Yoko Ono: "Potbelly Rocker" (1973)

A great song by Yoko Ono with the Plastic Ono Super Band from the sessions of her fourth solo album "Feeling The Space" in 1973 and from the Onobox in 1992.

"Onobox" is a 1992 comprehensive 6-disc collection of Yoko Ono's work from 1968 to 1985. The discs are grouped by era and theme. Disc six is the previously unreleased 1974 album A Story, which was later reissued separately along with the rest of Ono's back catalogue. There was also an accompanying concise one-disc "greatest hits" release, entitled Walking On Thin Ice. The Rykodisc press release for Onobox declared the collection "not as bad as you might think".

Potbelly Rocker (by Ono):

Potbelly rocker holding his joker
But dont know how to lay a poker.
He carries a guitar, holds on to his bars,
Trying to get his head for the future rock.

Potdizzy rocker gets a rockstockbroker
Who claims hes only a fumble harmer.
With his potfull of stars and handful of cars,
Trying to make his bread from the future stock.

Rocksuck doo-doo,
With a big fat choo-choo,
Don't be a coo-coo.
Gotta get ready for the future shock.

Pothappy rocker, a true blue lover.
His life is full of painful corners.
He blows his horn to the world of thorns,
Trying to make his bed for the future shock,

Potluck lulu
With a hot belly doo-doo,
Don't be a boo-boo.
Gotta get em ready for the future shock.

Interesting Ono choice, misterfab. As a huge Ono fan, I rarely listen to this track. I guess I cant relate or something. Thank you again for the excellent photos. You still reign supreme in the Ono fanworld.

Don't like Yoko Ono, but this is actually not too bad. It sounds quite ahead of its time.

[showandtell41]

They had alot of LSD back in those days.

Fumble Harmer - a very Lennonesque pun
