#1 – How the fuck did you last one minute? UFB!
At 76 she looks like she needs a bat in her upper deck.
As for the noise that’s what the mute button is for.
That wasn’t good.
Wow… The instrumental work is actually quite funky… otherwise should be titled “Crazy Asian Lady Screams”
I agree, if it was Bjork, people would be saying it was genius…
As much as I think Yoko is extreme/shock artist, the music was great and she actually did pretty damned good.
She’s very ground breaking… and this pushes it further in the same direction from the ’70s.
Oh Yoko! My love will turn, you on…
I could take about 10 seconds of that… if you look past everything she looks to have nice cans!!
That Rocked!
What a bunch of old geezers here on DU.
“Hey you rocking 76 year old widow! Get off my lawn!”
I thought it was a bit B52ish. The mwahahahaha’s wore pretty thin mighty fast. Still, pretty good for a granny.
The Oh No ! Band ???
Oh my gosh.. After all of these years, she still hasn’t a clue. Tone death and brain fried with a bunch of yelling, screaming, and no lyrics.. and there ya go.. Yoko Ono.
Wow, I can see what John loved about her!
I wonder what it would look like if she went insane!
#38 the b52’s got that from her and I love Yoko. Listen to Season of Glass and know real talent. Her entire catalogue is better than most of the trash being put out today,
I think I’d just as soon listen to people call hogs or turkeys.
If you like it that’s fine with me just as long as I don’t have to listen.
Talentless, ugly old hag hit the lottery when an obviously drugged out of his mind Lennon took a shine to her. Screaming and shrieking is not music. When is she going to fucking die already?
I see Yoko waiting for the “D” train all the time.
SON-OF-A-BITCH……
Tell her to put down that CRACKPIPE!!!
She may be waiting for the D-Train,
but I don’t think she has made it off the CRACK-TRAIN.
Forget AUTOTUNE… now there’s YOKOTUNE!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
I think it was very interesting. I have heard about Yoko’s performances but never seen one. The world is better with variety and Yoko is definitely unique. I also enjoyed Sean’s guitar playing. I once saw him on a little stage at a festival in Australia and he was very good.
Perhaps this is the music industry’s way of punishing file sharers.
Wow. I think I had rather poke hot needles through my eyes than listen to the second half of that video. Epic fail for Ono and Fallon. NBC executives are idiots and they’re obviously smoking crack.
I just gained a whole new appreciation for the “just” bad.
Only her personal wealth could promote something like that. BUT, the worse part is that are actually people that liked it !!!
I like Fallon, but he just can’t carry a show. I have never checked the ratings, can someone tell me how his “show” is doing?
I will say this. I would rather that psycho be waiting for “D-Train”, than out on the road driving a car! WHOLLY SH!TIIII It would be like like the wreck in Pelham 1-2-3. Could you see her tooling down 7th ave… OMG!!!
I already downloaded that clip and trimmed it down and MMS’d it to my friends. I don’t think that they can sleep now!!! TE-HE-HE!

I cannot agree with you at all.
That was a totally unstructured mess. None of it fit whatsoever. Even if you allow for a freestyle jam of the totally bizarre (Zappa) or structurally bizarre (Residents), this is nothing of either sort in talent or quality.
It had all the quality of a drunk person at a karaoke bar who forgot the lyrics to a song.
She did it passionately I will give her that. But that is all she had. Akin to watching Imelda Marcos on a binge. And just as over-dramatic.

She was a joke, and still is a joke…

Real music fans get it
Real music fans have better discrimination. If this was 14 year olds it makes sense. Maybe 30 years ago it’s interesting as-is. But it’s 2009 and adults–old ones no less–which makes it shit. OK, so if you’re younger than dirt I’ll give you a break. But for anyone who actually bought a Beatles album when it was new this is old and tired.
Bjork has rhythm, tone, and has a clue about musical notes. Yoko has none of that, which is probably why Lennon married her.
This is exactly, as I remember Yoko, 25 years ago. It sucked then, it sucks now.
Yet another reason to hate Yoko.
Next on Fallon’s list: Patti Smith.
Bet she never has to worry about her so called “music” being pirated…
She is a train wreck.If this was her swan song maybe they will put her out of her misery because it is the most God Awful Cater-walling yet to be on TV.I was always surprised that John Lennon bought into her pretentious posing that was and always be insignificant and only attained because of the Beatles Wealth . Wealth she never created.
Years ago a friend grabbed a POB vinyl record with Yoko singing her “orgasm” song off the turntable and made a deep scratch in it with a key. Unfortunately, it was still playable and really didn’t sound all that different. (bad for the stylus, though)
I’d call this latest performance rock n’ roll for “free jazz” lovers.
That said, though, I think she’s an interesting visual artist. In one of her gallery shows there was a huge blank canvas with a stepladder in front of it, and a telescope mounted on top aimed at the center of the canvas. The viewer would climb to the top of the ladder and peer through the eyepiece to see the word “YES” in tiny letters. My favorite modern art has subtle hints of humor in it.
