"Pipes of Peace" is a song written by the English musician Paul McCartney and the title track on his 1983 studio album of the same name.
At Chobham Common, Surrey, a video was shot for "Pipes of Peace", depicting the famous 1914 Christmas truce between British and German troops.
[11] The video was produced by Hugh Symonds, featured more than 100 extras and, for added realism, McCartney had his hair cut short especially for the shoot.
As in "Pipes of Peace" the British and German soldier return to their trenches to discover that they have inadvertently swapped their gifts from home.
In 2017, the American indie pop band Muna covered the song for Capitol Music Group’s compilation Holidays Rule Vol.
