Im so lucky to own this remix of such an amazing final track by John on that horrible night. What could have been if he'd live? Thanks for posting this track and sharing this side of John's funky side. John you are so missed in words that I cannot express. You are needed in an age of cynicism and loss of art!!!
Sempre gostei de Yoko Ono, ela fez emergir o que havia de melhor em John Lennon,sob sua influencia, ele passou de adolescente, a homem conectado, com a realidade. Essa música é uma obra-prima. Um dia se fará justiça a ela.
This song is her counter to--or equivalent of--Lennon's "I'm Steppin' Out" which appeared on their next album together. She's warning him that he's on "thin ice" and that it will likely end bad.
Three women who should never have had a microphone placed before their mouths; Pia Zadora, Paula Abdul, and oh, yes Yoko Ono!. But hey, I liked this tune, anyway!
Listening to John's guitar riffs and knowing he put alot of effort into something he once left behind, and then just about an hour later he was shot dead just reminds me that no matter how much you get fed up fo something which you once loved, you should ALWAYS have the time to go back to that lost love, revisit it, cherish it, because you might never get that chance again.
John's contribution to this song might never have happened if Chapman shot him earlier in the day. R.I.P Lennon
You folks should realize that Miss ONO was A brilliant conceptional artist way before she ever hooked up with John YOKO ROCKS always has and always will
Soo true! She lost some credibility when she hooked up with John L. (rip). Many people believe she would be a bigger artist if she didn't. But thats love, and "walking on thin ice"...
Are you kidding me? What did yoko do to you? I am a HUGE beatles fan but I listen to Mrs. Ono because I LIKE her music, Not just because of john. (Althought I do enjoy listening to him and the other beatles.) You should really learn the saying IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY, DONT SAY IT! Look at the veiws on this video, THAT IS ALOT OF YOKO FANS RIGHT THERE IN PROOF FOR YOU!!!
"Walking on Thin Ice" is a very haunting song. This song is made even more haunting to all of us, moreso than what was originally intended. I really like your presentation of this video as well, AbejaMariposalll.
I don't care what the Yoko-bashers say.... John Lennon had these tapes in his pocket when he was shot (IMHO his assassin was a CIA-backed MKUltra mind-controlled stooge ... certain elements didn't like Lennon's popular opinions ... but that's beside the point regarding this song). Additionally, this is a cool song ... I like the lyrics about the girl who tied to cross the frozen lake ... and it was as big as the ocean ... "I wonder if she knew about it" : I find that a powerful bunch of words!
@zetetic0void Uh huh, and are you wearing a wire mesh hat because the govt is reading your thoughts? Seriously. Most of Yoko's output was her tuneless shreiking. She could have never ever done this by herself, John Lennon was the only reason anybody listened to her, usually for about 5 seconds at a time. And as for the man who killed Lennon, he was an obsessed fan, simple as that. Dude, go outside, interact with people...you've obviously been inside on the computer way too much.

Love the videoclip with the writing flashing- good effect. I just love this song. There is something quite whole about it and also unique and groundbreaking. It's stood the test of time....I am surprised it hasn't been widely interpreted - but then, could anyone top Yoko?
Yoko made him the man he was - fact! If the Beatles continued they'd have been like Coldplay, pointless.
