It's true love when you're willing to sacrifice a perfect hit single by putting your widely reviled wife's name right in the title and chorus.  It's one of Lennon's few solo songs that deserved a #1.




(Youtube no longer has the acetate version which has Lennon's voice at natural speed.)

It's exactly that which kept me at arms length from the song for so long (I like Yoko, but felt weird having the song address her personally). But it is also this which makes it feel like one of the purest examples of a love song in pop history.

I have to admit, I've always loved it.  But it does sneak up on you.  At first it does seem like just a silly throwaway love ditty.  It's not a complicated song, the arrangement isn't too interesting, but it has a refreshing feel (maybe that jangly piano).  But by the end of it, that final sustained "on!" right befpre the harmonica is pure gold, and (my Dylan expertise may throw you here) I'm not someone who always really cares for the tone of a harmonica, but here it's just like breezy cool water waves.  It's a wonderful summer song.

"How Do You Sleep?" must have stung, but I bet "Oh Yoko" hurt Paul the most.

Just got the new The Smile, the Radiohead sideproject of Yorke and Greenwood.

I'm not sure why they didn't put it out as a new Radiohead album.  It isn't drastically unlike Radiohead, not as dissimilar as Kid A at the time.  And it isn't as samey as all of the electro-rut of the albums in the shadow of that one either.  And it's also superior to some of the other side projects - Yorke's solo stuff, Atoms For Peace, etc.
