Ya Ya
John Lennon · Lennon - Signature Box [2010]
Waiting for the Ya Ya, uh huh
Sitting in the La La
Waiting for the Ya Ya, uh huh
It may sound funny
But it's alright honey, uh huh
Hey baby worry, don't make worry, uh huh
Hey baby hurry, don't make worry, uh huh
Ya Ya
Recorded by John Lennon on the 1972 album 'Lennon', this track stands as a vibrant example of his mid-period pop sensibilities, blending psychedelic rock with a distinct melodic hook. The song features Lennon's characteristic vocal delivery, characterized by a playful, almost mischievous tone that contrasts with the serious social commentary often found in his earlier work. Released during a time when Lennon was actively engaging with the music industry and exploring new sonic textures, the recording captures the energy of the era while maintaining his signature songwriting structure. It serves as a testament to his ability to craft catchy, radio-friendly material that nonetheless reflected his evolving artistic identity beyond the shadow of The Beatles.
