I watched exactly 1 minute of this and now I want to scratch my eyes out with dinner forks.

he hasn’t been fired from the Late Night position, yet?
Jimmy Fallon’s career is a good indication that the general population of the US is getting….less sharp, to put it mildly.

# 3 FRAGaLOT said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:14 pm

it actually wasn’t THAT bad.. i mean if you can put up with Bjork; Yoko isn’t hard to listen too. Plus she had a nice set of cleavage to look at while you had it on mute. The later half of the song was okay.

# 4 itate said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:15 pm

Oh. My. God.

# 5 FRAGaLOT said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:16 pm

hopefully this won’t end up as DLC for rock band or guitar Hero.

# 6 sobriquet said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:20 pm

One has to wonder if she has any concern for her late husband’s legacy.

# 7 hhopper said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:20 pm

Sweet Mother of God…

I think my dogs deaf, can I sue DU?

# 9 Blind and Deaf said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:29 pm

What the hell did John see in her?

# 10 powerbookdude said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:31 pm

John, it’s the best video post you’ve ever put up!!! My jaw was open the entire time. thank you

# 11 canucklehead said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:33 pm

a rip off of Marianne Faithfull

# 12 dcphill said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:35 pm

I’d rather listen to fingernails screeching
across a slate black board!!

# 13 Mark T. said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:39 pm

Whoa, Jimmy Fallon must be pretty hard up for guests.

# 14 JeffL said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:44 pm

Especially freakish when you consider she is 76 years old.

# 15 qb said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:47 pm

My deaf dog is now blind.

# 16 sobriquet said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:50 pm

#10 I agree. Definitely one of the best. The fact that John’s comment was ‘Presented without comment’ had me rolling!

# 17 McCullough said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:50 pm

If only Chapman would’ve aimed a little more to the right……

# 18 Randomized said, on November 10th, 2009 at 4:54 pm

I would rather dress up like a seal and run around hungry polar bears and then douse myself in gasoline and jump into a lake of fire before watching this video again.

# 19 LaMoora said, on November 10th, 2009 at 5:01 pm

Baby boomers, you get what you deserve.

# 20 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, on November 10th, 2009 at 5:02 pm

23 seconds.

That’s shit.

# 21 PMitchell said, on November 10th, 2009 at 5:18 pm

wow a solution to the world energy crisis simply hook up a generator to the rapidly spinning corpse of John Lennon and our energy problems are solved

# 22 SparkyOne said, on November 10th, 2009 at 5:27 pm

And the clown with the thirteen brass buttons on his weak ass chest can kiss my ass.

Never got to music.

# 23 Somebody_Else said, on November 10th, 2009 at 5:30 pm

That’s not Yoko, its Kim Jong-il and his latest weapon of mass destruction.

# 24 Raff said, on November 10th, 2009 at 5:48 pm

Wow! I don’t think I lasted much more than a minute.

That was….

# 25 Uncle Dave said, on November 10th, 2009 at 5:50 pm

#10 & 16: John didn’t post this.

# 26 Bob said, on November 10th, 2009 at 5:52 pm

I don’t understand why it was tagged as strange…. unless it was that she seems to have three adams apples

# 27 Austere Powers said, on November 10th, 2009 at 5:54 pm

This sort of thing ain’t my bag, baby. I’ve got to see if my bits and pieces are still working.

# 28 listener said, on November 10th, 2009 at 6:09 pm

What a bunch of knuckle-draggers. This actually rocked. I’d like to see any of you doing ANYTHING besides crapping your pants when you’re 76. Yoko has stood her ground, and stayed true to her art. She KILLED at the Pitchfork Festival in Chicago a few years ago, winning over a crowd of 10,000. Real music fans get it. Now go ask your moms for a sandwich.

# 29 Mooking said, on November 10th, 2009 at 6:16 pm

SHIT!!!

# 30 Jägermeister said, on November 10th, 2009 at 6:19 pm

She’s a poster child for euthanasia.

# 31 Sister Mary Hand Grenade of Quiet Reflection said, on November 10th, 2009 at 6:20 pm

#1 – How the fuck did you last one minute? UFB!

# 32 Mr Diesel said, on November 10th, 2009 at 6:28 pm

At 76 she looks like she needs a bat in her upper deck.

As for the noise that’s what the mute button is for.

# 33 Red said, on November 10th, 2009 at 6:59 pm

That wasn’t good.

