As a fan of Irish-Scottish singing group Celtic Thunder, I love “Mull of Kintyre”. Sadly, George Donaldson, the only Scotsman in the group died suddenly at age 46 of a heart attack. All of the current group are from Ireland.

No Mull berries?

No mull berries

We don't got the mullberries up here in the high Rockies.

Bull berries...oh yeah.

Yes, the other A-side, “Girls School” was pushed here in the states. Did not do much and I never hear it now. Ever.

Maybe it’s kind of creepy for a 35 year old man to be singing about a girls’ school.

Yeah, Girls School was a bit of a dirty rocker. A big push was made by Capitol with a picture sleeve for the double A-side release back then. Neither song charted well here.

Okay.

I should read the threads instead of just your pings.

You start that and the next thing you know we’ll
be reading the articles before commenting.

IMHO the best rock song ever to feature bagpipes

I found a good video of McCartney performing Mull of Kintyre in Hamilton, Ontario last year.
