C'Mon People

Music video
The accompanying music video for "C'mon People" was directed by ex-10cc member Kevin Godley and shows McCartney at the piano singing the song while workmen speedily deconstruct it and re-build it around him. It was produced by Iain Brown/Geoff Foulkes for Medialab and released in February 1993. Described by Godley as a "cross between a Bing Crosby Christmas Special on acid and 'All You Need Is Love' on wheels", the video was shot over three days at Bray Studios in Windsor. A further week in a motion control studio incorporated difference mattes, a technique which created the illusion of a piano transforming from a shell into a complete Steinway.Track listings
