Sometimes I think Paul listens to this song at home and just chuckles about how much better of a songwriter he is than everyone else that he can do the goofiest song about a milkshake in the hardest way possible and show off his talent all over it

There isn’t a human being on planet earth that can cover this perfectly. Paul was a one of a kind, and cannot ever be duplicated.

My fave track of my fave McCartney album. If you havent heard him sing like this the you havent heard Helter Skelter and Oh Darlin with The Beatles

Every song on this album is really good

Always loved this. Shows Paul could sing ANYTHING.

The animal he's holding is a ram. Like the album name. McCartney recorded this entire album in his home studio on his farm in Scotland.He played every instrument himself, and did the production and mixing by himself too. Talented man!

For McCartney's skills as a rock-shouter, I recommend the Beatles tracks "Long tall Sally", "I'm down", "Helter skelter", "Oh! Darling", "I've got a Feeling" as the most intense. There are numerous others like "She's a woman", "Got to get you into my life", "Sgt. Pepper's lonely hearts club band" or "Hey Jude" etc.

Monk is what Paul's daughter called milk. It started there and Paul took off with it.

This was a song Paul wrote based on his home life with his kids. It's all tongue and cheek, with obscure and whimsical references. Monk was a word he used with his kids to refer to Milk, so the Monkberry Moon Delight was a sort of fantastical sort of milk based drink or potion. It's a crazy song but so wild and hard and catchy. Note, there is an old joke about the tomato family walking down the street and the kid tomato keeps lagging behind to the point where the daddy tomato walks back to him and stomps him flat and says "Ketchup" (catch up). So the lyrics "catch up! (Ketchup), Soup and puree, don't get left behind" I think come from that.

McCartney could adopt different vocal techniques. If you haven’t heard ‘Oh Darling’, that’s worth a listen. The female voice is his wife Linda.

This album has become my favorite of Paul's post-Beatles works - he just did what he felt and let it flow with no expectations. Just a great showcase of his deep musical vocabulary.

That's a ram on the cover. The album is officially by "Paul And Linda McCartney'. And yes Linda is background vocals.

You finally went so deep you drowned me. I don’t know this song. And yes you need to get into Wings. The best of McCartney solo.

Monkberry is a favorite of all Beatles fans.

Paul's vocals in another universe.

This song was written for, & performed for *_his children._* That's why all the silliness throughout. No doubt he frequently performed for them & no doubt they were always highly entertained by their "silly Daddy."

Imo greatest rock vocalist, greatest rock songwriter next to Bob Dylan and one of the greatest bassist....makes him what? The greatest!

Weird place to start but Ram is a great album!

It was such fun to experience this with you guys! It sounds like Paul was feeling free, and letting his hair down.

One of the main reasons why you never heard of this album is because Jann Wenner, the founder of Rollings Stone Magazine, was a fan of John Lennon. He started a campaign that favored Lennon and discriminated against McCartney. The mainstream media followed in lockstep and throughout the 70's and 80's McCartney's work was ignored or ridiculed...

You know what’s crazy about this guy is that he’s this eras Mozart. It’s hard to imagine that there is anyone else in the 20th and 21st century who could pull over 100 hits. Between his solo stuff, Wings and the Beatles you can easily put together an untouchable collection of music. He’s as important to modern music as anyone. End Of Story

This is the Oh Darling! voice.

Paul is invoking Screamin’ Jay Hawkins with this one.

Maybe I’m Amazed by Paul is the greatest love/gospel song ever. ❤

The critics really knocked this album 50yrs ago. but th ey speak much more highly of it now😊

"Oh Woman Oh Why" has another high screaming vocal from Paul

Paul is singing about that good stuff (puff) and sprinkling it with catchy kids lyrics for his children.

McCartneys vocals are an Homage to Screaming Jay Hawkins.

Ram is a fantastic album, and Linda’s vocals and harmonies are excellent throughout.

McCartney spilled his genius all over the place for two decades. One of a kind

You’ve got to listen to Maybe I’m amazed from his first solo album. A classic!!!!

Monkberry Moon Delight meaning. From The Beatles Bible: So, monk was always milk, and monkberry moon delight was a fantasy drink, rather like 'Love Potion No. 9', hence the line in the song, 'sipping monkberry moon delight'. It was a fantasy milk shake.

I've never heard this song before. It's great!! Paul's voice is awesome! It's Linda singing backup.

One thing that I only found out recently is that Paul is the ONLY person to have a number 1 song in the charts every year from 1963 to 1988!! Be that as part of a group, duo or solo. No one will EVER do that again. Legend.

I’ve been in lock-step with my man in the Blue Jays hat since I was 2! McCartney RULES

I love the vocal range of Paul, this is one of my favourites for that, some other similar vocals of his you may have missed are, Long tall Sally, She's a woman, Helter Skelter, Oh Darling and Soily (live '76).

Paul did sing like an animal here . I also believe he played every intrument ,not just bass !!!

