I never thought that “Imagine” was one of Lennon’s better songs, to be perfectly honest.
On the other hand, take the lyrics for “Revolution”. I took that one as a good old fashioned slap at the Commies and it rocked.
Imagine is slow. I suppose one could slow dance to it but I doubt it would’ve rated high on American Bandstand. :)
True, bashes Mao nicely.
