John Lennon - Instant Karma!

[OctavioSWTOR]

Just call me the rollllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eerr

[sauquoit13456]

On this date in 1970 {Feb. 28th} "Instant Karma (We All Shine On)" entered Billboard's Top 100 chart; eventually it would peaked at #3 and spent 13 weeks in the Top 100...

Ranked 34th on Billboard's Year-End Hot 100 Singles of 1970 chart...

Reached #2 on the Canadian Singles chart, #5 on the U.K. Singles chart, and #1 in France

Was John Lennon's first Top 10 record as a solo artist...

Producer was Phil Spector; and was in stores for sale just ten days after it was recorded...

[TheMONKEYSHINEZ]

This song made up my mind definitively as to who was is and will always be the greatest songwriter : this man right here~johnny boy....rip

[Shiryutherain]

Thumbs up if you like music

[FaiyazKolia]

Like if Chanel brought you here.

[Rohanthefirst]

"instant karma is gonna get you".. very freaky line

[residualbill]

On this day (Feb 20) in 1970, this single was released in the U.S.

42 years

[sevencoolable]

@residualbill well so some magic bring me here today to listen again after long time to this song!

[Aphibaa]

@eric5906 Instant Karma's gonna get Ron Paul

[TpokeCmonG]

Does anyone see the dislike bar? O wait the like bar ate the dislike bar. =)

[festivedeatheaters]

@eric please keep politics out of Johns Presence

[ChristopherMartin123]

i like all music de john lennon

[eric5906]

Ron Paul shines on.

Vote Ron Paul 2012.

[TheImpromptuChef]

@eric5906 Take your nonsense politics and get them out of here.

[eric5906]

@TheImpromptuChef LOL. Just remember to vote in your primary and do what Lennon would've wanted, VOTE Ron Paul 2012.

[JoeBannanas123]

@eric5906 we don't want politics here. get the fuck out.

[eric5906]

@JoeBannanas123 Don't be so angry, friend.

[funcooldrew2]

lennon is my god he is god only god

[kneapoe51]

WE ALL SHINE ON.........

[cookiecrumb1991]

:D



[cookiecrumb1991]

I love you, John. <3 We need more people like you.

[SABROX97]

@cookiecrumb1991 Thats the best statement I read all month

[peaceloverocknrollx]

Lennon's God

[Thisschicckk]

John Lennon just makes me happy. Period.

[NEFirebirds]

John Lennon would zero impact on the modern generation. He was trying to save Darfur 40 years ago......situation unchanged. He had no impact.

[callybongo9]

@NEFirebirds he had no impact .. are you wrong in the head , he changed millions of peoples live for the better and much more so just leave it ok

[DutchessNightshade]

Ich liebe John Lennon <3

[Sketch999999]

Instant Karma got 15 people and knocked them right on the head.

[jimmyjoegarcia]

this should be a theam song for americas economic collapes thats gonna happen

[5drumb]

@jimmyjoegarcia The lyrics to his 'Working Class Hero' would work even better...

[badtrap]

When all is said and done, if the sum of my existence is to help bring happiness and light to future generations, and to shine on, then I am happy.

[johnlennon129]

John Lennon forever in are hearts

[zeldabeatle9]

this song changed my life

[MissBeatles66]

LOVE HIS VOICE!!! we miss you John!

[RimboBobo]

"Pretty soon you're gonna be dead" Speak for yourself, John.

[deniseemelierose]

@RimboBobo Dude, not cool.

[RimboBobo]

@deniseemelierose Everyone dies. Get over it.

[DowntownMusicCentral]

@RimboBobo instant karmas gonna get you

[BA5966]

@RimboBobo LOL Yup, and Lennon left a legacy of historical music. When you die, you leave behind a stupid cynical comment on youtube. Who's the big winner?

[BA5966]

@BA5966 Historic, not historical....

[RimboBobo]

@BA5966 Depends what you want from life. Why is everyone so hypersensitive on Youtube?

[plaidcarogemm]

@RimboBobo He also said something about hoping to not die for a while on the day he was murdered. Such irony....

[stalkmeimfam0us]

@TyroneJefferson4 haha I wondered what language that was :P

[MAHTutorials]

"Time wounds all heels"

[bootybreezey201439]

<3

[brianababe100]

John will certainly shine on!

[Julesnshane]

i never knew what i wanted to do when i grew up until i ran into John's music. Now i know. I want to carry on his message. Pick up where he left off. Give peace a chance. I think we all should do that.

[subrown3]

@Julesnshane I agree in total..nice idea..where r u from?

[Julesnshane]

@subrown3 thanks. Im from good 'ol Oregon, USA.

[MsCrazyVivi]

das erinnert einen an das TH cover..es war sehr schön.. wie das orginal :) <3

[TheTettle]

I love the drums in this song!

[MrChobbaWonga08]

rest in peace John Lennon, there's not a day goes by that i don't remember your tragic death, i just hope one day i will meet you in heaven, until then though rest in peace.

