One other thing about this being your favorite Paul McCartney song-- when asked in an interview in 1987 what was Paul's favorite, he said, "it's always the new one Im working on, whatever is fresh." So this, at one time, was also Paul McCartney's favorite song of his.
Holy shit very well made. As a fellow believer that temporary secretary is not only Paul McCartney's best but quite possibly the best song ever made, This video touches me like no other.
Paul did play this live during his 2015 tour ahah The fact that he played this in big stadiums is unbelievable I really love it, it was very daring to make this and I'm glad he did experiment electronic sonorites.
When I first heard Temporary Secretary, I refused to believe it was actually by Paul McCartney. It’s been almost a year but I now listen to it unironically and jam out to it.
temporary secretary is literally not only one of my favourite paul mccartney songs but just favourite songs of all time idec if it means my taste is bad shits straight HEAT 🥵
Elliot Roberts! Kind of surreal to see you on my channel, given I watch your stuff all the time. You're the person who got me really into Ram after your video on it :)
It’s so fucked because i was thinking about that exact bridge and tried to remember what song it was from and THOUGHT IT WAS TMBG UNTIL I HEARD TEMPORARY SECRETARY AGAIN
I love it when Paul gets weird, this and “Monkberry Moon Delight” are bizarre. As someone who has worked as an administrative assistant, it can get repetitive and dull, and this song reflects it.
Or listen to it 2x speed to listen to double the temporary secretary, and get the maximum temp sec listen time in the 24 hours of time you have in a day.
I have the McCartney II vinyl, and I confess that the reason I bought it was 85% for temporary secretary, 10% for waterfalls and coming up and 5% for the rest. the music is completely random, but it's incredible. You may even think it's bad, but when you realize it, you're already singing it automatically. That's Paul's power
I’ve always loved this song to death. It’s been like 5 years and it’s still my favorite Paul song, it’s just the weirdest, and cheesiest thing ever yet somehow one of Paul’s catchiest songs for me. I don’t care how stupid it is and how ear grading it is to hear him yell “temporary secretary” every second. I just love it to death
I was in the middle of a math exam last month and was trying to remember a formula but instead my brain pulled out Temporary Secretary and long story short I flunked math. It’s a good song though.
I’ve been loving this song ever since it came up in my discover weekly on Spotify and I’ve shown it to all their friends and now we all can’t stop singing it cuz IT IS a bop and it’s also catchy af
I am very big in synth-punk and like, weird techno stuff so to hear someone like Paul get weird like this was the craziest thing ever. It made me a fan, immediately.
please help. it has now gotten to the point where if i even so much as see a picture of paul mccartney my brain goes TEMPORAARY. SECRETAARY. TEMPORAARY. SECRETAARE.
0:45 It’s funny, I started with Paul McCartney‘s original stuff because I liked most of his songs, and slowly actually grew to love Harrison more. He’s the underrated one he’s one of the best ( in my opinion ). his music is so entangled into my personality now that I cannot imagine myself without George Harrison’s music. by the way, his voice was perfect for dark horse. He did not need to cover that song. It is good the way it is.
th-cam.com/video/YS97PVKy-XU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FRtXrA3AfnaRDrVe it’s funny this one is become a classic for me and my dad and it’s only been like three months since I’ve rediscovered the Beatles.
I love when you call the song an all consuming ear-worm and then end the video with the only Mccartney song that's an even bigger all consuming ear-worm. Check-k-k-k my machine....
Silvagunner did a fusion Collab for Temporary Secretary so I searched for the original to hear what it was like... And now I found a quality channel... Funny how that works innit?
I love Temporary Secretary but as I love Devo and Kraftwerk the synth beat is fine with me. My favorite Paul McCartney songs are Junior's Farm and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey but this would be 3rd.
I think its quite incredible how even 60 years later, after hearing the Beatles once, people will have their own beatlemania phase. Their music is just great like that. I'm currently in my own. 8 months and counting and practically only Beatles
I was lucky in finding the 7 inch 45 of Temp Sec which was only ever released as a demo at a car boot sale , 50p ……..sometimes the cards are in your favour.
1:15 well, I have a job at UPS, which means I have a lot of time to listen to a lot of music. search up Susie Parker that’s a great Beatles hidden gem and so is madman, but they’re also is all things must pass The Beatles version not the Harrison version That’s my favorite Beatles song of all time.
This song always makes me weep uncontrollably because in the Mandela Effect Berenstain universe I was originally from, Daylight Saving Time never existed and this was our beloved U.S. National Anthem. Now hearing it just makes me homesick. ;_;
Temporary Secretary has a kind of cursed magic to it where it becomes more catchy the more times you listen to it. It starts out grating and unwelcome, and eventually becomes ingrained into your consciousness to the point you find yourself singing it to yourself for fun
Love his initial thought of mind. But then like he said....he gets it. The rest is history for a young gen. He knows, nobody did this but Paul for 1979. Look out Then comes “Check My Machine”.......
My older cousin bought this album right when it came out and I remember hearing Temporary Secretary playing while some of us played ping pong in the next room. This was Escondido, CA. This is the first time I've listened to it again since 1980 and boy it sure sounds different than I remember it. It sounds like a video game but I remember it back then being less electronic and more musical, instrumentally sound, and Paul's vocal's more engaging. Strange to me becauase I was listening to Abbey Road almost every other day, so it seemed like I would have made a distinct line in the sand between the two musical styles. So suffice to say Im a bit let down when I hear it again today. Regardless, the song holds an important place in my heart. I have a feeling because anything electronic/video game related was fascinating to me back then, is why the song stuck with me back then but only now can I see with 20/20 hindsight why I would have liked it.
I can relate with the intro in that I only listened to a single band when I got into music, but I won’t mention them here or else I’d be attacked by a Beatles fan.

