Background
[edit]Paul McCartney revealed that the song was never meant to be played live, stating "It’s pretty experimental"[3] McCartney stated on the writing on the song: "Because it’s an album track we had a bit more room to manoeuvre. And I think it’s the rebellious aspect of Wild Life coming back in. So you’ve got ‘My Love’, and that’s a proper song. You’ve got some other proper songs on the album. But then we’ve got something like ‘Loup’, where it was sort of a bit of fun for us. It’s pretty experimental. But we didn’t ever play it live, it was just something fun that only existed in the studio."[4] According to Wings in an interview for an interview for the British music magazine Melody Maker: "It’s just a thing really, hard to explain about the first Red Indian on the moon called Loup. It’s just a story but you can see through his eyes."[5]
Reception
[edit]Ian Peel said that the song was "clearly inspired by the progressive and concept rock scenes that were springing up at the time"[6] Tom Doyle said that it was a "Pink Floyd-inspired instrumental"[7] Ted Montgomery said that "Throughout McCartney's career he's had trouble resisting making self-indulgent and head-scratching decisions about including certain songs on his albums"[8] Mark Bowen said that it was a "near equivalent of 'Kreen Akrore' from McCartney." and that it was a "trippy neo-instrumental."[9]
