"Magneto and Titanium Man" (by Paul McCartney and The Wings)... back before it was cool

Did anyone know about this?  Sweet

Venus and Mars, the album this is on, hit #1 in America, so it's not like this is an obscure find.

I'd never seen the footage before. Thanks.

"Magneto And Titanium Man"
 

Well I Was Talking Last Night
Magneto And Titanium Man . . .
We Were Talking About You, Babe,
Oo --- They Said ---

You Were Involved In A Robbery
That Was Due To Happen
At A Quarter To Three
In The Main Street.

I Didn't Believe Them
Magneto And Titanium Man . . .
But When The Crimson Dynamo
Finally Assured Me, Well, I Knew

You Were Involved In A Robbery
That Was Due To Happen
At A Quarter To Three
In The Main Street.

So We Went Out
Magneto And Titanium Man . . .
And The Crimson Dynamo
Came Along For The Ride

We Went To Town With The Library
And We Swung All Over That
Long Tall Bank In The Main Street

Well There She Were And To My Despair
She's A Five-Star Criminal
Breaking The Code

Magneto Said "Now The Time Come
To Gather Our Forces And Run!!!"
Oh No . . . . . .
This Can't Be So . . . . . .

And Then It Occurred To Me!

You Couldn't Be Bad
Magneto Was Mad!
Titanium Too!
And The Crimson Dynamo
Just Couldn't Cut It No More
You Were The Law . . . . . .

I've seen it on the BBC a couple of times.

Wings.

What a great band. Too bad egos made it so short-lived.

Awesome that you posted the lyrics, I watched it all the way through and the only thing that I could make out was the hook.

Saw the movie (Rockshow) when it came out in 1980...at which point this poster had been hanging on my bedroom wall for at least three years...and is still hanging in my studio today:

Awesome!  That's the poster that came in the Wings over America double album in 1976 . What an awesome album.

Fixed that fer ya!   

Honestly?  Macca's other band was, and still is, very popular.  But "cool"?  Not so much back then (I was there!); maybe a little more now...

On the other hand, the Ramones singing about their love for Marvel Comics?  That's ETERNALLY cool...!

That's terrible... everyone knows the Titanic Three was Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, and the Slasher!  Geez!

I had the same problem while watching so I looked up the lyrics- figured posting them was helpful

Holy cow, what awesome pictures. Two of the most influential powerhouses of pop culture meeting together. I've never seen this pic before, thx for posting. Just made my day. Think of how different our world would be without Lennon/McCartney and Lee/Kirby.

 Radioactive Man was the third guy. Slasher was their employer.
