Paul McCartney- Ballroom Dancing

[@HowardDodds]

This guy was such a huge inspiration to me as a songwriter .... so many of his songs have proven that he had an uncanny understanding of exactly what his fans wanted !

[@hardloper070884]

one of Mr. Paul Mc Cartneys masterpieces

[@beatlesfreak89]

Ringo on the drums!!!

[@avidrocker]

With Dave Edmunds and John Paul Jones no less

[@harro16]

My two youngest & I danced endlessly to this great toon!

[@rachelthompson7487]

I love this song and scene so much. Can’t get it out of my head.

[@jimbohnenkamp5082]

I love it, too. Almost everything Paul has written has something to like.

[@maximomutina]

i was a kid like the four ones on the red carpet when the "Great Sir" sang this song... a fantastic one!

[@yurokasportboys9166]

1982 great song!

[@SyrDoN]

One of my favorite songs. Ahhh

[@kevinshannon7117]

Such an underrated film was GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROAD ST . Of course , it was 1984 and by then The Beatles music was (believe it or not) considered passe . Yet , the yrs have been kinder . The soundtrack included some of the best songs ever recorded by Paul , or anyone anytime , including : 1. Yesterday 2. For no one 3. Here, there, & everywhere 4. Eleanor Rigbey 5, The long & winding road 6.Ballroom Dancing (seen here) . Timeless is McCartney and his music . Fast forward to 2023 . I feel like he's "late for the sky" and i miss him already ...

[@groovynelson1575]

This Movie is Dedicated to Dave Walston from me. The movie itself wasn't that great but the sound track was Awesome! I have watched and listened to this song so many times and I think the choreography of this song...Ya was Awesome! I saw this movie at my friends house shortly after my girlfriend and I broke up and I was broke hearted...I could go on but I'm not. God Bless You All!!

[@jerrymeza]

Whats funny about this movie is that Ringo didnt want to play Beatles songs, because he had already recorded them, thats why is “looking” for some stuff during For No One, but then through the years he re-recorded many of his songs lol

[@groovynelson1575]

@@jerrymeza Thanks for telling me that! I like hearing about details like this. Rock On Sir!!

This song & Take it away. Hidden treasures.

[@IanLaing-j5m]

if memory serves, the trumpet player who almost got beaned by the falling column is john barclay, same guy taught him taught me but i was never in his league, although i did do a tv session with him at granada, possibly for kate robbins. he could've wiped the floor with me but he was such a nice guy, friendly, chatty, no side to him whatsoever, just turned up, did the job and that was it. don't suppose you'll ever see this, john, and i don't suppose you remember me at all, but as the saying goes "the pleasure was all mine." hope you're ok.

[@guruuDev]

I think this song is telling the story of The Beatles' career -- alluding to their early days when they played the Grosvenor Ballroom -- i in a particularly tough part of Liverpool with lots of Teddy Boy gang violence.

[@mario17-t34]

the best video + song combo all the time

[@lbgrrl]

I like the version on Tug of War best , one of my favorite Macca songs.

[@justanotherrandomcrit8115]

This song is actually the only song on the Broad Street album I like more than the original.

[@danieleskridge3180]

@@justanotherrandomcrit8115 what about “Wanderlust”? I think the Broad Street version is a better arrangement than on Tug of War, medley aside.

[@ArthurB]

@@danieleskridge3180 I personally love the ending with the Here There and Everywhere bit, however I'd say that the Tug of War version has a more powerful arrangement overall.

My all time favorite paul mccartney classic

[@dalhyeong]

i luv to watching john paul jones jonesy standing and smiling there!

[@mgreen733]

Well I used to smile when I was a pup Sailing down the Nile in china cup With the recipe for a lovely day Sticking out my back pocket But it wasn't always such a pretty sight 'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs Till me made it up in the ballroom Ballroom dancing made a man of me One, two, three, four I just plain adore your Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV I got what I got from ballroom dancing Big b.d. Well I used to fly when I was a kid And I didn't cry if it hurt a bit On a carpet ride to a foreign land At the time of Davy Crockett But it wasn't always such a pretty sight 'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs Till me made it up in the ballroom Ballroom dancing made a man of me One, two, three, four I just plain adore your Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing Big b.d. Well went so fast and we all grew up Now the days have passed in the china cup Are the memories of another day And I wouldn't want to knock it But it wasn't always such a pretty sight 'Cause we used to fight like cats and dogs Till we made it up in the ballroom Ballroom dancing made a man of me One, two, three, four I just plain adore your Ballroom dancing, seen it on TV I got quite a lot from ballroom dancing Big b.d.

Is it just me; or did it always sound like Paul was saying, "Big VD!"?? :) ........No offence meant...remember this song & video well & so glad to find it so easily & with such great quality!

[@melissacooper4282]

He actually was singing "Big BD" abbreviated for "Ballroom Dancing." But "VD" is a lot funnier!

[@allenallen5040]

@@melissacooper4282 you’re right BD but the inference was VD “I got what I got from ballroom dancing”. “We would fight, but make it up in the ballroom” (sex).

Paul was true tunesmith. Not much in the lyrics but another McCartneyeque melody. John would have made fun if it.

@@stukjeappel2000 John was being objective, not jealous. He always noted McCartney tunes he liked … and hated. He did the same with his own songs.

[@jmadratz]

@@gentillygirl545 John was the bard, Paul the tunesmiith . Together their music lived on, separately they wrote good songs but not not too many would make the Beatles catalog.

knife or gun might does not make right. riglty trashed in the critics, itwas a buck fifty movie when nothing else was worth anything at the theatre. theyhated pauls hair, the weirdness of paul in such a odd move and pretty much glad when it was over. two or three songs worth memorizing but like any macca thing, you always knew the words to any song. even to today.
