Yoko Ono is a Japanese multimedia artist, singer, songwriter, and peace activist who is also known for her work in performance art, music, and filmmaking. Singer-songwriter John Lennon of the Beatles was her third husband. Actually parodized in Um Jammer Lammy, as a bitter celebrity ex-wife of Satan who went by the name of Teriyaki Yoko (more importantly, the flipping PARODY also made infinitely better music than the real thing)
A shrieking harpy with zero talent.
Do these lyrics sound like music:
