The piano riff is agonizingly juvenile.
“Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite” and “Good Morning” suck, by the way.
My alternate lyrics to another of his tunes:
War is over
CAUSE we WON IT
WE have WON it, now...
FROM NATIONAL LAMPOON's FICTIONAL LETTERS FROM THE EDITORS:
Dear Sirs:
Imagine no possessions. What a terrible, terrible thought."
--Yoko Ono, New York City
“Imagine” is his biggest hit because girls like sappy, simple, loving, caring ballads. This song is bullsh&%, but it makes girls cry. That works in the record biz.
“Color My World” by Chicago is one of thier biggest hits. Simple chords and lyrics that make girls cry while they slow dance.
My grandfather, upon arriving home after work and being informed of Lennon’s death by my grandmother:
“Hmm...One down, three to go”.
RLTW
The Beetles were and are outlandishly over rated. But who can understand popular tastes?
Imagine no Imagine!
LOL!
Oh puke.
“Color My World” was the theme of my Senior prom. An event which my steady girlfriend of two years decided to use to break up with me. Such a fun evening.
Damn that boy!
Ah...I remember growing up in the 70s and an elderly next door neighbor said the Beatles were Commies. This song (imagine no possessions) by one member makes a good point.
The morning of 12/9/80 I was in my first year of college and my dad woke me up with “C’mon get up, one of the Beatles got shot dead last night”. Huh? I had gone to bed early and I guess my Dad got the news from Howard Cosell as the Patriots and the Dolphins had been on Monday Night Football. Beatles
and Lenin, er, Lennon music all over the radio. For some reason I took the White Album poster from my vinyl copy and put it up on a door at the college radio station.
And the other Beatle we lost once wrote a song about how much $$ the band was losing to the...taxman! Hence why
some Brits moved to the US to escape him.
We can thank Lennon and The Beatles for much of the drug-addled culture of today.
IOW, given the time to think about his lyrics, the guy (who claimed his musical ensemble was more popular than the One's who's birth we celebrate this month) writes total crap? Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
I think “Woman’ is worse. Bleh!
