You surely NEVER skipped over "I'm Your Angel" on the "Double Fantasy" album, did you?
What could be more amusing than a Japanese Betty Boop?
Some may be a little disgusted by an 80 year-old woman singing campy-gayish stuff, but those people we simply call...heterosexuals.
Put on your fairy wings and fly up to the cloud:

And pay attention to how harrowingly HAAH-ODD she pronounced the word "Hard."
The lyrics have a fairly banal rhyme scheme but seem pretty serious. The music and vocals, however, are quite lah-dee-dah, like a scene out of some Warhol movie where the drag queen puts on her best make-up (ineptly) and struts out of the apartment (manfully) while wearing some cinched-waist dress (painfully) and a flouncy hat (ridiculously) to go find a better life (seriously) not caring what anyone thinks (obviously).
Yoko is capable of good, normal singing. "Walking on Thin Ice" for example. "What a Bastard The World Is" for another. She's also succeeded in a wide range of styles, from the screaming (which worked on the track "Why" from her first album) to Euro-sex avant garde ("Kiss Kiss Kiss").
Yoko can also be CUTE (hear: "Who Has Seen the Wind"). But...you think this one might be...TOO cute?
The song begins with a count-off, "One two three four..." But I listened twice, and that's enough.
