1977: Paul McCartney releases “Mull of Kintyre” as a Wings single. The tune refers to McCartney’s home on the Kintyre peninsula in Scotland.

It goes on to become his best-selling single (with or without the Beatles) in the UK – also becoming the first song ever to sell 2 million copies in that country. In the United States, the bagpipe-laced tune goes absolutely nowhere.
