Old Siam, Sir
"Old Siam, Sir" is a hard rock single from Wings' 1979 album, Back to the Egg. It was the A-side of the UK version of the single, reaching No. 35. The B-side, "Spin It On" in the UK was also a track from the album, "Back to the Egg". "Old Siam, Sir" was also the B-side of the US single "Arrow Through Me".
Wings drummer Steve Holley, while playing keyboards during a studio session, developed a chord sequence that was eventually used in the instrumental section of the song. According to Wings guitarist Laurence Juber:
...we were jamming one day and Steve Holley was playing keyboards and had this chord sequence.I'm not sure if Paul was playing drums or if it was Linda because we'd trade off in a jamming situation, but what ended up happening was that ended up in the instrumental section of the song. I always felt that Steve should have reeceived some sort of nod for that. Unfortunately, that's the nature of the process in that you don't always get full credit for what you contribute as a musician, especially as the song writing is traditionally words and melody, not chords, licks and grooves. If you could copyright a rhythm, Bo Diddley would have been very happy.
Paul McCartney and guitarist Denny Laine later recorded an instrumental demo for the song called "Super Big Heatwave".
