Whyyyyyyyyy? Just why?

I heard some on the radio this morning, it was so awful I laughed.

LakieLady · 19/03/2020 16:29

Sacrilege to have anyone bar Lennon sing it imo.

I still find it hard listen to. The morning Lennon was shot, I was at a friend's house. We heard he'd been shot, and the next radio news bulletin said he'd died. We were both stunned, speechless, and my friend walked across to the stereo and played "Imagine".

I only have to hear the first few notes and I'm still right back in that moment, 40 years later.

I assume they’re trying to get us all to kick ourselves so the virus isn’t an issue?

TheQueef · 19/03/2020 16:31

They just have to spoil things.
Anything to get in the media.
Sacrilege.

Thought I was the only one. I can't bear it.

@LAKIELADY That was my 25th birthday. I woke to hearing that on the news on my radio alarm.

minou123 · 19/03/2020 17:03

What fresh hell is this?

I had to watch it. I didnt think I could suffer any more. I was wrong.

Heartbrokenandsad · 19/03/2020 17:10

Oh my god, i am currently nursing a broken heart and this has made me laugh loads at the cringiness of it all, its really cheered me up by how bad it is hahaha

TomPinch · 19/03/2020 17:13

Imagine a world without Imagine.

It's impossible, even if you try.

Bloody awful dirge, but not as bad as that knock-off that Julian Lennon sang back in the 90s.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 19/03/2020 17:14

🎶Imagine no possessions🎶
🎶In my fucking massive house🎶

newyearnoeu · 19/03/2020 17:41

I don't know....on one hand it's pure bum clenchingly cringey and tone-deaf.....on the other hand it has technically achieved its aims of distracting people and bringing them together....in shared mockery Grin

Who is the woman who films herself in the mirror whilst bellowing her line like a rutting stag?

Lordfrontpaw · 19/03/2020 17:50

We should do our own version

I didn’t recognise most of them, my 6 year old just said it was hideous 😂😂
