  • The chord progression is the same as Mother. I heard this back in mid 80's just after I started to pick up Plastic Ono Band and so on, and heard the interviews with Lennon when he really wasn't a very nice guy to be around. I love John, but I cannot say this parody is undeserved. Very funny.

  • You had to live in those times to understand this. This is one of the more more brilliant works from the NatLamp crew! It also captures Lennon's song inflections brilliantly: "Pardon me sirrrrrrr-eeerrrrr-UH!" ROFLMAO!

    PERFECT!

  • @juliekstroup This line is about the silly controversy that Paul was dead

  • Paul lives in Iceland!

  • Like it or not, these statements come from an interview John Lennon did with Rolling Stone in 1971. He was very angry and disillusioned at the time and decided to spew a lot of venom in the press. It was more or less a public temper tantrum. I'm a Beatles/Lennon fan, and this song is a dead-on spoof of the man and his music. I think if Lennon were alive today, he'd want to take back a lot of those statements. But maybe he just needed to vent. It's understandable, if not totally excusable.

  • Those that don't see the amazing humor in this, prove that "Genius IS pain"

  • THANK YOU, mongo!

  • @DaCoach68 It's Eddie Vedder, from the Seattle grungerock band "Pearl Jam". No doubt

  • @DaCoach68 Sam Kinison?

  • At the end of the vid, as John is screaming "genius is pain"...there are two pictures. One is Einstein, and the other is...? who? Looks like a singer, but I can't place him. ANYONE? Help!

  • EXCELLENT!!!!!!
