==Recording==
"Listen to What the Man Said" was recorded in early 1975 by Wings during their New Orleans sessions for ''Venus and Mars''. It was a song which McCartney had high hopes for, but early recordings did not live up to the song's potential.〔〔 McCartney said in 1975 of his initial opinion of the song, "It was one of the songs we’d gone in with high hopes for. Whenever I would play it on the piano, people would say ‘Oh, I like that one.’ But when we did the backing track, we thought we didn't really get it together at all." After Mason added guitar overdubs, the band was still dissatisfied.〔〔 However, once Scott recorded the sax solo, the band was satisfied.〔〔 Although several takes of the solo were recorded, the very first take was the one that was used.〔〔 McCartney said of Tom Scott's impact on the track, "Someone said (jazz musician ) ‘Tom Scott lives near here.’ We said, yeah, give him a ring, see if he turns up, and he turned up within half an hour! There he was, with his sax, and he sat down in the studio playing through. The engineer was recording it. We kept all the notes he was playing casually. He came in and I said ‘I think that’s it.’ He said ‘Did you record that?’ I said yes, and we listened to it back. No one could believe it, so he went out and tried a few more, but they weren’t as good. He’d had all the feel on this early take, the first take."〔 The effect of a kiss smack heard on the track was recorded by engineer Alan O'Duffy, who taped Linda doing it.〔Luca Perasi, ''Paul McCartney: Recording Sessions (1969-2013)'', 2013, L.I.L.Y. Publishing, p.133, ISBN 978-88-909122-1-4.〕
The end of the song also features a small link used to transition into the next song on ''Venus and Mars'', "Treat Her Gently/Lonely Old People".
