"Helen Wheels" is a song by the English-American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings.
The song was named after Paul and Linda McCartney's Land Rover, which they nicknamed "Hell on Wheels".
However, Capitol Records vice president of promotion Al Coury persuaded McCartney to include it on the American release.
"[3]The music video was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg (who also directed the Beatles' final movie Let it Be) and shows McCartney singing and playing his left-handed Rickenbacker 4001 bass, Linda playing a Minimoog synthesizer and singing backing vocals, Denny Laine playing his Fender Telecaster Thinline and singing backing vocals while additional footage shows McCartney doubling on drums and lead guitar in place of departed members Denny Seiwell and Henry McCullough, both of whom quit the band prior to the sessions for Band on the Run, and the trio in a car.
"[5] Cash Box called it "a savage rocker from a band that has become more proficient at rock with each outing.
