    Verruca Salt also referenced Glass Onion as well as their own song Seether in Volcano Girls- "Well here's another clue if you please- the Seether's Louise."

    Although maybe that's just a reference and not a call-back.

    Actually RC, I'd say this could just as well have been the CALL:


    ANSWER:

    Even the lyrics and the style were similar.

    John's "USSR" is a mashup. The chorus is definitely BB, the main part is BitUSA. I posted BitUSA first, then changed it.

    It certainly is. And not for nothing did their socialist political views add some slightly anti-American spice to the lyrics.

    It got them in trouble with the political right too, but it was all in good fun.

    Sidebar: I personally think the lyrics to Imagine are the most horrifying, thoughtless, depressing, communistic-brain-washed lyrics ever written. Can't stand that song! It comes from the type of naive rambling that has no understanding of the human condition 1. humans fight 2. humans search for meaning 3. humans ethinically and culturally stick together in many ways - and he wants a controlled society where all those natural characteristics are removed? That might be his type of utopia, to me it sounds like an uncontrollable, terrifying nightmare - cultureless, raceless, featureless, godless, pacifist, meaningless, stateless people all on the one planet all as one body of people all the same..Holy Crap!!!

    You really hate this song, don't you?

    Sad you didn't kill John Lennon yourself?

    I think it is a beautifull song. Yes it describes some sort of utopia, which might be impossible to realise, due to human nature, but it is alowed to dream, I think.

    I actuall have far more problems with Rush former worshipping of Ayn Rand. I always feel a bit dirty if I admid I love Rush.

    Yeah, John Lennon was crazy for wanting to live in a world without violence and prejudice.

    When I imagine the society Lennon was talking about I imagine an ant colony. Yeah John, sounds great

    Well, that gem says a lot more about you and your black-and-white world than it does about Lennon's "Imagine."

    Luckily, you're in such a tiny minority.

    Oh, and thanks for shitting on this thread.

    He's not one of the Saints. I love most of John's music, he had an amazing legacy, I'm sure he was a fairly decent person, certainly in his later years when Yoko got him over his rampant misogyny, and I would never argue with his right to express anything he wanted to. But I think his philosophical view of the world was infantile, at best. It was like a 3rd grader saying, "Why can't everyone in the world just be nice and have ice cream?" It's a genuinely sweet thought but naive, unrealistic, and frankly a bit disingenuous coming from someone who was mentally and emotionally abusive to woman, and possibly even physically abusive to them.

    And I agree this is a complete and total thread crap and I am not going to reply further in any way on the subject.

    Uh-huh. Beware the godless pacifists. Right.

    Not to agree with PeterG or anything, but some of us like religion and property.
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
