"C'mon People" is a song by the English singer-songwriter Paul McCartney, released in February 1993 by Parlophone as the second single from his ninth album, Off the Ground (1993). The song reached number 41 on the UK Singles Chart.
The accompanying music video for "C'mon People" was directed by ex-10cc member Kevin Godley and shows McCartney at the piano singing the song while workmen speedily deconstruct it and re-build it around him. It was produced by Iain Brown/Geoff Foulkes for Medialab and released in February 1993. Described by Godley as a "cross between a Bing Crosby Christmas Special on acid and 'All You Need Is Love' on wheels", the video was shot over three days at Bray Studios in Windsor. A further week in a motion control studio incorporated difference mattes, a technique which created the illusion of a piano transforming from a shell into a complete Steinway.[2]
All songs were written by Paul McCartney except "Keep Coming Back to Love", co-written by Hamish Stuart.
