God, I forgot how great/horrible that autobiography is.
I can’t recommend highly enough the audio version, which he narrates. He “croons” portions of some songs and inserts chuckles every so often that are so forced and dead that I don’t doubt for a second he inserted in his text, “[laugh here].”
Oh man. I'm there.

See, I DO miss this content
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Your logic makes sense, yet Mike Love inspires so much more contempt from me, and I’m no apologist for Marxist-Leninists. Head and heart in conflict.

You're about as easy as a nuclear war
I like Duran Duran, but Simon LeBon is a terrible lyricist.

Shake up the picture the lizard mixture with your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers all of which I deny
I said it again but could I please rephrase it, maybe I can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer but I'll wait 'til you decide


Huh?

Yes, appalling. I'll offer up...

Telegram force and ready
I knew this was a big mistake
There's a fine line drawing my senses together
And I think it's about to break
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Worth presenting in full, McCartney finding his inner Lee Greenwood.

They'll have to answer, 'cause this is my right

I'm talking about freedom

I will fight for the right
To live in freedom

I'm talking about freedom

Everybody talking about freedom
We're talking about freedom
We will fight for the right

I will fight for the right
To live in freedom

I'm talking about freedom
I'm talking about freedom

bombing the middle east, mostly

addendum: Afghanistan, anyways. I know Macca got touchy about the song being associated with the Iraq invasion.

Hello,

You couldn't even do a "Drink every time you hear 'freedom"" game - it'd be too fast!
