Average song rating Paul Ramon, the name Paul used on The Beatles tour through Scotland in early 1960, is relived here. Paul plays the ukulele and it sounds nice enough. Paul's playing some piano before the take 1 is finally called (0.14), an OK from Paul start the song. Some piano, a false start on the ukelele and finally we're off. Interesting little rhythm thingy at the start, likes he's counting the off beat. Again some hesitating as Paul comes in with his voice. Linda's joining him in the high octave. Bass, drums and piano joining in at 0.58. Bass like in I Will. Aaah's (who's doing that?) from 1.06 give the song some tension and I always like that. Great acoustic guitar from 1.20, with the harmonies creating the later characteristic Wings-sound. At least, that's what I hear. The I Will-bass still plodding on. Maybe should have been a proper bass. Are the high voices in the harmonies disappearing at 1.58? Paul's whistling the song to the end. Not a special song, but great to give the album its title from a song like this (or vice versa) if you catch my drift. Bobber April 11, 2012
Average song rating "Ram On...give your heart to somebody...soooon, very soon, right away". That is the entire lyric to this exquisite montage of ear candy, and it works well as not only a theme to this album, but to the way that Paul McCartney has lived his entire life.

The glory of this album is captured in this little morsel of a song: full of fun and whimsy, sounding spur-of-the-moment while remaining exquisitely produced with layers of multi-tracked vocals from Paul and Linda, oddball conversation, ukelele, and beginning with a gorgeous piano glissando		 Bruce Beatlefan October 15, 2011
