"Helen Wheels" is a song by Paul McCartney and Wings. As the single had been released prior to Band on the Run, the song was not included on the UK release of the album. The song is said to be a homage to Paul and Linda McCartney's Land Rover, which they nicknamed "Hell on Wheels".

The song peaked at #10 in America on January 12, 1974.[1]
