“Sugar Sugar”
Bastard! Now that’s stuck in my head!
No. You’re thinking of “Honey” by Bobby Goldsboro.
Obama’s foreign policy mantra
Yes it is based on lyrics. How about the canabalistic. “Timothy”. Yummmmm
Waterloo was another one I remember. Mandy. It was pretty awful.
No, but it’s close.

Don’t care. Post at will. Go ruin someone else’s fun.
From the first time I heard it, I thought it was absolute trash. It has no redeeming qualities at all. I feel sorry for the clown if that is the way his mind worked.
It's such an incredibly naive way to look at things. There will always be things to kill or die for, because there will always be bad guys.
But of course all of these “Peace and Love” types who protested the Vietnam War, had no problem with the Viet Cong going around and slaughtering entire villages.

A Southern Man don’t need you around anyhow.
As has often been pointed out, Lennon was not sufficiently moved by his own lyrics to share his wealth with the world, as he called upon the rich of the world to do in the song.
If the BLM types ever gained power, it would look a lot like the Pol Pot regime.
He was worth $800,000,000 at his demise. Left all to Yoko Ono. He knew hard scrabble living in Liverpool in his early years. The old adage rings in my years. Something to the effect of leaving the act of philanthropy to others.
Written by the same guy who wrote "The Pina Colada Song".
Exactly.
