«Tin Man» is the title of a 1974 song by the pop-rock band America. It was written by band member Dewey Bunnell and produced by the noted record producer George Martin, who also plays the piano part on the recorded version. The song was included on the bands album Holiday, also from 1974.
Released as the first single from Holiday, «Tin Man» became the bands fourth top-ten hit in the US, spending three weeks at number four on the Billboard pop chart in November 1974. The song reached number one on the Billboard adult contemporary chart in October of that year.
The songs title and some of the lyrics reference the Tin Woodman from the works of author L. Frank Baum, including his childrens novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the subsequent 1939 film The Wizard of Oz.
Songwriter Bunnell was quoted describing the parallel: «My favorite movie, I guess. I always loved it as a kid. Very obscure lyrics. Great grammar — Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man. Its sort of a poetic license».

Band on the Run is the third studio album by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released in December 1973. It was McCartneys fifth album after leaving the Beatles in April 1970. Although sales were modest initially, its commercial performance was aided by two hit singles – «Jet» and «Band on the Run» – such that it became the top-selling studio album of 1974 in the United Kingdom and Australia, in addition to revitalising McCartneys critical standing. It remains McCartneys most successful album and the most celebrated of his post-Beatles works.
