The action takes place at a lavish mansion, where rivals Ricky Moonstruck and Brock Donahue fight over a romantic interest. The butler, Chamberlain, interrupts the action with a crossbow, and the story detours when McCartney\u2019s Aunt Marge shows up, drunk and stumbling around the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In a statement about the visual, McCartney emphasized that he \u201cwanted to do something unexpected and off-topic from the lyrics,\u201d adding, \u201cThis video seemed like a good opportunity to stretch my comedy legs and show some personality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tropical-tinged \u201cWasted\u201d was one of two McCartney singles from 2018, along with \u201cBetter With You,\u201d marking his first new material since his fourth LP, 2014\u2019s <em>In Technicolor<\/em>.
