Bizarre Love.

Obviously Yoko Ono has never been short on haters but there's no denying that John Lennon was madly in love with her, no matter how bizarre their relationship may have been and how many people were against it.

In this catchy tune from his 1971 'Imagine' album, their love for each other is captured for all to hear.

Oh Yoko! holds a special place in my heart as I remember singing along to it in the backseat of Mum's ugly ass Audi station wagon on family holidays and it was also featured on one of my fave films (not too mention soundtracks) of all-time Rushmore

You Can't Be Any Geek Off The Street...

I Wanna Be With You Everywhere

I've got to thank my Mum for playing great music like Paul Simon, Marvin Gaye, Fleetwood Mac etc etc while I was growing up. I still have fond memories of car trips where we'd listen to all the classics mentioned and to this day without even knowing how, still know all the words to the entire Graceland album!
