Imagine this tune done by the Beatles. Enjoyed this!

There have been too many Imagine parodies that put John Lennon down or piss off his fans. This, however, was appropriately respectful...and funny! 555

Agree completely.... 5s... but aren't you worried that Lennon's fans would accuse you of being anal and posting spam??
Now, how about writing one on G. Harrison and "My Sweet Lord", for which he was found to have plagiarized the melody of "He's So Fine", a 60s trivial romance rock by the Chiffons???

Nicely done, Jack. The melody wasn't great, the instrumentation wasn't great but, the message is timeless. 555

Imagine I'm givin' you real fives

Parody's fun, 555 Though doesn't the beat from this song peculiarly trace a similarity with "Look what you've done" from "Jet"?(Dunno, just thought it might've )

very funny, 5's all the way

plodding unmasked

I actually like the tune, but don't like the lyrics, so between us we hate it completely, Red - Stu (which is the "art"less version of "Stuart" - chuckle)

seriously, you make some interesting points here, Red - 555

WOW...Red - I did what you said...I imagined the organ was taken out...the drummer was more active...thru in a lead guitar riff....put some more keys on the piano(I tried to get Tori Amos to sit in but she told me to get lost)...put some inflection into the lead vocal...next thing I know I'm listening to the Rolling Stones do "Satisfaction"...(I can't remember if there is a piano part in that...probably not...I coulda said "You Can't Always Get What You Want", but I DO think there is an organ in that...lol). Not sure about a couple of those things, but I'm sure this is a "5-5-5" parody ~ ~ ~

My imagination ran wild. 5's

Red Ant you're an a**hole, but you have a great imagination!!! 5-5-5!!!

Thanks Rex, MasonR, TT, AFW, Joel, RickMeister, Alvin, Stu, Paul, Pat and Matthias.

TT: To answer your first question: no. As for "My Sweet Lord", I haven't heard TOS in ages but IIRC most of the lyrics are "My Sweet Lord (Hallelujah)"; how about this: "Stolen Chord (Plagiarism)". I guess I just wrote about half the parody right there, maybe I'll finish it one day.

Joel: No idea on that one.

Stu: Well, I don't hate it, it just needs some 'spice'. "Imagine no possessions" did raise a flag with me on two levels but since I didn't know John's intent with that line I gave him/this song a BBotD (Big Benefit of the Doubt).

Paul: Vivid imagination there (lol on the Tori Amos line) and a completely different outcome than came to my mind; I was thinking more like Axl Rose on piano and the late Layne Staley from Alice in Chains (who did an awesome cover of Lennon's "I Don't Want To Be A Soldier) doing this song. But yes, "Satisfaction" would work too.

Matthias: Yes I am, and thanks; at least I'm not anal.

Much better than the original! If only the original had been as you described. 555

Good one 5's .....and while its a good OS if I go to yet ANOTHER wedding or funeral where they play this song I'll be jumping in after the coffin (not following the bride)! ;)

Thanks Larry and LeeBee.

I was reminded of an opposite type of joke I've heard, Something like this: Q: What would Harrison Ford be without his acting ability, seasoned looks, experience, wealth and general public appeal? A: Pauly Shore!

Thanks Peter.

I thought it was a cool parody, and you poked fun at John, but in a nice way. Love your subs for the choruses. 555.

A simple OS and a good job of kind of poking fun at it. Sometimes the simple songs have the best messages. Your "imaginings" were really on point for the OS

ABC: While I do love the original song, I do agree that the music could have been a little more upbeat. Nice Job!!

(ABC) Lennon is still a sacred cow, but you roasted him gently over your low heat with hickory chips for smoke flavor. Don't see how this could be less than 555.

(ABC05I)

Jack, If this don't "Beat All". Fine flavorful roast because it was cooked up to "well done" in very good taste. Excellent!

Good

Not all around funny but still a good gentle prodding to John Lennon with his boring "Imagine" song.

(ABC) nice job of turning the song back on itself Jack - see above - we both have history with this song!

Looks like you irked a couple of Lennon fans. I thought it was good, and fun, unlike the OS.

(ABC5I) Not that familiar with the OS (outsid e of a mashup that uses the 'da-de-da-dum' bit), but I'm presuming that the pacing was great. Nice ribbing of the OS without being too nasty. 555

(ABC) The parody struck me as being a summation of the comments Lennon would receive if he posted the OS on Amiright!...Great job!!!...555!!!

It was funny--the OS is a bit boring, so I can certainly see your point of view. . .a little tame by your standards to be honest (You totally rip on some songs)

A short but effective bash. Whether or not this song deserved it doesn't matter...everything is fair game.

Your comment "Actually, December 8th, 1980 is more accurate. RIP John" did make me think...

June 25th, 2009 RIP Michael...

Yikes, some Beatles fans I know might call this Blasphemy :)
