It was also released as the B-side of the "Jet" single in the US, but was replaced by "Let Me Roll It" when "Mamunia" was being considered as a possible future A-side.[1][2][1] Music and lyrics"Mamunia" was written in Marrakesh early in 1973.[2] The title was inspired by the hotel Mamounia in which the McCartneys were staying at the time.[2][3][1] Mamounia means "safe haven" in Arabic.[2][3][1] According to author John Blaney, McCartney used the term as a "metaphor for rebirth."[2] "Mamunia" is one of several songs on Band on the Run, including title track and "Bluebird," which espouse a theme of escape and freedom.[4] The song's verses use rain as a metaphor for the difficult times people face.[13] The song's message is to not complain about difficult times because everyone faces tough times and it's better to focus on your "safe haven" during those times.[13] "Mamunia" was the first song recorded for Band on the Run in Lagos, Nigeria.[2][5] Paul McCartney sings the lead vocals and plays guitar and bass, Denny Laine plays guitar and sings backing vocals, and Linda McCartney provides backing vocals as well.[2] One of McCartney's roadies plays bass drum.[3] Like "Bluebird," "Mamunia" is primarily acoustic.[6] Music critic Robert Christgau described the song's intro as "Afro-soul."[7] The song and the refrain are in the key of A major and the verses are in the key of C major.[5] Authors Chip Madinger and Mark Easter describe the song as "so lightweight it'll float off" but note that it is "relentlessly melodic."[3] Personnel
Critics commentsProfessor Vincent Benitez described it as a "typical example of McCartney's style of pop music."[5] Blaney describes it as "a bright and breezy pop song, celebrating the good things in life and equally as delightful.[2] Mojo Magazine described it as "a pearl of naive wisdom."[8] Authors Robert Dimery and Michael Lydon described "Mamunia" as a "solid side-two track."[9] Paul McCartney biographer Peter Carlin claimed that "Mamunia" "takes a more laid-back approach to the sentiment in [The Beatles' song] 'Rain.'"[10] Author Tim Riley concurs the song's relationship to "Rain," calling it a "pale rewrite of Lennon's "Rain," but praises its "smart two-key framework."[11] Music videoA music video was made for "Mamunia" in July 1974.[3] Jim Quick was the producer.[3] The video is mostly animated, and Paul McCartney does not appear.[3] It was first shown on The Dave Cash Radio Show."[3] It appears on the 2007 video set The McCartney Years.[12] CoversDon Fleming covered "Mamunia" on his 2003 Band on the Run remake.[13] Larry Page covered the song on his mid-1990s albums John Paul George Ringo and Imagine.[14]References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|title=Band on the Run|author=McGee, G.|pages=56, 60, 203|publisher=Taylor Trade|year=2003|isbn=0878333045}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite book|title=Lennon and McCartney: together alone: a critical discography of their solo work|author=Blaney, J.|pages=85–87|year=2007|publisher=Jawbone Press|isbn=978-1-906002-02-2}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 {{cite book|title=Eight Arms to Hold You|author1=Madiger, C. |author2=Easter, M. |lastauthoramp=yes |page=189|year=2000|publisher=44.1 Productions|isbn=0-615-11724-4}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=Fab Four FAQ 2.0: The Beatles' Solo Years 1970–1980|author=Rodriguez, R.|page=160|year=2010|publisher=Hal Leonard|isbn=978-0-87930-968-8}} 5. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book|title=The Words and Music of Paul McCartney: The Solo Years|author=Benitez, V.P.|pages=74–75|year=2010|publisher=Praeger|isbn=978-0-313-34969-0}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Spotlight: Band on the Run|newspaper=Billboard Magazine|page=28|date=March 13, 1999|editor=Verna, P.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6A0EAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA28&lpg=PA28&dq=mamunia+mccartney&source=bl&ots=A3gsjpufk0&sig=VPPXwj6YfUYm4jGY-Xai55SNy4M&hl=en&sa=X&ei=kRl4UKKjC4W50AGc6oG4Cg&ved=0CFcQ6AEwBzgK#v=onepage&q=mamunia%20mccartney&f=false|accessdate=2012-10-12}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Band on the Run|url=http://www.robertchristgau.com/get_album.php?id=2687|author=Christgau, R.|publisher=robertchristgau.com|accessdate=2012-10-12}} 8. ^{{cite book|title=The Mojo Collection: 4th Edition|page=322|publisher=Canongate|year=2007|isbn=9781847676436}} 9. ^{{cite book|title=1001 albums you must hear before you die|author1=Dimery, R. |author2=Lydon, M. |lastauthoramp=yes |page=306|year=2010|publisher=Pennsylvania State University|isbn=9780789320742}} 10. ^{{cite book|title=Paul McCartney: A Life|author=Carlin, P.A.|page=234|year=2009|publisher=Simon & Schuster|isbn=9781416562092}} 11. ^{{cite book|title=Tell Me Why: The Beatles: Album By Album, Song By Song, The Sixties And After|author=Riley, T.|pages=354, 358|year=2002|publisher=Da Capo|isbn=9780306811203}} 12. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1049706/mccartney-unearths-live-clips-videos-for-dvd |title=McCartney Unearths Live Clips, Videos For DVD |newspaper=Billboard |date=24 August 2007 |accessdate=8 October 2007}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Band on the Run|url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/band-on-the-run-mw0001352987|author=Chadbourne, E.|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=2012-10-11}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Larry Page: Mamunia|url=http://www.allmusic.com/song/mamunia-mt0030048357|publisher=Allmusic|accessdate=2012-10-11}} External links
