Arrow Through Me

"Arrow Through Me" is a song by the British–American rock band Wings, released on their 1979 album "Back to the Egg".
Background.
"Arrow Through Me", unlike most songs on "Back to the Egg", is more pop-oriented than rock-oriented.
"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. DeRiso rated "Arrow Through Me" to be Wings' 8th greatest song. "Billboard Magazine" described it as "a light and bouncy midtempo tune with sparse orchestration."
Release.
It was the A-side of the second US single released from "Back to the Egg" and peaked at number 29. The B-side was "Old Siam, Sir", which was the A-side of the first UK single.
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)". It also appeared in the "WKRP in Cincinnati" episode "God Talks to Johnny" (1979).
In 2020, the song appeared in episode 2 (track 2) of Hulu's TV series adaptation of Nick Hornby's novel "High Fidelity" starring Zoe Kravitz.
