original description

Classic! This was inspired by McCartney's Labrador Retriever puppy. It's not the first time McCartney wrote about a dog: when he was with The Beatles, he wrote a song called "Martha My Dear," which was about his Sheepdog. This was released as a single with "Mamunia" as the B-side, but 3 weeks later "Let Me Roll It" replaced it. Australian Rock band, Jet's name comes from this song. McCartney and The Beatles were a big influence on them. (thanks, Bert - Pueblo, NM) This song references David Bowie. Bowie had just made it as a star and McCartney thought he looked like a women. Hence the line " I thought the Major, was a little lady. "Major Tom". Right after that he says Suffragette, referring to "Suffragette City". - Tommy, Flanders, NJ
