It's pleasant. Good enough to be a single, but in the scope of his work it's slight.

I also like it. I really like Double Fantasy...even most of the Yoko tracks.

Very much like it. I would never and have never changed the station when it comes on.

Love his take of Be-Bop-A-Lula, the original is great and Lennon's version is a hell of a lot of fun.
