"...Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No 4-million-dollar mansions
Or 'driving Rolls not Chevy vans' ..."
No doubt John Lennon was quite sincere and heart-felt when he wrote IMAGINE.
However, when one is a celebrity recording act worth a few million who resides in a huge mega-mansion and they write lyrics like "Imagine no possessions" they're sort of asking to be parodied.
"...I don't care too much for money 'cause money can't buy me love ..."
I imagine CAN'T BUY ME LOVE also garnered it's fair share of derision, especially with Paul McCartney on lead vocals.