When paul said "shdubdhshbsudbdbo BEEF."
I felt that.
Me too :(

Oh god, he did not even eats beef.
That was such an insult.

He is real and he is coming for all of our kneecaps.
Now listen to electro pop Neil Young

It's unironically fire
It's absolute trash but yes I completely agree it's beautiful, but wow no please give me none of that crap but yes it's beautiful.
It's the equivalent of a movie being so bad it's good and no one can change my mind.
Temporary secretary is my favourite too.
It's garbage, but it's the type of garbage you find oddly indeering and incredibly fun
When I first clicked on this I thought it was from a TH-camr that had atleast half a mil subs until I finished the video. Really well made vid! Subbed
Some day, my friend, some day. I'm getting on my feet and in the process of streamlining my content right now.
A video on a cult McCartney classic featuring incidental Zelda music? I love it! Nice work, dude :)

Have you heard this one? th-cam.com/video/J63KKxvFH6c/w-d-xo.html
Temporary Secretary is that one song in my head when I’m about to do a test.
Oh god me to
Yes
I just hear the rhythm 💀💀💀
all of mccartney 2 is a hidden gem, i have the record and love it
!!!!!
Listening to the song at 0.5 speed is legally torture
It sounds like alien music.
Or listen to it 2x speed to listen to double the temporary secretary, and get the maximum temp sec listen time in the 24 hours of time you have in a day.

You should make a series dissecting weird Beatles solo work, since you did Ringo a few months ago; and they’re like really enjoyable.
Yeah. I was thinking about doing one for John and one for George, just to keep the theme going.
And then for George I might go over his legal trouble with My Sweet Lord.
@@wolve-potter5775 don't forget the one song where he said a racist word. That shocked me for days. John in case.
Just found your channel because I searched up temporary secretary to see if anybody has talked about it, I’m already in love with your style

Great vid. Only thing missing is PNG Paul saying "y'know" at the end of every sentence. Love the outro beat as well
This is a very underrated channel. I really enjoy your Beatles content.

keep going u have the best video editing skills i ever witness
Thanks! That means a lot. :)
Only Paul McCartney could write a song that’s catchy and damn near unlistenable
4:42 did you get those audio clips of paul speaking gibberish from that one interview he "did" with weird al?
I’m so happy that there’s more people in this world that share love for this song
I was in the middle of a math exam last month and was trying to remember a formula but instead my brain pulled out Temporary Secretary and long story short I flunked math. It’s a good song though.
I asked my parents who they thought wrote temporary secretary as well, and they also guessed they might be giants
How the hell does this video only have 2.3k views? It feels like one of those things that should have gone viral by now
Took a deep dive into wings and Paul’s solo stuff. I’ve already been a fan of ram and stuff like wild life but I’ve found some amazing gems.
The production value is so high, yet the views are so low!!
"Check My Machine" is another overlooked banger.
Temporary Secretary is my favourite song by any artist ever. It's consistently at the top of my Spotify "On Repeat"
I’ve been loving this song ever since it came up in my discover weekly on Spotify and I’ve shown it to all their friends and now we all can’t stop singing it cuz IT IS a bop and it’s also catchy af

For me Tragedy is a really underrated gem of a song that deserves more love
This is the curse of temporary secretary. Once you start playing it… you get sucked in. It takes over.
Holy shit. This is great production! Congrats on this great video
0:45 It’s funny, I started with Paul McCartney‘s original stuff because I liked most of his songs, and slowly actually grew to love Harrison more.