[SaidSheThatsWhat]

@MrChobbaWonga08 John Lennon didnt believe in God the way you probably do so....you may be seeing him after you die just not in heaven...sorry its the truth.

[MrChobbaWonga08]

@SaidSheThatsWhat I don't really believe in God either, it's just nice to think there's a place to go when life ends, also don't worry about it, I just meant to say how I wish he was still alive.

[debfult85]

Miss HIM, and HIS message of TRUTH

[1962drob]

31 years ago today, John Lennon was taken from us :( 31 years later, it's still sad :(

R.I.P. JOHN. YOUR MUSIC LIVES ON!!!!!

[AlexMydopilafo]

31 years ago today !

[psu68born]

happy anniversary in heaven john

[bluematter]

Soo Sad Soo Happy...A Revelation.....They kill us and we grow back! Nothing stops peace :)

[chich094]

Fuck Tokio Hotel

[Vogliomafia2]

Just i love you, Johnny :)

[dewatif]

love this tune every night i would tell my son that he shines brighter than the sun and the moon and the stars all put together shine on

[bponce777]

i hate shouta in wii boxing

[myfajahas400children]

I wonder what happens if i submit this to Reddit.

[marbleheadband]

drummer was Alan White (Yes)......bass was Klaus Voorman & john piano/vocal.....have to agree with eman9416 below ...but it's gonna take more than one dead lennon to change this world (you think that would have been enough) but nooooooo............

[brujis08]

This is a way underrated song. Drums are superb!

[christina1276]

good song......

[Diskobanger]

JUST CALL ME THE ROLLEEEEEEEEEEEEER

[omacias4]

@Diskobanger was thinking the same thing....

[evelindi]

Does anyone else find it supremely ironic that Chase Bank used this song in their commercials? I mean really!

[marbleheadband]

@evelindi , in an interview with Yoko Ono, she said she licensed Chase Bank use of the song for $800,000....then donated the proceeds to united negro college fund......(as per beatle song facts.com)

[evelindi]

@marbleheadband thanks for the word on that. Somebody in Chase's marketing dept is supremely stupid then. All you have to do is listen to the words . . . sheesh. I for one hope Instant Karma is in effect for the banksters.

[eman9416]

@OllieRetroSounds I'm sure he cares about that too, how about we all quit fighting and get along, until that happens i think John would say his work isn't done.

[BeckyBeatle]

Heck YEAH :D

[DK42700]

The Drummer is fucking good !

One M0:00RE time!

[terka138]

♥ Forever young

[chilibro]

i hate the drum fills in this they sound stupid

[PedersW]

@chilibro They're impressive fills, but I would agree that they aren't very fitting for the song.

[TheFatherOfFire]

@chilibro It's not the drums in the song that are stupid, it is u!

[DrRockso89]

imagine if Lennon was still alive and the impact he would have on the modern generation

[beatleep]

@DrRockso89 haha.... 'imagine'

[gilraen789]

Shine on, John. You're never forgotten.

[garyw930]

May I recommend the book 'An Essential Guide To Music In The 1970s' by Johnny Zero. The author is a big fan of this track.

[VEGASVICR]

Happy 71's Birthday John ( / J \ )

[lauracai8a]

Happy birthday to the best aritst of all time!! RIP

[benhallbenhall87]

The world really needs another John Lennon, he's a real hero

[Amiles666]

watch?v=dpMILYByWjQ a new edited version of this song, please view and give opinions, it's my first edit.

[Samlihu]

ATTENTION ALL JOHN LENNON FANS

On October 9th we will all watch "Imagine" in honor of the greatest singer ever's birthday. Let's give him the best birthday present ever: the highest viewed video on YouTube!! Let's give him what he deserves and what Justin Bieber does not deserve to have!

Copy and paste to all John lennon/beatles videos and all music videos let's get this noticed quickly!

THUMBS THIS UP

LET'S GET THIS NOTICED

Lets help John lennon

[theraputiclistener]

@Samlihu Maybe for a birthday present, we should all stop killing each other, not just some computer thing

[thewriter1008]

@Samlihu Dude, nobody cares about Justin Bieber except the most devoted fans and his haters.

[OllieRetroSound]

@Samlihu I doubt John Lennon would really care whether he had the most viewed video on an online video sharing site he was never able to have heard of. Perhaps look at the things that really matter when conducting popularity contests and look at the sales of himself as a solo musician and with the Beatles, it far outnumbers a 17 year old Canadian called Justin. Just think.

[cinebros]

@Samlihu john lennon's good but bieber friggin rules!!

[DoctorTimmyTiddles]

@Samlihu Help him how?? The poor guy's been dead 31yrs. If you wanted to help, you should've been at the Dakota Building in 1980.

THUMBS THIS DOWN

LET'S GET THIS NOTICED

[hoothering]

@Samlihu I do not understand why you think YouTube views are important to John Lennon. Those numbers aren't a measure of who's the best and who's the worst.

[fenderkid6]

@Samlihu I hope you realise that efforts like this always fail. Just be content to listen to the music. Besides, he's dead. It's a nice gesture and all, but he can hardly appreciate it.

