Recorded on January 16, 1976, 'Silly love songs' was a song written as a rebuttal to music critics who criticized Paul McCartney for writing lightweight love songs. According to McCartney, "The song was, in a way, to answer people who just accuse me of being
soppy. The nice payoff now is that a lot of the people I meet who are at
the age where they've just got a couple of kids and have grown up a
bit, settling down, they'll say to me, "I thought you were really soppy
for years, but I get it now! I see what you were doing!""
The single was released in April and reached number 2 in the UK and number 1 in the USA. The label of this single mentions 'Wings at the speed of sound', which is of course the album from which it was taken.
