Eat at Home is a 1971 single by Paul and Linda McCartney that also appeared on their album Ram from the same year.[1] The single was not released in the UK or the US.[1] It was released in several European countries and reached #7 in the Netherlands and #8 in Norway.[2]
Music critic Stewart Mason of Allmusic described it as McCartney's homage to Buddy Holly,[3] and Stephen Thomas Erlewine, also of Allmusic, described it as a "a rollicking, winking sex song."[4]
Although John Lennon was highly critical of many of the songs on Ram, feeling they were veiled attacks on him, he had publicly admitted that he enjoyed this particular song quite a bit.
