"'''Ultraviolet'''" / "'''The Ballad of Paul K'''" is the fourth and final single from British [[pop rock]] band [[McFly]]'s second studio album, ''[[Wonderland (McFly Album)|Wonderland]]'' (2005). It is a double A-side single and was released on 12 December 2005. The single peaked at {{abbr|No.|Number}} 9 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] (their first not to reach the top five in that country) and No. 25 on the [[Irish Singles Chart]]
==Song information==
Both tracks were written by McFly members [[Tom Fletcher]] and [[Danny Jones]], with "The Ballad of Paul K" being written also by [[Dougie Poynter]], who was the principal writer. The Ballad of Paul K was based on the members of McFly's fathers. The song is about a middle-aged man coming to terms with his life. The song "Ultraviolet" was initially called "Summer Girls".
==Music videos==
The "Ultraviolet" video was simply a montage of clips filmed at Live at McFly's [[The Wonderland Tour 2005|Wonderland Tour 2005]], [[Manchester]] and Behind the Scenes of their first Arena tour. The Ballad of Paul K video was a little different. The video uses a blend of live action and animation. It is often considered to be in the style of [[Tim Burton]] movies, especially ''[[The Nightmare Before Christmas]]'' and ''[[Corpse Bride]]''.{{citation needed|date=October 2021}} In a TV interview, McFly admitted that watching the video now does scare them slightly.
