We All Stand Together


"We All Stand Together" is a song by Paul McCartney and the Frog Chorus.

History and charts

"We All Stand Together" is from the animated film Rupert and the Frog Song and reached number three in the UK Singles Chart in 1984.
The "Frog Chorus" backing on the song was provided by The King's Singers and the choir of St Paul's Cathedral. The 'flute playing frog' was Elena Durán. The B-side of the single contains a "Humming Version" of the song performed by McCartney and the Finchley Frogettes.
The song re-entered the UK Singles Chart one year later in 1985, one of three hits to do so that originally charted in December 1984.
In August 2017, the song was featured in a Channel 4 stop motion advert for their newly acquired series of The Great British Bake Off.

Personnel

Two shaped picture discs were issued on the 12 November 1984 and 1985, the only difference being a plain clear sleeve on the later version. The song also appears on the UK/Canada version of McCartney's 1987 compilation album, All the Best!. The song was included on the deluxe edition of McCartney's 2016 compilation album, Pure McCartney.

Choirs with Purpose version

In 2017, Choirs with Purpose, a collection of a dozen charity choirs, assembled for a remake of "We All Stand Together". Their recording features Scottish singer Michelle McManus in a bid to top the UK Singles Chart Christmas chart and win the coveted British Christmas number one for 2017. Profits from the single will be split equally between the participating choirs in aid of their own charity work.
The choirs taking part in the recording with McManus include:
