Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox song "Arrow Through Me" is a song by the British–American rock band Wings, released on their 1979 album Back to the Egg.[1]
Background
"Arrow Through Me", unlike most songs on Back to the Egg, is more pop-oriented than rock-oriented.[2]
Ultimate Classic Rock contributor Nick DeRiso compared the keyboard bass line to those of Stevie Wonder and also praised the "inventive undulating polyrhythm" played by drummer Steve Holley.[3] DeRiso rated "Arrow Through Me" to be Wings' 8th greatest song.[3] Billboard described it as "a light and bouncy midtempo tune with sparse orchestration."[4] Cash Box called the song "a slightly quirky tune" and said that the instrumentation creates a "somber but light backing for the pleading vocals.[5] Record World called it a "unique and throroghly refreshing McCartney effort" whose rhythm "struts while the keyboards ring and bold horn charts inject energy."[6]

Other
The song was used with the opening credits of, and as a main melody line through, the 1980 movie Oh! Heavenly Dog, starring Chevy Chase, Jane Seymour and Benji. In 2010, neo-soul artist Erykah Badu sampled "Arrow Through Me" on an album track called "Gone Baby, Don't Be Long" on her CD New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh).
