"Hi, Hi, Hi" is a song written by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by Wings. It was released as a double A-side single with "C Moon" in 1972.
The single peaked at number five in the United Kingdom[1] and at number 10 in the United States in January 1973.[2] The song became a staple of Wings' live shows in the 1970s.
In the UK, the song was banned by the BBC for its sexually suggestive lyrics.[3] The BBC also assumed that the title phrase, "We're gonna get hi, hi, hi" was a drug reference.[4] The specific lyrics objected to is the apparent phrase "get you ready for my body gun"; McCartney has said that the correct lyrics are "get you ready for my polygon", an abstract image, and later said, "The BBC got some of the words wrong. But I suppose it is a bit of a dirty song if sex is dirty and naughty. I was in a sensuous mood in Spain when I wrote it."[3].
