"Jet", a hit song from Paul McCartney and Wings' acclaimed Band on the Run album, is about one of McCartney's dogs.[citation needed] McCartney is often thought to have written "Martha My Dear" about another of his dogs on The White Album. The pet labrador puppy in question is named Jet, and the song peaked at #7 in both the UK and U.S. charts on March 30th, 1974. Along with "Helen Wheels" and "Junior's Farm" it is another McCartney classic where primary inspiration arose in daily life. [1]
