Yoko Ono - Walking On Thin Ice



That's the 12'' mix, in the YouTube video above.

You know... This was released in January 1981. The song was actually completed in December 1980, the night John Lennon was murdered. So, it's 29 years old and still sounds amazingly fresh today.

There's a few songs which came later which totally rip this song off... 'Burning Down The House' by Talking Heads springs to mind immediately.

Can anybody deny that this is an absolutely amazing tune?

That "duet" version of 'Revelations' with Cat Power made me cry the first time I heard it.

that's an amazing song too. "rising" is a very emotional and wise album as far as i'm concerned.

I adore this track, and she has tons of killer songs. Turned The Corner is one of my faves.
