Back In The USSR

Back in the U.S.S.R. was penned by Paul McCartney and serves as a joyful parody of the Beach Boys songs about America, with a sprinkle of Chuck Berry influence. McCartney aimed to produce a track that celebrated the Soviet Union in a fun manner, blending rock and roll with Cold War geopolitical themes.

Key: A
