Say you've heard this! It's so very good. Another good one to get jammed into the gray matter before the weekend.

"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."
P.S. the songs works best when listened to really LOUD. Really, really loud. Tremendously loud.

This has always been my favorite Paul McCartney song. I think I drove my Mom nuts singing it all the time.