# 34 Blakjak.au said, on November 10th, 2009 at 7:15 pm

Wow… The instrumental work is actually quite funky… otherwise should be titled “Crazy Asian Lady Screams”

# 35 ChuckM said, on November 10th, 2009 at 7:40 pm

I agree, if it was Bjork, people would be saying it was genius…

As much as I think Yoko is extreme/shock artist, the music was great and she actually did pretty damned good.

She’s very ground breaking… and this pushes it further in the same direction from the ’70s.

Oh Yoko! My love will turn, you on…

# 36 lemonademaker said, on November 10th, 2009 at 7:43 pm

I could take about 10 seconds of that… if you look past everything she looks to have nice cans!!

# 37 Two to the Head said, on November 10th, 2009 at 7:57 pm

That Rocked!

What a bunch of old geezers here on DU.

“Hey you rocking 76 year old widow! Get off my lawn!”

# 38 Hugh Ripper said, on November 10th, 2009 at 7:59 pm

I thought it was a bit B52ish. The mwahahahaha’s wore pretty thin mighty fast. Still, pretty good for a granny.

# 39 JimD said, on November 10th, 2009 at 8:49 pm

The Oh No ! Band ???

# 40 Ezra4no1 said, on November 10th, 2009 at 9:00 pm

Oh my gosh.. After all of these years, she still hasn’t a clue. Tone death and brain fried with a bunch of yelling, screaming, and no lyrics.. and there ya go.. Yoko Ono.

# 41 raster said, on November 10th, 2009 at 9:02 pm

Wow, I can see what John loved about her!

I wonder what it would look like if she went insane!

# 42 Seth said, on November 10th, 2009 at 9:15 pm

#38 the b52’s got that from her and I love Yoko. Listen to Season of Glass and know real talent. Her entire catalogue is better than most of the trash being put out today,

# 43 deowll said, on November 10th, 2009 at 9:30 pm

I think I’d just as soon listen to people call hogs or turkeys.

If you like it that’s fine with me just as long as I don’t have to listen.

# 44 m.c. in l.v. said, on November 10th, 2009 at 9:57 pm

Talentless, ugly old hag hit the lottery when an obviously drugged out of his mind Lennon took a shine to her. Screaming and shrieking is not music. When is she going to fucking die already?

# 45 Steve said, on November 10th, 2009 at 10:34 pm

I see Yoko waiting for the “D” train all the time.

# 46 Alex said, on November 10th, 2009 at 10:57 pm

SON-OF-A-BITCH……

Tell her to put down that CRACKPIPE!!!

She may be waiting for the D-Train,

but I don’t think she has made it off the CRACK-TRAIN.

Forget AUTOTUNE… now there’s YOKOTUNE!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

# 47 LDA said, on November 10th, 2009 at 11:23 pm

I think it was very interesting. I have heard about Yoko’s performances but never seen one. The world is better with variety and Yoko is definitely unique. I also enjoyed Sean’s guitar playing. I once saw him on a little stage at a festival in Australia and he was very good.

# 48 Troublemaker said, on November 10th, 2009 at 11:27 pm

Perhaps this is the music industry’s way of punishing file sharers.

# 49 Final Approach said, on November 10th, 2009 at 11:40 pm

Wow. I think I had rather poke hot needles through my eyes than listen to the second half of that video. Epic fail for Ono and Fallon. NBC executives are idiots and they’re obviously smoking crack.

# 50 Mr. Fusion said, on November 10th, 2009 at 11:45 pm

I just gained a whole new appreciation for the “just” bad.

Only her personal wealth could promote something like that. BUT, the worse part is that are actually people that liked it !!!

# 51 Alex said, on November 11th, 2009 at 12:38 am

I like Fallon, but he just can’t carry a show. I have never checked the ratings, can someone tell me how his “show” is doing?

I will say this. I would rather that psycho be waiting for “D-Train”, than out on the road driving a car! WHOLLY SH!TIIII It would be like like the wreck in Pelham 1-2-3. Could you see her tooling down 7th ave… OMG!!!

I already downloaded that clip and trimmed it down and MMS’d it to my friends. I don’t think that they can sleep now!!! TE-HE-HE!

I cannot agree with you at all.

That was a totally unstructured mess. None of it fit whatsoever. Even if you allow for a freestyle jam of the totally bizarre (Zappa) or structurally bizarre (Residents), this is nothing of either sort in talent or quality.

It had all the quality of a drunk person at a karaoke bar who forgot the lyrics to a song.

She did it passionately I will give her that. But that is all she had. Akin to watching Imelda Marcos on a binge. And just as over-dramatic.

# 53 pedro said, on November 11th, 2009 at 2:13 am

Well, it’s the century of the untalented.
This only shows what a great influence Ono was to Lennon… NOT!

