Episode 245: Songs Under the Microscope, Vol. 33: "Pipes of Peace" by Paul McCartney
Description
In this episode, we talk about the title song of Paul McCartney's 1983 album Pipes of Peace. In addition to our usual discussion of lyrics and music, we talk about the powerful video that accompanied the song starring two "Pauls" (a German and English one!). This was Paul's last #1 in Britain -- does it live up to that reputation all these years later? And as always, we get into the myriad cover versions as well. Here's a list:

And a rare interview with Paul about this song, looking quite preppy!
