What I don't get is why every flippin' poll ever has that tedious dirge "Imagine" as the greatest single of all time. I'm afraid I have a pathological hatred of it, not least because of the video of John Lennon playing his perfect white piano in his perfect white mansion whilst singing about having "no possessions".
Incidentally, when I found out that Channel 4 were doing a 'Best Number 1 Single of the Millenium' phone poll - or whatever it was - I immediately jumped up and voted for Captain Sensible's "Happy Talk"; it didn't even make it to 100th place. What a swizz.
I actually quite like the song. You have a damn good point about the piano and the mansion though
A poor second to Joe Dolci's "Shuddupayaface" I feel, but still worthyIncidentally, when I found out that Channel 4 were doing a 'Best Number 1 Single of the Millennium' phone poll - or whatever it was - I immediately jumped up and voted for Captain Sensible's "Happy Talk"; it didn't even make it to 100th place.

Interestingly, Wikipedia has this to say on the subject of Joe Dolce:
Own up - who wrote that?Dolce is believed to be currently residing in the Denny area, just outside Stirling after swapping his Texas ranch for a 2 bedroom maisonette, claiming "It's sound man. It's got a verranda". One night while on a night out in Falkirk, he told someone to "Shaddap You Face" and received the discipline of the baseball bat. Joe can currently be seen sitting on his verranda shouting at passers by.

was it the dust balls rolling past that made you think of Kansas ?
