in 1969, john lennon and yoko ono rented billboards in major cities around the world with a message that read, WAR IS OVER! (If You Want It) Happy Christmas from John and Yoko. two years later, as the united states continued to wage ware in vietnam, along with the harlem community choir, john and yoko wrote and recorded this song.

several years ago, our favorite creepy cult-like band, the polyphonic spree, recorded a new version and it’s as relevant now as it was when the original was recorded.
