Song #461: "Ballroom Dancing"--Paul McCartney (1982) (And The Top 500 So Far!)

Something I have mad respect for when it comes to Sir Paul is that he never stays in his comfort zone. From his 1982 "Tug of War" release comes a song that was never released as a single, and sure as heck doesn't sound like a "typical" McCartney tune.

And extra points for weaving Davy Crockett in the lyrics of verse two to match "back pocket" in the first. Thanks to XL102 and 3WV in Charlottesville for exposing AOR radio fans like me to this gem.
