Paul McCartney (in 1988) - "I can't remember much about that one. Certain songs were just 'work' songs, you haven't got much memory of them. That's one of them."
John Lennon (in 1980) - "That was Paul's. Maybe I stuck some bits in there... I really don't remember. It was a pretty poor song and I was never really interested in it either way."
Paul McCartney (in 1994) - "'Hold Me Tight' was a failed attempt at a single which then became acceptable album filler."
