"Helen Wheels" is a song by Paul McCartney & Wings. The song was named after Paul and Linda McCartney's Land Rover, which they nicknamed "Hell on Wheels".[1]
The song was released as a single prior to Band on the Run and therefore was not included on the original British release of the album. However, it was included on the original American release and also the 25th anniversary version. The song was also included on Wingspan. The song peaked at number 10 in the United States on 12 January 1974 and at number 12 on the United Kingdom charts.[2][3][4]
