Wings’ third single, ‘Hi, Hi, Hi’/‘C Moon’, was released in the United States on 4 December 1972, three days after its UK release.
The song reached number 10 in January 1973, becoming Wings’ first top 10 hit outside the UK.
I suppose it is a bit of a dirty song if sex is dirty and naughty. I was in a sensuous mood in Spain when I wrote it. To me, it was just a song to close our act and since it went down well when we toured the Continent, I thought it would be a good single. I think it’s the best single we’ve done as Wings.
