Instant Karma! It is real

Instant Karma! Is a track off the Plastic Ono Band, a very catchy John Lennon song. Plastic on a band was sort of a super group of Lennon’s at formed in 1969 through 1970. He’s really talking about something here. 

     “Instant Karma’s gonna get you, gonna

knock you on the head. You better get 

       yourself together, darling. Are you soon 

       gonna be dead.”

This is so true karma is real and it does get ya. I always try to be positive and lead positive impacts on others. I think if you don’t, it comes back to you tenfold I’ve seen it happen. Do by others it’s just a natural thing and it feels right and then you know karma’s on your side. In the 90s I recall Nike did a really interesting ab campaign with this song and like the words popping at in 3-D was very powerful and I think it worked well.

Anyhow, enjoy this tune it’s very good, and you’ll find very interesting who was on hand to record this song in the studio:

John Lennon: lead vocal, acoustic guitar, backing vocals, piano

George Harrison: electric guitar, piano, backing vocals,

Klaus Voormann: bass guitar, electric piano, backing vocals

Alan White: drums, piano, backing vocals

Billy Preston: Hammond organ, backing vocals

Yoko Ono: backing vocals 

Mal Evan’s: chimes, hand claps, backing vocals

As always thank you for reading and listening 🎵🎶🎼😊

  1. Love Lennon’s music, all throughout his projects. I even went on a bit of a rant about one of The Beatles’ albums being perfect in an article a little while ago. All that being said, I had not heard this one before, so thank you for sharing it and educating me!

    I think it has got quite a unique sound to it, and it is interesting to see the musicians playing on it. Will have to add this one to my music library.
