“The Ballad Of John And Yoko” #8 7/12/1969

Even though Lennon and McCartney were barely on speaking terms, they pulled it together to record this ditty about John and Yoko’s whirlwind European honeymoon. George was on vacation and Ringo was filming a movie, so it was just the two of them, who had a finished product ready for release literally within hours. John handled lead vocals and guitars; Paul did all the other parts. Many radio stations either banned the single or bleeped the Lord’s name but it still made the Top 10.
