If you find yourself agreeing with Sean Penn and Cher - you should look into donating your assets and checking in at a Facility.

Great, just what Ukraine needs right now, the Anarchists’ National Anthem.

But I particularly hate that song. I always did.

I hate it as well.

Which is why I learned several parody versions.

So when ever I get stuck hearing it and am not in a position to turn it off I just sing one of the parodies.

It sure seems like he is woke. He is singing the national anthem of wokedom.

I misread the article. I thought it was Sean singing it.

What kind of royalty rare will he be charged for this? His “father” made a point not to leave him anything. He got $50,000 that was part of the divorce decree. I’m surprised Lennon’s widow and son don’t sue him for publicly identifying hiself as Lennon’s son.

Thanks for the tip. Here’s a link.

https://babylonbee.com/news/classic-john-lennon-lyric-adjusted-to-imagine-all-the-dead-people-to-give-a-better-perspective-of-communism

So now, with the updated lyrics, we can collectively “imagine all the people, sharing all the world,” dead. And what better way to share the world than in a mass grave?

The full lyrics are reproduced below.

Imagine there’s no bread
It’s easy if you try
No tacos or hot sauce,
Nothing cold or fried,
Imagine all the people living in the gulags

Imagine there’s no money
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to eat or drink
And no bacon too
Imagine all the people living short life spans ooooh

You may say I’m a commie
But I’m not the only one
And someday you will join us
Or we’ll shoot you in the face

Imagine no possessions
Because all your stuff was redistributed
Lots of greed and hunger
But seriously please can I have a potato
Imagine all the people sharing all your stuff, yeah

You may say I’m a commie
But I’m not the only one
Did you say you don’t like that?
Then it’s the gulag for you, son

RightWingStuff had a T shirt with a Lennon look alike and it said Imagine...No Liberals.

National Lampoon’s fictional Letters From the Editors:
Dear Sirs:
Imagine no possessions? What a terrible,
terrible thought.

I remember Rush Limbaugh’s parody. Imagine No Liberals.

Yes, you are an outlier, but it’s understandable. The melody, though primitive, is quite appealing. But that’s the hook that snags the fish. The lyrics, should they stand alone as true poetry, would be considered by all to be ludicrously trite and puerile. But when modified by a pretty melody, they “sorta” sound inspiring. Again, I emphasize “sorta.”

But to each his own and good for you for being an FR outlier!

It’s the worst song in rock and roll history.

A guy named “Len-in” singing about how wonderful it would be if there were no God, no religion, no possessions, no borders and everybody believed exactly as he did. Tone deaf.
