An iconic anti-war song credited to John Lennon’s new project, the Plastic Ono Band. It was recorded in a Montreal hotel room with Yoko (of course), Tommy Smothers on acoustic guitar and vocals, plus Timothy Leary, Petula Clark, and assorted others on backing vocals. John and Yoko were having a “bed-in” for peace and invited the press, who were hoping they would do the Wild Thing. All they did was eat, sleep, sit up, answer questions, lecture, and go back to sleep - for eight days. Paul McCartney got a writing credit here though he contributed nothing, as a thank you for helping with “The Ballad Of John And Yoko” on short notice.
