"Temporary Secretary" is a song by the English musician Paul McCartney, released on 19 September 1980 as the third single from his third solo studio album McCartney II (1980). Dominated by a dissonant sequenced synthesiser line, NME later described the song as "wonky electropop that didn't sound so much ahead of its time as out of it altogether." While initially met with highly negative critical reception, it has since become a cult classic and favorite among McCartney fans.