#2 You’re too kind. Hope not PC but kind. And then people wonder why the US is in such mess.

#3 What? The only thing nicer than Ono’s rack is a photo of a nuclear wasteland.

#9 It shows that John was just your run of the mill pussy whipped.

#21 FTW

#28 sounds like a typical macfan

# 54 TTHor said, on November 11th, 2009 at 3:28 am

She was a joke, and still is a joke…

# 55 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, on November 11th, 2009 at 5:00 am

#28 Listener:
Real music fans get it

Real music fans have better discrimination. If this was 14 year olds it makes sense. Maybe 30 years ago it’s interesting as-is. But it’s 2009 and adults–old ones no less–which makes it shit. OK, so if you’re younger than dirt I’ll give you a break. But for anyone who actually bought a Beatles album when it was new this is old and tired.

Bjork has rhythm, tone, and has a clue about musical notes. Yoko has none of that, which is probably why Lennon married her.

# 56 Dannythedog said, on November 11th, 2009 at 5:06 am

This is exactly, as I remember Yoko, 25 years ago. It sucked then, it sucks now.

# 57 pedro said, on November 11th, 2009 at 6:15 am

What I find tasteless is the Beatles vibe Ono is trying to put to the plastic band.

Sean looking and acting like his Dad it’s a given, you cannot avoid that part. But the bass player using a bass like the one McCartney uses? Plain desperate.

# 58 Savantish said, on November 11th, 2009 at 6:22 am

Yet another reason to hate Yoko.

# 59 John C Dvorak said, on November 11th, 2009 at 7:42 am

Next on Fallon’s list: Patti Smith.

# 60 BigBoyBC said, on November 11th, 2009 at 7:52 am

Bet she never has to worry about her so called “music” being pirated…

# 61 Lee E Stevens said, on November 11th, 2009 at 7:58 am

She is a train wreck.If this was her swan song maybe they will put her out of her misery because it is the most God Awful Cater-walling yet to be on TV.I was always surprised that John Lennon bought into her pretentious posing that was and always be insignificant and only attained because of the Beatles Wealth . Wealth she never created.

# 62 KneeJerk Optimist said, on November 11th, 2009 at 8:00 am

Years ago a friend grabbed a POB vinyl record with Yoko singing her “orgasm” song off the turntable and made a deep scratch in it with a key. Unfortunately, it was still playable and really didn’t sound all that different. (bad for the stylus, though)

I’d call this latest performance rock n’ roll for “free jazz” lovers.

That said, though, I think she’s an interesting visual artist. In one of her gallery shows there was a huge blank canvas with a stepladder in front of it, and a telescope mounted on top aimed at the center of the canvas. The viewer would climb to the top of the ladder and peer through the eyepiece to see the word “YES” in tiny letters. My favorite modern art has subtle hints of humor in it.

# 63 Lou said, on November 11th, 2009 at 8:02 am

She might get the lead singer gig with Aerosmith.
Good news is Steven Tyler is not leaving Aerosmith.

# 64 itrooper said, on November 11th, 2009 at 8:16 am

That is the soundtrack of my soul dying.

# 65 ScotterOtter said, on November 11th, 2009 at 8:30 am

b..b..b..but Rolling Stone gave her album 4 stars

# 66 alienbike said, on November 11th, 2009 at 9:26 am

Still killing the Beatles after all these years.

# 67 Michael_gr said, on November 11th, 2009 at 10:05 am

While I can’t say I actually liked it, I prefer people who write this kind of experimental crap over people who compose safe, boring music that goes in one ear and comes out the other.

# 68 TheMAXX said, on November 11th, 2009 at 11:30 am

Great use of the echo effect to create those cool rhythms in the beginning. Yeah she sings out of tune but that performance totally rocked! How many technically great singers put on terrible empty performances and lame songs. I personally think the emotional impact of a song is way more important than anything else. I really liked it!

#68 As long as you keep smoking what you did before watching that turd, I’m sure you’ll keep on liking it

# 70 impala79 said, on November 11th, 2009 at 1:12 pm

Reminds of this class Animaniacs bit:

#59 Nice. My dog is hiding under a blanket and I have to bleach my eyeballs.

# 72 Alex said, on November 12th, 2009 at 12:42 am

OMG….I just now get it!!!

She is having flash backs about her son, Sean’s birth.

All this time, I thought that she was trying to sing. It was all just breathing exercises & birthing pains.

Thank God that I got that cleared up. I wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight not knowing…… what am I talking about…. I won’t be able to sleep tonight now that I heard that again. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
