Put It There
"Put It There" is a 1990 single from Paul McCartney's 1989 album, Flowers in the Dirt. The song reached number 32 on the UK singles chart. The lyrics were inspired by an expression of friendship and solace that McCartney learned from his father, "Put it there [handshake] if it weighs a ton." Overview Like other songs from Flowers in the Dirt, despite the song's modest chart success, to date "Put It There" has not been included yet on any McCartney compilation album. The 7" single also included "Mama's Little Girl", a Wings song that had been originally recorded in 1972 but had been remixed and produced in its current version in 1987 by McCartney and Chris Thomas. The 12" single included "Same Time Next Year", a second Wings song which had been recorded on 5 and 6 May 1978 at RAK Studios, as a possible theme for the film Same Time, Next Year. It had also been remixed and produced in 1987 by McCartney and Thomas. The 12" single was also released as limited edition (12 RS6246) with an art print from the cover illustration. The cover illustration was drawn by McCartney. According to the liner notes from Geoff Baker,
