More Wordstore+ Demo's: What's That You're Doing Karaoke !

This funky song of Tug Of War album was so good, I just couldn't understand
why it was never released as a single.
The bass of Paul, the keyboards of Stevie, everything fits like a glove.

So after the succes of Ebony and Ivory (ballad duet with Stevie Wonder),
Paul decided he still can make a hit on his own and released Take It Away as 2nd single.
Well, the title says it all...it was an easy to forget song and sounded oke,
but not catchy enough.
In the end What's That You're Doing was never released as single, otherwise it would
be the 2nd hitsong with Stevie Wonder and Paul...

Here is the link to a video with the lyrics:

I remember that my sister bought the LP at Vroom&Dreesman, a Dutch megastore
which you can find in lot of cities in the Netherlands. The whole recordstore
was filled with poster of the cover of Tug Of War and they played the titlesong
over and over again. She never regret buying it.





To me it was one of the best albums from Paul McCartney & (or without) Wings.
The other ones are the London Town album and Band On The Run...
The title song Tug Of War, reminds me of London Town of the album with the same name, but every song was a pleasure to listen to.
Some highlights: ofcourse What's That You're Doing (funk), Wanderlust (great ballad),
Ballroom Dancing (modern rock).
I remember a Dutch DJ who liked the break in Ballroom Dancing so much,
he played that part twice in his radioshow.
Paul loved the song too, so he re-used it on the Broad Street soundtrack.
