"C Moon" was an early faux ska tune by the band Wings, complete with a missed-cue intro that was kept in the released version. "C Moon", B-side to the single "Hi, Hi, Hi", is meant to represent a circle, or the opposite of "L7", which was the sign for "square" or "unhip". With the ban of its A-side in the UK, "C Moon" gained top play from radio disc jockeys.
