What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Her fourth album and the last on Apple. Maybe they figured it out. Says this is the first album where she took complete control. I don't believe it, but whatever. The album is dedicated to "the sisters who died in pain and sorrow for being unable to survive in a male society." Guess we see where this is going. I believe she and John were seperated during this period. Anything that made a like rating here, was either because of the lyrics or the music, never the singing. One exception may be that last song on the album, in which she sounds rather seductive. Uh oh, was that chauvanistic? Oh well, no more so than the song itself, in the reverse, I suppose. The album never touched the charts. Included a bonus clip here which I stumbled across. A live performance by John & Yoko on the Dick Cavett show performing Woman Is The Nigger Of The World. Check out Yoko's performance, amazing talent. This is off of the 1972 Sometime In New York City album which I do not own but wish I did.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - If Only

Best Track - Men Men Men

A one, two, three.

J.o.h.n.n.y.,
God's little gift, cream and pie.

Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, men, umm, uum,
Men, men, milk and honey,
God's little gift for woman.

I want you clever but not too clever,
I want you bad but not too bad.
I want you strong but not too strong,
I want you to try your rightful position.

Oh, too, too much, I mean, it's so good.

Men, men, snails and puppies,
Your muscles are not for fighting in war.
Your lips are not for voicing opinions,
Your eyes are there for us to look into.
I want you to take your rightful position.

Oh, too, too much, I mean, it's so good.

Men, men, grapes and nuts,
Your pants are never tight enough,
Your boots are never long enough.
Your skin is never young enough,
I want you to hold your rightful position.

Pardon me, honeycum, your hair piece's slipping.

Men, men, apples and figs,
I like you to be faithful but not very fussy,
I like you to be behind me but not just beside me.
I like you to shut up but know when to say yes,
I want you to learn your frightful position.

Pardon me, starstud, your cod piece's showing.

Now you know what you have to do-oh,
Now you know what's expected of you-hoo-hoo-hoo.
So come, come, come, come,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and hum hum,
Come up and see me sometime,
Come up and see me sometime.

-ladies and gents, I'd like to introduce you to my lower half, without whom I won't be breathing so heavily.
Honey juice, you can come out of the box now...

-yes, dear.
