| GWB Covers John Lennon's Imagine (kinda sorta) |
| 2005-08-26 |
| Just heard a sample on the local oldies station, I was LMAO. George Bush has been keeping musical company with John Lennon this year and it's been entertaining thousands. Yes, it's true, the former Beatle is long dead and the US President, unlike his sax-honking predecessor, confined his "tooting" to wild parties during his youth. But thanks to the efforts of a Sydney musician-cum-political activist, this unlikely duo has had one of the most requested tracks on radio for several months, here and overseas. The song, Imagine This, features the cut-and-spliced voice of Mr Bush seemingly repeating segments of Imagine, Lennon's 1971 plea for secular harmony. Over modern dance beats and the original Lennon piano, Bush can be heard saying things such as "imagine there's no countries, it is not hard to do, nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too, and that's a good thing". Rest (and the song itself) at the link... |
