When this video was on my former channel, people often asked me where this version came from. It's called '1981 re-edit' and available on the Strut comp 'Disco not Disco' (2000) compiled by Joey Negro and Sean P, which is a very nice CD actually. I love this song, so I used the best version of it for the video.

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!

Really nice. It is a tragic irony that this was what they were working on when he died.

@Bowieschlampe The 80's had tonnes of music like this

@rococoness To be fair she does have a Japanese accent

Yoko made him the man he was - fact! If the Beatles continued they'd have been like Coldplay, pointless.

@rococoness No one forced you here. Now go away.

This is my favorite Yoko song. No, Yoko didn't have a good voice but neither did Bob Dylan.  Great Song.

I need an instrumental version of this. x-x I can't stand Yoko's voice

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.

Stand corrected the fine Disco not Disco were compilation of previously released track. This re-edit was first out in 1985 on 12"

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.
