"Bogey Music" is a song by the English musician and former Beatles bassist and vocalist Paul McCartney.
The song got a unofficial sequel that saw a release on the McCartney II Archive Collection.[1]
Background
[edit]The song was made for a film adaptation of Fungus the Bogeyman, but the film never saw a release.[2]
Style
[edit]According to author Vincent P. Benitez Jr. McCartney's vocal sounds very similar to Elvis Presley in it's overall style.[3]
Inspiration
[edit]According to McCartney in the book The Dream is Over: Off The Record 2, he wrote the song for a book called Fungus The Bogeyman, for kids and grown-ups, too, which was sent to him by a guy who wanted to make it into a film and wanted McCartney to write songs for it. As McCartney summarized the story: "The story is a bit strange, and the basic idea is that the bogeymen are people who make bumps in the night. They live beneath the ground and come out at night and frighten people and they like everything that is opposite to what we like. If we like warm dry clothes, they like wet slimy ones."[4]
Recording
[edit]Ted Montgomery stated that the song has "Nice galloping drums and bass part propels this silly little exercise, with lots of echo-y vocals"[5] Steve Hamelman said that it may seem "banal at best, idiotic at worst, but the album was written, engineered, and performed with what Paul McCartney had at his disposal in 1980."[6]
Reception
[edit]Ian Peel commented that it "sounded any different from a Wings demo reel by ploughing the entire vocal track through a reverb"[7]
