"Shoo Bee Doo Wop"

I'm on my Fabulous 4 kick again. This song is forkin' awesome, and it is done live with overdubs , of course, but it's one of the heaviest songs ever.

Written by John Lennon, who wanted to clarify the group's position on the changing world. Circa the "Flower Power Era." When bombs and napalm and civil unrest were exploding all over da world.

I could be wrong-won't be the first time and certainly not the last-but methinks the video debuted on the old "Smothas ( Smothers ) Brothas Show."

It's one of me favorite songs from the Fab 4. If you've never seen it, here it is for your viewing pleasure. Unfortunately, the person who posted it has "embedding disabled by request" so....

We'd all love to see the plan, v.c.

P.S. The Stone Temple Pilots covered it back in '01 for a John Lennon tribute. Included here as well.
