Lyrics
[edit]According to Katie Kapurch, the song is about a warplane that keeps flying away.[2]
Background
[edit]The song was written during a trip on a yacht to the Virgin Islands, in which McCartney would press a key on a keyboard a certain amount of times in which it would sound like morse code.[3]
Reception
[edit]Ted Montgomery called the "Morse Moose and the Grey Goose" a "completely bizarre, seemingly meaningless and utterly perplexing song" and mentioned that the song bared an uncanny resemblance to "Grey Seal" by Elton John from his 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.[4]
PopMatters said there were people who thought it was a complete silly mess and those who loved it.[5]
Legacy
[edit]The song’s bass line was later reused on the Twin Freaks remix of Coming Up from McCartney II.[6]
