It was released as a double A-side with "Hi, Hi, Hi" in 1972. The single reached No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart and since "Hi Hi Hi" was banned by the BBC, "C Moon" received much airplay in the United Kingdom.{{sfn|McGee|2003|p=35}}[1] In the United States, "C Moon" did not appear on any of the major record charts.[2] Lyrics and structureThe name "C Moon" was inspired by lyrics in the song "Wooly Bully" by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs. McCartney said, "There's a line in [Wooly Bully] that says, 'Let's not be L7.' Well, L7, it was explained at the time, means a square—put L and 7 together and you get a square... So I thought of the idea of putting a C and a moon together (a half-moon) to get the opposite of a square. So 'C Moon' means cool, in other words."{{sfn|McGee|2003|p=198}} The recording includes a missed-cue intro that was kept in the released version.[3] The song is in the key of C and is in 4/4 time. The performers change instruments from their usual places. Guitarist Henry McCullough plays drums, guitarist Denny Laine plays bass, and drummer Denny Seiwell plays xylophone.{{sfn|Rhino Records|2007}} The song was recorded around the same time as "Hi, Hi, Hi", in November 1972.[4] Releases
The song was included on the Paul McCartney compilation albums All the Best! (1987) and Hits and History (2001). It was also included as a bonus track on the 1993 remastered CD of Red Rose Speedway, as part of The Paul McCartney Collection. Personnel