i cant get this song out of my head help help help please this is torture 😭
Thar' be no escape for yee now.
@@TheWaterlooWatermelon noooooooo
Oh how the mad man cackles at your strife.
Classic, but my favorite is Monkberry Moon Delight from RAM
I love McCartney 2, the B side Secret Friend is really great too
Silvagunner did a fusion Collab for Temporary Secretary so I searched for the original to hear what it was like... And now I found a quality channel... Funny how that works innit?
McCartney II is a great album I'm all about Darkroom
Riton - Temporary Secretary is an amazing remix
this is insanely high quality for someone w less that 1k subs this is so good, subbing and putting on notifs my man
So, I unironically loved Temporary Secretary from the very first time I ever listened to it and now I believe that my musical tastes are trash
I bought this album when it came out. Temporary Secretary and Waterfalls were the two I listened to regularly.
My favorite Paul song is between "Check My Machine" and "Secret Friend", so there.
Check My Machine is so fun. I could also easily do a full video about that song.
@@TheWaterlooWatermelon Beef
As somebody whose favorite band of all time is DEVO, I totally get this song's groove and I am pretty sure I love it.
I love Temporary Secretary but as I love Devo and Kraftwerk the synth beat is fine with me. My favorite Paul McCartney songs are Junior's Farm and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey but this would be 3rd.
Birdhouse in Your Soul/Temporary Secretary has opened my mind in ways I didn't think were possible
bro you got the name mixed up, its called "Jerry Temporary"
finally someone else that knows the actual name
no
what
I made a playlist that’s only temporary secretary
When I clicked on this video I actually thought it was going to be about Check My Machine. Nice to see it made a cameo at the end though.
What really gets me is that the Twin Freaks remix version is one of the greatest dance tracks of all time. That guitar really brings it to life.
I think its quite incredible how even 60 years later, after hearing the Beatles once, people will have their own beatlemania phase. Their music is just great like that. I'm currently in my own. 8 months and counting and practically only Beatles
I was lucky in finding the 7 inch 45 of Temp Sec which was only ever released as a demo at a car boot sale , 50p ……..sometimes the cards are in your favour.
I'm so glad there are others out there who also know the truth; temporary secretary is a BOP
so allegedly this was Paul's attempt at a Devo style song. Makes sense why I love it, because Devo have always been my favorite band artistically.
This is the video i have needed since i found this song, thank you.
A channel this well produced not having the views to match is an injustice I must correct. COMMENTS LIKES AND SUBS FOR THE ALGORITHM
i’ve actually known about temporary secretary for a long time now, and despite how weird it is.. i LOVE it
how do you have so little subscribers, i've been watching you for months and youre rgeat :) keep goin mate!!
YESSS!!!!! I KNEW THIS VIDEO WAS ABOUT TEMPORARY SECRETARY AND I LOVE IT
I love this kind of videos, just keep like that your awesome man
1:15 well, I have a job at UPS, which means I have a lot of time to listen to a lot of music. search up Susie Parker that’s a great Beatles hidden gem and so is madman, but they’re also is all things must pass The Beatles version not the Harrison version That’s my favorite Beatles song of all time.
I listened to it properly for the first time yesterday (I had kinda heard parts of it).
I wasn't 'impressed' by it, but I definitely didn't hate it.
This song always makes me weep uncontrollably because in the Mandela Effect Berenstain universe I was originally from, Daylight Saving Time never existed and this was our beloved U.S. National Anthem. Now hearing it just makes me homesick. ;_;
The They Might Be Giants and Macca crossover was beautiful
I love Temporary Secretary so much!
Yeah I probably agree with you, Temporary Secretary might be my favorite Paul song, neither that or Nobody Knows
Had no idea it was inspired by Ian Dury. Dury is one of my favorite musicians and he's massively underrated.
Temporary Secretary has a kind of cursed magic to it where it becomes more catchy the more times you listen to it. It starts out grating and unwelcome, and eventually becomes ingrained into your consciousness to the point you find yourself singing it to yourself for fun
after careful consideration i have found that this video is perfect
I bought 'McCartney II" in 1980, and 'Temporary Secretary' was my 2nd favorite song on the album.
yo i thought this was an ed bangers original and then it popped up on my daily discoveries
i can't explain the feeling i have while listening to temporary secretary i just want to dance wildly out of nowhere
I want to live in the alternative universe where Blue Sway became a massive hit
RIGHT??? Paul has a habit of not releasing his good stuff. The follow-up single to Say Say Say from Pipes of Peace? The aptly-named So Bad.
Paul wrote more songs than most people can listen to. I love Temporary Secretary. Yeh
"Temporary Secretary" is a definite highlight of McCartney II and the best song he released in 1980. Heh!
You gotta listen to Press To Play. It flopped but it's... something.
Ive been trying to decide for years if this song is amazingly ridiculous, or ridiculously amazing.
this is really a great channel
please make more paul content his solo career is the best☺️
Yes please!
This dude need some more subscribers god dammit

found my new fav youtube channel, the part where u were talking to paul had me dead😭
i fucking love that song. it's the weirdest thing paul did and it's fucking brilliant.
