Paul McCartney & Wings - Wild Life (Live from 'The Bruce McMouse Show', 1972)

Towards the end of Wings 1972 European tour, Paul decided to film some of the concerts for a potential TV special. It seems that all the filming was done during the day at the venue of the actual concert that would take place that night and a "fake" audience was specially filmed for later inclusion to give the impression it was an actual live concert.

While taken a walk thru an african park one day
I saw a sign say, "the animals have the right of way"
Wild life, whatever happened to
Wild life, the animals in the zoo?
We're breathing so hard
A lot of political nonsense in the air
You're making it hard
For the people who live in there
You're moving so fast, but, baby
You know not where
Wild life, (wild life), what's gonna happen to
Wild life, (wild life), the animals in the zoo?
You'd better stop, there's animals everywhere
And man is the top, an animal too
And, man, you just got to care
Wild life, (wild life), what's gonna happen to
Wild life, (wild life), the animals in the zoo?
You're breathing a lot of
Polical nonsense in the air
You're making it hard
For the people who live in there
Wild life, (wild life), what's gonna happen to
(What's gonna happen to) (what's gonna happen to)
Wild life, (wild life), the animals in the zoo?
(What's gonna happen to) (what's gonna happen to)
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
(What ever happened to?)
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?
Wild life, what ever happened to?
What ever happened to?

This is a prime example of why Paul is so impressive. He has an ability to not only write an amazing melody(counter melodies, harmonies, etc) but to vary that melody on a whim in a way that is at once completely unexpected and utterly perfect. He does it with his basslines constantly. Here he is doing it with his voice. He is a true musical genius. Arguably the best to ever do it.

[MoreCovers]

Bro, this song is so severely underrated omg.

[rossetti]

this version is a masterpiece. paul’s voice is perfect, i’m crying

[brywool]

Jesus, his voice KILLS here. SO freaking amazingly good.

[GoodtTot]

The music is a calm background, and Paul's vocals are like a punch to the face. Just like the nature when humans came along.

[bryanwilson]

Crazy how he was just 29 here. What a powerhouse he was through his 20s and beyond. This guy had the talent and wisdom of someone 50 years older.

[CommentaryinSpace]

This version is far superior to the album version in my opinion. Paul's vocals are so much more raw, and the keyboard part is much more pleasing to listen to.

[jods]

Easily one of the best live vocal performances of all time!

[finw]

fucking wished he sang more like this on his albums man he could belt it out just as much as John

[randomgamers]

In my opinion one of the best or maybe even Paul's best live preformence, this was amazing, and such a underrated album/song

[RCMather]

More of this stuff from 1972/73 needs to be properly released. Wings were a great live rock band, a fact that gets overlooked.

[InstantKarma]

Paul expressed the view after Hey Jude his singing was even more effective when he combined contrasting vocals of rage and soft vocals

[ujbjqms]

В мире никогда больше не будет такого талантливого композитора и певца .

[arcticfoxinsox]

God his voice is so insanely good here. I wish he did more songs where he sounded like this, stuff like monkberry moon delight

[Jadair]

Paul's deep voice makes me crazy.

[israelpaez]

Dios que voz!! Para mí el mejor artista de la música.

[heliopolis]

What a voice. No one has ever screamed so melodically.

[benp.]

Wow, what a voice! Also, he was somewhat ahead of the time rocking a mullet in 1972 😂

[dalenharris]

Voice is incredible, I wish this version was on spotify
