what is c moon about by paul mccartney
C Moon
The name `` C Moon '' was inspired by lyrics in the song `` Wooly Bully '' by Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs . McCartney said , `` There 's a line in ( Wooly Bully ) that says , ' Let 's not be L7 . ' Well , L7 , it was explained at the time , means a square -- put L and 7 together and you get a square ... So I thought of the idea of putting a C and a moon together ( a half - moon ) to get the opposite of a square . So ' C Moon ' means cool , in other words . ''
