'Venus and Mars' / 'Rock Show'
is a single by 1970s rock band
Wings and as songs are the

album Venus and Mars. The

Released in promotion of the
album Venus and Mars, this
single became the first Paul
McCartney single (solo and
with Wings) to fail to chart
in the UK Singles Chart.The
chorus of Rock Show mentions
concerts at Amsterdam's
Concertgebouw, New York's
Madison Square Garden, and Los
Angeles' Hollywood Bowl. The
verses also name-drop other
musical acts, including Jimmy
Page.'Jet' was a hit song from
Paul McCartney and Wings' Band
on the Run album. The song
peaked at #7 in both the UK
and U.S. charts on March 30th,
1974. It was later used in the
first episode of I'm Alan
Partridge, where Alan jumps
off his bed and gives himself
a black eye. Along with 'Helen
Wheels' and 'Junior's Farm' it
is another McCartney song
where his primary inspiration
for composing the song arose
in daily life. [1]The song
also spawned the name of
Australian rock band Jet. The
song is about his black pet
horse called Jet but there are
claims it may also be about a
black Labrador he had, also
called Jet.
