Background[edit]
The song was written during a trip on a yacht to the Virgin Islands, in which McCartney would press a key on a keyboard a certain amount of times in which it would sound like morse code.[1]
Reviews[edit]
Ted Montgomery called the song a "completely bizarre, seemingly meaningless and utterly perplexing song" and mentioned that the song bared an uncanny resemblance to Grey Seal by Elton John from his 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.[2]
Legacy[edit]
The song’s bass line was later reused on the Twin Freaks remix of Coming Up from McCartney II.[3]
