Silly Love Songs
1976년 발표된 윙스의 싱글. Wings at the Speed of Sound 앨범에 수록되었다. 디스코의 전성시대였던 1970년대 중반 흐름에 제대로 편승한 곡으로 통통 튀는 베이스 리듬과 브라스 사운드가 경쾌한 전형적인 디스코, 펑크(Funk) 장르의 곡이다. 사운드와 편곡에서는 알 그린의 Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy)에 큰 영향을 받았다.
빌보드 핫 100 5주 연속 1위, 1976년 빌보드 핫 100 연말 차트 1위에 오르며 1976년을 통틀어서 미국에서 제일 성공한 곡이다. 비틀즈 시절 빌보드 연말 차트 1위를 기록한 곡은 1964년 I Want To Hold Your Hand, 1968년 Hey Jude 두 곡이다. 비틀즈 해체 이후 멤버들 솔로 활동에선 이 곡 뿐인데, 이 곡을 통해 폴 매카트니는 빌보드 역사상 유일하게 3개의 연말 차트 1위 곡을 기록한 아티스트가 됐다. 동시에 비틀즈 멤버들의 솔로 활동 시절 히트곡 중 (Just Like) Starting Over, My Sweet Lord, Got My Mind Set on You, Say Say Say 등과 더불어 가장 크게 성공한 노래이며, 폴 매카트니 솔로 경력 사상 최대의 히트곡이다. 1958년~2018년 빌보드 핫 100 올타임 차트에선 40위에 올랐다.
가사는 굉장히 단순한데, 폴의 노래는 멜로디만 달콤하지 가사는 덮어두고 사랑 타령만 하는 진부한 내용 일색이라는 평론가들의 비난에 '사랑이 뭐 어때서!'라며 정면으로 맞서는 듯한 가사이다. 어찌 보면 'Listen to What the Man Said'의 메시지를 조금 더 노골적으로 드러낸 곡이자 폴 매카트니식 작사 스타일의 정수를 보여주는 곡.

Silly Love Songs
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
한심한 사랑 노래는 지겹게 들었다고 생각하겠지만
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
하지만 내가 보기엔 그런 것 같지 않아요.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
한심한 사랑 노래로 세상을 채우고 싶어하는 사람들도 있거든요.
And what's wrong with that?
그래서 뭐가 잘못이란 거죠?
I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again
알고 싶어요. 저는 또 이렇게 노래할거거든요.
I love you, I love you
사랑해요, 당신을 사랑해요.
I love you, I love you
사랑해요, 당신을 사랑해요.
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, say can't you see?
내게는 너무나 당연한 느낌인데 설명할 수가 없네요. 당신은 모르나요?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me
아, 그 사람은 나에게 더 많이 베풀었답니다. 모든 것을 나에게 바쳤어요.
Now can't you see,
이래도 모르겠어요?

Love doesn't come in a minute,
사랑은 한 순간에 오는 게 아니에요.
sometimes it doesn't come at all
때로는 전혀 오지않을 수도 있어요.
I only know that when I'm in it
사랑에 빠졌을 때에만 알 수 있죠.
It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly, love isn't silly at all.
그건 한심한 일이 아니에요. 아뇨. 한심하지 않아요. 사랑은 절대로 한심한 게 아니에요.
How can I tell you about my loved one
내가 사랑하는 사람에 대해 어찌 설명할 수 있을까요?
