Lennon, Zappa, and the musical stylings of Yoko

[ThrillsNSpills]

Her unique vocal stylings free her from the tedious burdens of lyric memorization.
It's a rare video and if you watch it you will be grateful you avoided it this long.
It's good to see her get impersonated at the end of the song though. John looks pissed for a second.

[kwame k]

Wow....being an incredibly talented musician (John) doesn't always equate to having taste (Yoko).

[FORD]

Yoko thought everything was performance art. Her concept here was probably something like "Imagine you are a hyena, skinned and trampled under a herd of stampeding elephants".

[kwame k]

.....with a sore throat and a knife in your neck

[BITEYOASS]

Yoko must have been a great lay and John must have been high as a mofo. There can be no other explanation.

[BITEYOASS]

Is Japanese pussy really that great?

[gbranton]

OK, NO. NO pussy is THAT good, it HAD to be the drugs.

[FORD]

More than the drugs or anything else, it was actually John's "mommy issues" that attracted him to Yoko in the first place. He pretty much admits this in the Beatles song "Julia", which was supposedly written for his mother......


Half of what I say is meaningless
But I say it just to reach you,
Julia

Julia, Julia, ocean child, calls me
So I sing a song of love, Julia

The name "Yoko Ono", translated into English, means "ocean child". So John is basically admitting here that she's not only his new wife, but a substitute for his mother. Oh well (as he would say in another song) "whatever gets you through the night....."

[Cato]

Is Japanese pussy really that great?

I think Jay knows something about that.

[Terry]

The thing of it is, I really dig a lot of what John Lennon did.

It'd be fair to say Yoko was a main source of songwriting inspiration to John, but she's never had any talent to my ears. Not really a case of her being too "avant-garde" and that I just don't "get" her, either. She's just irritating. I feel tremendous sympathy for her (as pretty much any human being with a degree of empathy would) losing John in that horrible way, but I simultaneously don't care for the way she pretty much hitched a ride on John's talent train and used that as a vehicle to get herself exposure.

Whatever Lennon saw in her as an artist, I'm not seeing it.

[BITEYOASS]

I always thought those noises she was making were reenactments of the orgasm noises she made in bed with John. And we've all heard the weird noises that Japanese women make in their porn.

[BITEYOASS]

Here's one of Yoko's relatives:

[Jack68]

The stories are just endless about how little talent she had.The Chuck Berry/john lennon video when she starts her...whatever the fuck its called ,just kills me.

[FORD]

Yeah, Chuck Berry looked like he was about ready to choke a bitch......

[Jack68]

Yeah, Chuck Berry looked like he was about ready to choke a bitch......

Fucking classic...right around 1:19.I mean really..did Lennon in the privacy of his own home ever tell her.."When im performing live with one of if not my biggest idol please shut the fuck up.Your killing me."
