, to experience life for a minute. There’s a guitar shop I like to visit and so I went there and got chatting to the guy who works there. He said he had a left-handed mandolin to show me, and I ended up buying it. The great thing was that I didn’t know how to play it – it’s tuned like a violin, so I had no idea what the chords were. It took me back to when I was a teenager being presented with an instrument. I had to figure out how to play it. I found one chord, then another, and then a really strange chord. I still don’t know what it is but it sounded great. At home, I started stomping around the kitchen, playing this little instrument, just enjoying myself. I sang, ‘Everybody gonna dance tonight’ and my little girl came running in and started dancing, so I fell in love with the song. In fact, I liked it so much I ran into the studio to record it, and stuck it on the album. It seemed like a good atmospheric opening.”

For a change, didn't find anything about the whistling but this time there is a videoclip! And in the video, directed by Michael Gondry, appears the beautiful Natalie Portman in a troupe of ghosts when Paul starts to play his mandolin. Hmmm... I want this mandolin! xD~

Everybody gonna dance tonight
Everybody gonna feel alright
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Everybody gonna dance around
Everybody gonna hit the ground
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Well you can come on to my place if you want to
You can do anything you want to do

Everybody gonna dance tonight
Everybody gonna feel alright
Everybody gonna dance around tonight

Everybody gonna dance around tonight
