John Lennon - Genius is Pain

[jkjkjij22]

naational lampoon no?...

[batgurrl]

thanks for posting this hysterical song - yep, Tony Hendra

singing - best known as Ian Faith manager of This is spinal tap in the movie

[MarieNC2]

OMG, this is hilarious!

[snaedwiev]

I'm sorry, but it just doesn't get any better than this.

dgmw, I LOVE THE Beatles and respect and treasure all that they did as The Beatles, BUT THIS IS TOO "FN" OFF THE"FN" HOOK!!!

ROFLMFAFO (once again)

I've tried to describe this to people over the years, but there is nothing like the "real" thing.

Lampoon Was Incredible back then - and this was only one example.

I can state categorically that no one reads prior comments before posting their own inane, idiotic, and repititive drivel that they seem to think qualifies as an intelligent ripost'. Again, to all you genius's, much pain and fuck-yoo-hoo-oo

[penrod59]

It's not Lennon, it's Tony hendra, who...oh. Never mind.

[ladyarchivist]

actually there was not a connexion between SNL and Nat Lampoon

[ladyarchivist]

yes, as people have been pointing out since I posted 9 months ago. Fuck-yoo-oo-oo!

[yeanderwolf]

the lyrics are all genuine lennon quotes strung together

the tune was written by melissa manchester it stems from early saturday night live and the national lampoon crew

great stuff nonetheless

[yeanderwolf]

It isn't lennon though

It's melissa manchester and the saturday night live crew

[EyMeng]

I got a better version now

[schnuurtchke]

amazing song!!!!

[mark3ve]

Read ALL of the comments before you deem it necessary to post "not Lennon." That's been long since acknowledged, "geniuses."

[ladyarchivist]

I think I love you.

[ladyarchivist]

hey, mark, you see the continued comments. What is wrong with people?

P.S., I still love you.................

[mark3ve]

This is Tony Hendra, the guy who also played Ian Faith in "This Is Spinal Tap."

Oh, and it's a hilarious take on some of that pretentious old bullsh*t.

[ladyarchivist]

Thankyou sincerely. I wish I had a better copy. I knew Tony Hendra was the mastermind behind NL, but was unaware he actually did the vocal. I have always found that Genius is, indeed, pain! (So is loading a bong when you're already stoned...)

[ladyarchivist]

Hey, like the man said, 'I am grateful for flashbacks, otherwise I wouldn't remember the 70's at all ;-}

[thegreatmalenko123]

did you record this on a toaster???

[ladyarchivist]

yes, thankyou for noticing. And the toast burned......anyone who can upload a better copy: Please tell me where it is and I will delete this video.

[ladyarchivist]

and I have thought more on this comment, and I should have just quoted the song.  Fuck Yoo-hoo-hoo ;-}

[bellphorion]

[ladyarchivist]

Duh...

[bellphorion]

[ladyarchivist]
