Fun Music Information -> Wings
This is the most recent information about Wings that has been submitted to amIright. If we have more information about Wings, then we provide a link to the section where it appears (the actual page whenever possible).
Band Name Origins:
- There is an old movie called "The Shape of Things to Come" starring a very young Raymond Massey. It is a post apocalyptic cautionary tale of a world run by anarchists after the "final war". However, a group of scientists (ALA Ayn Rands "Atlas Shrugged" but before her novel) comes along with high tech tools and weapons to restore order. They have some interesting "flying wing" type planes (pictured on their self titled album cover "Wings") that they use to do this. And they call themselves "Wings Over the World". This is where they derived the name. If you doubt this go rent the movie and then look at the graphics on the album. Submitted by: yogi
- Paul McCartney fought a lot of harsh criticism to have his wife (Linda) in the band, and given that the name "Wings" came to him while his daughter Stella was being born. Linda had hard difficulties while she was pregnant and Paul had visions of angel?s wings. (from TV-document "the story of Wings"). Submitted by: Imppa
Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" | "Uncle Albert" is clearly the title of the first part of the song, and while the second part does mention "Admiral Halsey," he is only mentioned once. The second part is better known for its "Hands across the water" chorus, which I originally thought was the title. - Raphael |
