Paul McCartney - Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey
Copyright - 1971 EMI Records Ltd.
"Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" is a song by Paul and Linda McCartney on the album Ram. It hit number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in September 1971. The song is probably the most ambitious and experimental track on Ram, and is less a song and more a collection of melodic fragments pieced together, in a similar way to the song-cycle on the second half of The Beatles' Abbey Road.
The melody and lyrics are upbeat and nonsensical (Albert was an uncle of McCartney's, while Admiral "Bull" Halsey was a World War II figure). The sophisticated arrangement, production, sound effects, and vocal treatments strongly recall The Beatles during their psychedelic phase.
Lyrics:
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But there's no one left at home
And I believe I'm gonna rain
We're so sorry but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But if anything should happen we'll be sure to give a ring
(spoken)
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
but the kettle's on the boil and we're so easily called away
nyeah nyeah
(trumpet Solo)
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie
(The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie)
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Live a little be a gypsy, get around (get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little be a gypsy, get around (get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
(Solo)
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky

post beatles, macca was always creative and experimenting, trying things no-one dreamed of doing. Makes lennon seem very boring and unimaginative. Kind of exposes who really was the force behind the beatles. lennon had to resort to being a politician to keep fame in his life. I remember clearly, at the time of wings huge success, how macca was regarded as shaking off the ex beatles tag. Wings were the beatles true offspring and you can hear where they came from in this song.

Yes, I agree 100%, there does not seem to be anything as nearly as good as this piece of music. Has anyone heard the song "I lie around" it is on the flip side of "Live and let die" 45 RPM, its a funny song, or "Sally G" which is on the flip side of "Junior's farm" if possible please post it. Thanks a miilion!!!!
