don't you know it's gonna be....
Awesome song!
Love this one! Even as a 7 year old back then it was tops with me !!!!!
A song with more than one part. Who does that remind you of?
The greatest. Love the Beatles
Amazing!! ❌⭕❌⭕
As I understand it, John wrote the song this way. Slow.
This is basically an outtake.
If you can listen to this song without singing along you have a stronger will than me!

This version, with its softer tone and addition of the word "in" after "count me out", was seen as a softening of John's anti-revolut i o n a r y sentiment of the earlier single version of "Revolution" (which was later included on the Hey Jude album)
"Revolution 9" was a completely different animal, it was a bizarre, apocalyptic sound collage heavily influenced by Yoko and had nothing whatsoever to do with those other two songs.
Favorit
Love, love it!! The slow drag is so great!



but if you want money for people with minds that hate
all i can tell you is brother you have to wait

Amen!!
the Love version is way better!!!!!
gotta be a lennon song
If you do your research, they did do quite a few amphetamines back in the days before they got their record deal. Back when they were working the clubs in Germany, it'd be uppers to get through the show and downers to sleep afterwards. It's a wonder that none of them died from drugs, honestly...
Really Gay and loving it!

Lennon plays beautiful boogie lines on the acoustic guitar. He walks elegantly across the scales.
AS FAR AS I'VE EVER READ FROM INTERVIEWS WITH LENNON ;ONLY HE SHOT HEROIN WITH YOKO. HENCE THE SONG COLD TURKEY.
cold turkey by john lennon? yeah, about kicking his heroin habit.
If only Brad Clarkston wasn't an ignorant homophobe and has to use the word "faggy" because he can't express himself in an intelligent way.
Carrying pictures of chaiman Mao? They must be singing about Annita Dunn!
I like this better than revolution 9. If only they didn't do they faggy "ah shooby doo bop"
No ludes. Heroin.
Did they takes ludes back then?

shoobe doo wah...shoobe doo wah....haha I love it.

Ugh, revolution 9 is so much better.
Ya gotta love the album's art work (it's in the upper-left hand corner of the screen...tru s t me, it's there. In fact, you can regard it as a test of aesthetic sensitivity. If you can see it, you're aestheticall y sensitive and worthy to listen to this sort of music. If you can't see it, you're aestheticall y unworthy to listen to this sort of music and should seek remedial instruction.

But what the hell do I know?
brighthue
Revolution.. . shoobe-doowa h oh...
luvpuppy94
love this song... but personally prefer the single version (just plain ol' "Revolution" ) to "Revolution 1". i think it captures the whole revolutionar y spirit better. personally. :D
"But when you talk about destruction/ D o n ' t you know that you can count me out (in)..."
Who else but THE BEATLES (in the 60's) would think to use the old metal ice cube separaters as a rythym instrument!! ! ! ! ! ! !
