YOKO ONO-"GREENFIELD MORNING (I Pushed a Baby Carriage...)"

[jackhillty1]

I always think this is the best song to introduce yoko's music to people

[AbagOfonions]

i love this..

[tandlaguilera420]

Honestly Yoko was waaayyy ahead of her time, I think that is why she is so misunderstood. I give her props for being herself no matter what all the assholes said and say about her.

[slatskatya]

nice ,and different

[portabletiger]

This whole album was genius. John and Ringo sound like they're having a blast NOT sounding like the Beatles.

[lessthan427]

I think this is the best track of her album "plastic ono band" John's guitar is cool.

[4tuneagent]

First heard some of her material, which was on the B-sides of Plastic Ono Band's singles. Looking for "Touch Me",was on the flip side of "Power to the People"...Also sort of reminds me of the Flying Lizards,a decade later..

[charliebubblesoar]

it's kinda scary, but beautiful.

[JimCimEntertainment]

A seminal Avante Garde artist of the 20th century ... and there would have been no "Imagine" without her.

[tapeduk]

the coolest song on Yoko's Plastic Ono Band Album

[Jojoseahorse]

This was always a favourite of mine too. I always wondered what "Greenfield Morning" meant - anyone? I imagined that "pushing an empty baby carriage all over the city" might have been a reference to the fact that she suffered several pregnancy losses before being blessed with Sean. She's a fantastic artist :)

[ilovekirkir]

Yoko is the queen of rock n roll!

[oliver8bit]

Heaven would be seeing John Ringo Klaus Yoko performing this live with samplers and tape loops

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

plastic ono band has reunited...

[0000song0000]

i heard this song... maybe in the real yoko ono or yoko:now and then...

but i didnt know the name

this is disturbingly cool

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

you should tell people on the DON'T WORRY KYOKO videos about this song...I would love to see there reaction.........

[keith904A]

If you like this, check out a song called "Earthbeat" by all girl punk group The Slits on YouTube. It came out in 1981 and has the same tripped out dub sound together with very Yoko vocals. I wonder if it's just a co-incidence or maybe Ms. Ono is the fairy godmother of post-punk.

I agree with the comment that the under 30s would gravitate to her music. People weaned on punk, New Wave and alternative can see how ahead of the game she was and it does not sound dated at all.

[MizzJoanneMonroe]

I like this song........wait no........I LOVE THIS SONG<333

I can't stop listening to this, it's brilliant!

[iamtheeggman100]

yea this is the first time ive listened to her stuff. sounds like the stuff they play on the college stations around here. seems like pretty influential stuff.

[MuscleJacker]

I LOVE THIS SONG! The beginning has always haunted me. Listen to it in the dark while sitting on a bench in downtown Toronto at 3 a.m. (while totally sober) and you will freak out.

[aGlowingTeapot]

MuscleJacker:

Just imagining that freaked me out. You think that someone might grab you.

I love Yoko!

[ImTheFloor]

My hero.

[sebaceous]

I was asked by an older woman why I loved Yoko and I said "because she was ahead of her time" and the woman responded "yeah, I remember that" which you have to admit is a good come back. I'm sure a lot of people were not ready for her.

[ArielDevan]

I love Yoko, she's really cool and so ahead of her time :)

[misterfabdu93]

"Greenfield Morning I Pushed An Empty Baby Carriage All Over the City" is one of my favourite song of "Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band" with "Why", "AOS" and "Touch Me". This is so great, I love Yoko, she's a genius. Thank you so much funknroll for posting this video!!!

[sebaceous]

and I'd say "Yoko Ono" and they would flip out and say "I hate it, I hate it!" that was my favorite game. I've never understood why she has been the concentrated hate object of her generation it makes no sense.

[KissTheZygon]

That's a great trick, Sebaceous. I've done the same thing, though I'm glad to say that on average, the under-30s seem more open to her and sometimes even prefer her stuff to the Beatles'.

[Biprov]

Sebaceous, I LOVE that game, I've played it myself with friends. I slipped my 'Approximately Infinite Universe' CD while my friend was in the game. The exact same pattern ensued.

[reverendflash]

I did something like that to a friend of mine once. I played him a track and asked him if he thought it was a fairly decent rock tune. Rock snob that he was, he conceded, "Sure, I guess." Then I killed his self-image by revealing the track to be 'Traffic On My Mind' by The Osmonds. (This is the same friend I once won a dollar from because he wouldn't believe me that 'Surf City' wasn't a Beach Boys recording. I miss him.)

[sebaceous]

when i was a little artist working at a cafe in san francisco I used to play Ono's music and people would come up to the counter and ask "who is this?" I'd ask "do you like it?" they would say "yes but who is it?" I would lean in and ask "Do you really like it?" and they would say "yes its really cool who is this?"

[Timmybear]

@sebaceous - that reminds me of the time I was reading some music mag that had Yoko on the cover in short shorts (which does nothing for me, but...) and some young Asian fellow across the way was admiring her picture. Once he realized who it was, the conditioning set in and he looked away with the obligatory 'ick' look (ageism probably figures in too). Sad, really...

[MuscleJacker]

Post a video for "Why", "Why Not", or "Paper Shoes" please!

[montecarlostar]

I will always say that Yoko music was so ahead of her time. This is raw material for what Pink Floyd and King Crimson would do years later. Not to mention Björk or Diamanda Galas. Yoko rules!

[funknroll]

Check out all of the videos:

-YOKO ONO-"GREENFIELD MORNING (I Pushed a Baby Carriage...)" (1970)

-YOKO ONO-"MOVE ON FAST" (1972)

-YOKO ONO-"APPROXIMA TELY INFINITE UNIVERSE" (1972)

-YOKO ONO-"WINTER FRIEND" (1974)

[haavisto]

Yoko Ono's music is more than universe can give.

And that is the whole reason why I want to live.

[donkermaanlicht]

Thank you very much for posting this!!! I love this song, have the record....

[Landrew120880]

Ringo's drums are a driving force in this song.

[dmaxlp]

Blue patches in a clouded sky/too high to catch her tears and sighs/looking over tenderly-Ono.

Thanks funknrolllllllll

[vth42]

YES. YES!

[bckm54]

This was always one of my favorite Yoko songs. THANK YOU!!! :)

[bowiefan87]

I agree!

[jeanjean1967]

GREAT!!!Thank you! I love this song. it's to good to be new-remixed. Jens, Switzerland

[Biprov]

This is proof positive that Lennon was right about Ono all along---so far ahead of her time. "Greenfield Morning" is trip-hop 20 years before trip-hop.

[lungleg]

you should upload a song from 'fly'. it's easily her best album.

[SugarComaDisappearer]

is that her singing?

[funknroll]

Yes; she worked with tonal scales and emotional sounds in the beginning. That freaked everybody out and still gets her flak. But soon afterward she explored every range of rock. Some of the other videos on my site try to show some of that range.

[onograpefruit]

So great. I'm forwarding this video to everyone...

[ricwarren]

Excellent combination of photos and music. Really nice!

[FilthyMcNastie]

What is sad and really overlooked is the truely experimental guitar work of John Lennon on the Early Yoko albums, Fly, Yoko Ono Plastic Ono band etc. Undiscovered treasure for most Beatle Fans who bought into the whole trip of hating her for "breaking up the Beatles"

John was tired of being Elvis Beatle and found new grounds to explore with Yoko.

It' too bad that people weren't more receptive to what they were doing back then.

[yokosmile]

Love this.

[pathoplastic]

genius visionary...

[ElectrikEye]

LOL!!! This is garbage

[miraclewoman24]

Pretty cool.

[neoboy42]

I really like this.