The vocal style of McCartney on this one reminds me of the Beatles doing Helter Skelter on the White album with Paul on vocals!

OMG!!! My favorite solo PAUL song....such a GUSTY vocal by Paul....nice job GUYS!!!! Paul lived on a farm in the middle of NO where with Linda after the Beatles dissolved...(Linda on Backing vocals) Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey is also KILLER from this record!

The album is credited to Paul and Linda McCartney.

This album, his second solo, is amazing. Plenty of fun tunes. All DIY with some

Many dont take mccartney seriously. Out of ignorance. He is actually king.

Yeah, that was Paul's wife, Linda, on backing vocals. Paul is a monster on bass!

I like the raw vocals! Have no idea what it’s about! Lol! One of my faves. I sang my kids to sleep with the ballads on this one! Thanks

RAM was an experimental album. Linda singing back up.

It's an insane song voiced by an insane character. I have no idea how he did it, but I loved him even more the first time I heard this song, the say I bought Ram.

Ram is worth a full album reaction. Not a bad song in the bunch.

Hey guys, as a lifelong Beatle fan I just love your reactions to them and the individual stuff. Monkberry moon Delight has been one of my favourites, I laughed out loud when you said, ''That was dangerous.'' Great review. Have you heard Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey?

Not one I would have lead off with, but Paul's discography has some greats, welcome to the machine!

McCartney went this hard if not harder on Helter Skelter on the Beatles White Album great job as always guys keep them coming

The baddest thing Paul did was pull together a very raw Wings, rehearse and record fun-to-play songs, and hit the road playing college bars. AFTER the Beatles! Imagine you're at the Student Union when Paul and Linda show up asking if there's somewhere they can plug in. 😎

This song is about a drink his kids drank --- just for fun, with the kids song. The RAM is a ram. Too Many People is a great song. Cool album, Paul.

Who out there that saw the 76 tour wishes he had done something from Ram? Maybe Heart Of The Country during the acoustic set? I love these guys videos!

I liked the work of Paul McCartney when he sang in the Wings group, in 1971 after the breakup of the Beatles, the Wings group was created by Paul where his wife Linda McCartney sang and played keyboards, the group enjoyed stable success in the 1970s. 12 Wings singles were in the British Top 10 (one of them, "Mull of Kintyre", stayed at the 1st place for 9 weeks), 14 singles - in the American Top 10 (of which 6 went to the 1st place). Eight albums of the group were included in the top ten of the charts in the US and Britain, and in the US five albums in a row climbed to the top. Of course, Paul Macartney's further career was a great success, many hits were written, but I personally remember his work in Wings.

This fantastic song is a musical masterpiece, sonically full, and deep. I just love Paul's scatting on this!

I've loved McCartney all my life! Saw him just six years after the Beatles breakup! Brings me such joy to see you guys appreciate this after all these years! If you're interested... he has a massive backlog of music to check out!

I love both your reactions to this song! Priceless. Actually perhaps the most surprised reaction I've seen to date. Respect ✊🏻

Ram is one of my favourite albums ever. Not a bad track on the whole album.

I bought this album when it came out in ‘71 and loved it at the time but it got some bad reviews especially from qRolling Stone magazine who were firmly in the Lennon camp post Beatles breakup. Paul had a tough time after the breakup and Linda pulled him out of his funk. This is the second album they recorded together and it is a gem. For me right up there with All Things Must Pass as the best Beatles solo album. Paul was energized and clearly not afraid to experiment and try new things with songs like this. Thanks fellas. I knew you would love this one.

Love every song of this album

I parrot others, you really need to hear him on the Beatles Helter Skelter and Oh Darling if you liked this brilliant little ditty off the classic album RAM. Great stuff. Paul McCartney is on the short list of greatest musicians of all time. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶

If you want more of the "hard" McCartney listen to Oh Darlin' from the Beatles

Together and solo the ex Beatles did well.Linda mccartney harmony with Paul and Paul kills it on bass so melodic.

This song could have been on the White Album.

One of my favorite Paul McCartney track from RAM.

Paul played nearly all of the instruments on this album, not just the bass, along with his wife, Linda Eastman.

I looked at the name of this song and I had a pretty big sized grin knowing that you were going to a different zone while trying to figure this out . .RAM is my very fav McCartney album ,it is full of awesome songs ..

My favorite McCartney song and in my top 4 songs of all time.

What a fun and unusual song.

Back vocal is Linda McCartney; his late wife. This whole album is masterpiece !

One of my all time fav albums. Bunch of gems

Listen every song of this album this album is very good it's linda the back vocal the wife of McCartney

That is Linda McCartney his wife on background vocals.

Love this album! The first one I ever bought in 1971 at 12/13. His wife Linda sang backup.

Great reaction! One of Paul's best, which is saying something. Have heard it hundreds of times and am still in awe each time i hear it. Best vocals ever recorded by anyone.

