Average song rating 'This is it'. The introduction on Spin It On looks like an assist for the later Strokes album. This song proves that Wings' new line up is certainly not a bad one. Steve Holley is letting the drums roll at the start of the song and the guitar work is great. Spin It On is a wonderful rocker in the style of Name And Address on Paul's previous album. It sounds like a song that Paul could write in five minutes and maybe he did. Nevertheless, it's a great piece of rock 'n roll and something John Lennon should have picked up while recording his come back in the next year. Its semi-spontaneous sound and vocals make the song some special. Well done.

Average song rating For some inexplicable reason, McCartney took a lot of heat from music reviewers (Tim Riley and S.T.Erlewine, for instance) for not paying closer attention to the rise of new-wave and punk rock styles (funny, I don't recall Sid Vicious ever being called out for not writing songs like "Michelle"). I guess those ridiculous criticisms got to Paul, as he knock off this one to (hopefully) shut those guys up. No such luck, Paul. Anyway, this is a great listen that, like most of this album, has no High Art value whatsoever. Bruce Beatlefan May 26, 2006

Lyrics

This is it!

Spin it on, don't stop,
Take it back to the top,
'Cause I've got another lot of love for you.
I wanna spin it on.

Spin it on!
Off to the flicks with the piddle in her mix,
To the fair with her hair in curlers.
Her cousin couldn't get down to the pleasure dome,
Her cousin had to spend the night in an aircraft hangar, memories.

Spin it on, don't stop,
Take it back to the top,
'Cause I've got another lot of love for you.
That's why I wanna spin it on.

Spin it on! Spin it on!

Spin it on!

Spin it on, don't stop,
Take it back to the top,
'Cause I've got another lot of love for you.
That's why I wanna spin it on.

Went off to the field with a missionary's zeal
For the life of a wife of a farmer.
Her cousin couldn't get on down to the village hall,
Her cousin had to spend the night on a pinball table, memories.

Spin it on, don't stop,
Take it back to the top,
'Cause I've got another lot of love for you.
That's why I wanna spin it on.

Spin it on! Spin it on! Spin it on! Spin it on! Oh!
I wanna spin it on, spin it on!

I wanna spin it on, spin it on!

Spin it on, don't stop,
Take it back to the top,
'Cause I've got another lot of love for you.
