What’s worse, this or “ Imagine”?

You can drop the Hare Krishna parts without messing up the rest of the song. A lot of folks listened to the song (including me at 9 years old) not even making out the back-up vocals. Imagine is wall to wall bad.

On the other hand, I remember hearing a Hare-Krishna-less version used as a recessional hymn in a Catholic Church in the '70s. It would be hard to pull that with "Imagine". The theology of the rest of the song is a combination of vapid and incorrect in terms of theology.

I recommend flipping the record and playing "Apple Scruffs" instead.

George also wrote “It Don’t Come Easy”, and Ringo’s version had a “Hare Krishna” in the middle part.