[vhalhex483]

es buena pero prefiero la version de Tokio Hotel :)

[CassandraRosengard]

@gmp1381 He is always present with us!

[solja19k]

@ Albourdda - Who said John Lennon was ever innocent? ;D

[tigercaill]

il y a un truc qu'on oublient c'est que c'est la video qu'on vote pas la chanson :)

[SamsonOff7]

fuck, I wish I could have written this song. It's so great.

[TheFatherOfFire]

@SamsonOff7 Jealous Guy.

[tigercaill]

WELL WE ALL SHINE ON !!!!!!!!!!

[Ieatyobabypandas]

I usuually listen to modern day rock and my friend told me to listen to this song, I am now listening to Classic Rock and John Lennon<3

[Daxter305]

i dont think i could be friends with someone who doesnt like John Lennon

[goldielocks591]

i totally beleive in \\\\\\karma...just wait and c!

[skeptyky]

le karma est un instant de bonheur vrai ,ou l'on est transporté au ciel ,lennon est inoubliable ,son esprit nous accompagne tous les jours ,on vit avec lui ,en nous ,respect john ,vive the fabfours!! rebel 68

[MultiMaryto]

El kArmA tARde que tempraNo Llega a cobrarselas jeje

[kpsars]

the dream is over :(

[AWESOMEsocks123]

John said to Julian, when I die I will come back as a white bird. A few years later Julian was given a white feather and during the photo shoot of Free as a bird a white bird was walking around the 3 remaining Beatles (1995) getting in the way of the photos and Paul said ''Hey it's John''.

[TheFestivelights]

@AWESOMEsocks123 this is how religions start - stop it.

[37vincentvega]

15 persones said "i don't like it". It's very strange sometimes people....this is John Lennon....pump up the volume and listen the music...

[kpsars]

@37vincentvega instant karma's gonna get them!!

[OneEyedKeys]

If you're still thinking about John Lennon after listening to this song, and not yourself...You've missed the whole point. "Who on Earth do you think you are?"... Are you going to BE a superstar, or worship a superstar?

[dasboot19801]

@OneEyedKeys You nailed it pal.

[BLAGASPANTS]

Lennon. Enough said. 

[MrMatthewUnger]

@BLAGASPANTS Exactly. lol

[sascuatchbass]

Hell yeah!

[MrFreeOliveira]

Surfando karmas e DNA is gonna get youuu ! x)

[Nineball9100]

instant karma is goimg to get the people that don't tell the truth like about the gig i did with John in ann arbor '

[jackslater230011]

@JacobL616 Wrong album cover. Instant Karma was released in 1975 on the album Shaved Fish. Save Darfur has absolutely nothing to do with John Lennon. The songs on that cd are his, but they're sung by other people.

[RedGrendel]

15 people now have bad karma

[malaikanini]

Beady Eye The roller ?

[mugwamp4]

@malaikanini just heard The Roller and yeah it did sound similar ,,though vastly inferior..

[1990SuperGeek]

Here's Johnny!

[allisonsalazar]

SAVE DARFUR

[denzfluix]

ALL THE WORLD MISS YOU JHON ... GREETINGS FROM MEXICO AND FROM A HUMILDE INDIO MEXICANO :) ! YOU ARE THE FUCKING BEST

[hellogoodbye753]

God, this is such good music. I miss you John.

[johnny2sambora]

John Lennon= LEGEND

[JulieLovesTheBeatles]

This is so much better than the Tokio Hotel-version.

(I really had to write that now).

[1985OldSkool]

I have to believe that this song was the first major solo hit by any member of the Beatles, predating George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord" by about nine months.

[spitoncat]

I was curious about the comments about Tokio Hotel. I listened to two versions, live and studio. I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't as good as the comments claimed. The live version had an expensive smoke and flames presentation but I couldn't get to the end of either video. Different tastes in music I guess.

[hardrocker38]

john lennon i love you!!!!!!!!! <3

[SunnyLovetts]

This is what music should be. 

[erculesgomez]

i 14 a cui non piace????? sono matti...o non capiscono un cazzo di musica...

[mb339a]

@erculesgomez forse sono fan dei tokio hotel che hanno fatto la cover.... bleargh!

[novaeffect368]

WTF!!!

[michaeldavidarp]

true

[michaeldavidarp]

He was a working class hero

[solja19k]

When John Lennon died... that was the True End of the Innocence....

[regnevel]

@solja19k John Lennon was the most innocent guy himself, so I don't know if thais comment makes much sense

[regnevel]

@solja19k John Lennon wasn't the most innocent guy himself, so I don't know if thais comment makes much sense

[nazi8per]

@regnevel Yeah, John Lennon sang about how he was jealous, used drugs... He was human, like the rest of us.

[albuorkka]

@solja19k I don't think Lennon was that innocent though :c

[CI5AgentSweeps]

Had Lennon still been alive today he still would be creating sensational music like this, what a great guy he was :)
