13. Yes, and he now does musicals on Broadway. No lie.
He's still around, getting paid for making music.

4. I've never heard it, but
I'd say that just about anything is better than "Imagine". Awful, awful song. :puke:

7. "Do you like pina colada, and getting caught in the rain."
That's from the chorus; you might recognize it from that.

but overly sentimental plonk combined with below average music, hardly Lennon's best work. Yes, the Escape Song is better. Ten times better.

5. Well, it wasn't half bad :) , but better than "Imagine"?
Now if you'd said "better than (name of Oasis tune)", you'd be a Lounge hero forever, but...

"Imagine" is not funny like "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)" is.

10. "Escape" is my favorite karaoke song!
Nothing funnier than going up with a bunch of friends and singing "Escape." :rofl: Tucker

11. Love that song, but it was a bit overdone when it first came
out in the '70s. When I lived in Miami, the radio stations would play it at least once an hour.

15. I don't like either song, but at least in Imagine...
...the chorus has a different tune from the verse.

16. That's because neither chorus nor verse is good enough for a whole song.
With "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)", you have a tune which is good enough to keep listening to.

19. Yes, if you are completely out of your mind.
Otherwise no. And Imagine isn't even that great of a song. Great lyrics and concept, kind of boring as a tune.
