Song facts

“All You Horse Riders” is a song written and performed by Paul McCartney, recorded during the sessions for “McCartney II” in 1979. It remained officially unissued till the the re-edition of “McCartney II” in 2011, as part of the Archive Collection.

In The 12 Weirdest Paul McCartney Songs listed by RollingStone: “Let’s go for a ride!” Incredibly, some material was just too weird for McCartney II. This track, best described as synthesizer cow-punk, was left off the album (although it resurfaced decades later as a bonus track).“
