"Zoo Gang" is an instrumental song composed by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by Paul McCartney and Wings.

It was recorded on 25 April 1973^[1] and was released on 28 June 1974 as the B-side of the "Band on the Run" single in the United Kingdom. "Zoo Gang" was the theme song to the short-lived television programme The Zoo Gang. It was made by Sir Lew Grade’s ATV, who asked Paul McCartney to write the theme. In 1993, "Zoo Gang" was included as a bonus track on the re-issue of the album Venus and Mars on compact disc as part of The Paul McCartney Collection.^[2] It was the song's first appearance on an album. It was later released on most editions of the 2010 re-release of Band on the Run.

The Zoo Gang also included incidental music by Ken Thorne, who had provided a similar score for Help! The Beatles’ second film. In the USA, ‘Band On The Run’ was issued with ‘Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five’ on the flipside. It was a bigger hit there, topping the Billboard Hot 100.

‘Zoo Gang’ was also recorded by Jungle Juice, a group of Session Musicians, who released it as a UK single on 25 May 1974.

The 2010 Special Edition of Band on the Run contained two CDs and a DVD. The first CD featured the remastered album, while the second contained bonus audio tracks: ‘Helen Wheels’, ‘Country Dreamer’ and ‘Zoo Gang’, plus six performances from the One Hand Clapping documentary.