Not one I would have started with but Paul’s vocals are o/s. Also, I feel he never got enough credit for his bass playing. He is one of the greats. If you want to hear him at his best vocally, you must listen to the live version of Maybe I’m Amazed from the Wings Over America Tour. It’s really an iconic performance. Thanks guys, loved this reaction. 🔥

You should listen to Paul shred on Oh Darling in his Beatles days. Also check out Matbe I'm Amazed from Paul's first solo album.

Thank y'all for doing this song. I was seven years old when my oldest sister brought this album home. I listened to this album over and over and over, and this was my introduction to great music. I always thought I was the only person on Earth that liked this song, but it is great to see so many people enjoyed it just as much as I did. BTW, this songs is on my playlist. :)

Love this song

People forget that this isn't just an album by Paul McCartney. It's by both Paul and Linda. The album also bombed when it was released.

I love Paul and wings

When McCartney's daughter was little she would call milk "monk." So he wrote a song about it as a "fantasy milk shake."

The woman singing in the background was his lovely wife Linda McCartney! This was his second album post Beatles and after this album they created Wings with Denny Laine. This is my absolute favorite McCartney song and album and Linda compliments him so well on it.

Great reaction!! Just do the whole album. And yes…listen to all of their solo stuff, then listen to the Beatles, again.

Seriously underrated for his bass playing u guys are right about the dangerous carnival feel ha wow

I highly recommend ‘The Backseat of My Car’ (my favorite McCartney song) and ‘Too Many People’ off this album. The whole album is epic but those two songs are extra 🤌🏽🤌🏽 ‘Backseat’ is like a movie in music form. BTW, this album (his second post Beatles) is credited to him and his wife, Linda. Yes, that’s her singing. Wings starts with the next album. And Monkberry Moon Delight is a fantasy drink he made up for his kids! 🤯

His first two solo albums are great

Great job guys. Love your open minds to music. The world needs more of this. Enjoy music.

All instruments by Paul

McCartney played all the instruments on his first two albums

Band on the Run, 1973, is his best album.

Ringo solo is the best in my opinion. Photograph is amazing! You'll love him....he still tours as Ringo's All Star Band, guy is pushing 80 and you'd swear he is 40 years younger

One of my favorite solo McCartney songs, showing his incredible range as a songwriter and musician. There are a lot of great solo albums from people who left successful bands. As much as I fretted when Peter Gabriel left Genesis in 1975, his solo career way more than made up for what else he might have done with Genesis, and he could never top his work on The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway as a member of a band. I highly recommend the title track from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway to pique your interest in that dense album, but I have to have some Black Coffee first. :)

Ah, you finally get to my favorite post-Beatles Beatle solo album. I love this, but it sounds best when the whole album is heard in one sitting. It's not exactly a concept album, but the songs tend to lead into each other.

Beatifulll

Ram is a great album!

So I sat in the attic, a piano up my nose And the wind played a dreadful cantata (Cantata, cantata) Sore was I from the crack of an enemy's hose And the horrible sound of tomato (Tomato, tomato) Ketchup (Ketchup) Soup and puree (Soup and puree) Don't get left behind (Get left behind) Ketchup (Ketchup) Soup and puree (Soup and puree) Don't get left behind (Get left behind, get left behind, get left behind) When a rattle of rats had awoken The sinews, the nerves, and the veins My piano is boldly outspoken And attempts to repeat his refrain So I stood with a knot in my stomach And I gazed at that terrible sight Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel Sucking monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Well, I know my banana is older than the rest And my hair is a tangled beretta (Beretta, beretta) And when I leave my pyjamas to Billy Budapest And I don't get the gist of your letter (Your letter, your letter) Catch up! (Catch up) Cats and kittens (Cats and kittens) Don't get left behind (Get left behind) Catch up! (Catch up) Cats and kittens (Cats and kittens) Don't get left behind (Get left behind, get left behind, get left behind) Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Sucking monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Try some of this honey What is it? Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight Monkberry moon delight

I know, right? Delightful.

The moment I heard this song I realized what an insane vocalist Paul is. Like, I’m not sure he can go to these places anymore, but the fact that he had so many voices and was able to use all of them proficiently is awesome. Ringo also had some pretty good songs in his solo career as well.

Wow, La and Che, you have some great subscribers, and some great taste--MMD is an overlooked treasure that few know and appreciate. And, bonus: it's slang for weed. The name is based on his kid's word for milk. So on the surface, he's talking about his kids drinking milkshakes, but really talking about him and Linda smoking weed--yes, that's her on background vocals. "So I stood with a knot in my stomach, and gazed at the terrible sight Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel, suckin' Monkberry Moon Delight" At the end: Hey honey, try some of this! ::suck:: ::choked, holding-in-toke voice:: What is it? Monkberry Moon Delight! Your "dark carnival" observation is on point. McCartney's voice is indeed fantastic--he can go from sweet and pure, to harsh and hard. For more hardness, try Helter Skelter and Oh Darling. What I love the most about this is that--across all the years and changes--you get this music. What a delight, and a credit to you. So cool.
