"Eat at Home" is a 1971 single by Paul and Linda McCartney that also appeared on their album Ram from the same year. The song, a standard rock number, features McCartney on lead vocals, electric guitar, bass and drums and Linda McCartney performing backing vocals.[1]
Charts
The single was not released in the UK or the US.[1] It was released in several European countries and reached #7 in the Netherlands and #8 in Norway.[2]
Aftermath
Music critic Stewart Mason of Allmusic described it as McCartney's homage to Buddy Holly,[3] and Stephen Thomas Erlewine, also of Allmusic, described it as "a rollicking, winking sex song."[4]
Although John Lennon was highly critical of many of the songs on Ram, feeling they were veiled attacks on him, he publicly admitted that he enjoyed this particular song quite a bit.[5]
Little Joy often included a cover of the song in their setlist during the Little Joy tour.
