Here in France She's A Rainbow is used by an insurance company. Watch this ad though to the end to hear the Stones :

And in fact they insure my house and car! So when I ring them up I get to hear the Stones.

Despite this, I still love the song. I can listen to it every day and it still sounds great.

I like that orchestra and piano prelude to She's A Rainbow, zipp!  I'm certain that Nicky Hopkins would have liked it too...

America, as Kev has pointed out, are Beatles fans.  The piano and harmonica instrumentals in Lonely People are very similar...

...and probably Nicky Hopkins fans too.

Okay, so now Kev put on an America album to negate that song in her head.  She'll be happy once again.

Oh! Yoko isn't such a bad song, though.  It's quite good, in fact.  That honky-tonk piano of Nicky Hopkins makes the song!  One needs to just forget the subject matter.  ;)

Yes, it is, musically. The lyrics annoy me so I added an extra verse. It’s pretty disgusting but it expresses my feelings about the subject matter quite well.

I suppose it's time to revive this thread:  Its Yoko's fault--a fun game!

I heard the 2018 remix of Oh Yoko today. It still doesn’t have my verse in it.

Unfortunately there's no cure for Crohn's Disease.  He was in a period of remission when he performed at this Spongetones concert in 1984...
