I like how even though the writers knew most kids wouldn’t even realize what this was referencing they still went for it and made it equally funny to kids and people who actually know who The Beatles are That takes talent
That's how it was for me. I knew they were parodying the Beatles but I had no clue about Yoko Ono and was just laughing my ass off at her bad singing. Imagine my shock when I found out from my folks, "Yeah, that's pretty much what happened."
I was 15 when this aired and I knew the Beatles even yellow submarine since the eighties as a kid and I remembered Beatles cartoons when I was a kid on Disney channel
I didn’t realize they were referencing The Beatles when I was little. But I kind of remember watching this episode as a kid and was laughing at the yodeling part
Worthless Urchin I was gonna say Yoko doesn't sing anywhere near this well! A morning show where I live uses her singing to "punish the audience" if they've gotten a lot of stupid calls. It's an effective deterrent.
+krishna doraisamy "not sing nearly this IN KEY" as in she doesnt sing nearly this good. its a joke about how shes an even worse singer than this portrays
I never understood this as a kid but I laughed because she sounded weird. Now that I'm an adult I laughed even harder because I understand the incredibly accurate description about Yoko! I haven't laughed this hard at a cartoon in years!
It's always funny when you learn about something through a parody of it, and then you see or hear the original and realize that it is just as bad as the parody. Southpark once did a parody on ghost hunter shows in which they showed a bunch of people walking around a house with flashlights saying "Did you hear that? Did you hear that?". I did not believe that there could be a show that dumb, but then I watched one and that's exactly what it was.
it's a reference to ringo screaming "i've got blisters on my fingers!" at the end of helter skelter because of how long and hard he had to play the drums
I remember having never heard Yoko Ono sing in my entire life, so I always thought Animaniacs was just joking about how bad she was when I was a kid. But then I took a second and I looked her up. I fucking threw up.
I love how they each have the same tone in their voices. Not the same sound, but same exact range as the actual Beatles. This entire clip was accurate in every way
"What we are singing is take off your pants!" XD That is brilliant There is no better way to turn such a serious song into the silliest thing on the planet
1nceBitten2wiceShy No those were the words that she sang in this cartoon. If you can call those words but it was quite a good impression of her. For it to be Old McDonald it would have to have been ee ii ee i oh.
Exactly! Kids then did not know the backstory of Oko and John. The most cringe moment had to be John and Oko's appearance with Chuck Berry on stage. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check it out in TH-cam.
My mom and uncle have always been huge Beatles fans. I remember watching this episode when I was about 5 or 6, and seeing them laughing uncontrollably while watching with me 🤣 I just thought Yoko’s singing was funny, but I had no idea the reasons why
bman4099 3 against 1. John looses. Of course John is going to say a deluded thing like that. Yo No Talent had him under a spell. Witches are known do that kind of thing.
Jeff Bennett was the replacement voice for David Tomlinson in the restoration of *Bedknobs and Broomsticks.* That movie also makes reference to The Beatles when the undersea band in the animated sequence made an octopus the drummer. And when the main human characters get to the land part of Naboombu, the Sailor Bear who caught them and cost them their dance trophy (essentially breaking up the act) that they would not have been able to bring home anyway responds, “People? People? *Oh no,* what scurvy luck!” Ringo Starr also later recorded a pre-Disney Sherman Brothers song, “You’re Sixteen.” The star of that movie, Angela Lansbury, was also targeted by Charles Manson. Or more accurately, her daughter Deidre was, and they both had to leave the United States to get her away from them.
I'm afraid they were much too lenient on Yoko here. They showed her keeping a beat. In real life, she couldn't even manage that, let alone sing like a human being.
lmao....eeeeeee yoooooooooo eeeeeeeee yoooooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeee Yoyo Nono lol. it's funny but when you look up songs she did back in the day with them, she DOES sound like that. that primal scream lol
i remeber seeing this with a friend when it came out and wondering how many teens let alone, kids would even getthis whole cartoon! 20yrs later and wow!
I just happened to turn this on my t.v. tonight...and oh my gosh--funniest thing EVER! I turned it on right when the scene started, too! My mom and I laughed so hard. Of course, I wouldn't have understood it when I was little, but now that I'm in LOVE with the Beatles, it's hilarious.
When I was younger I never got a lot of the references on this show. But now I just laugh even harder than I did when I was younger now that I get all the references.
George Harrison: She's awful. Paul McCartney: She's terrible! Ringo Starr: She can't sing! John Lennon: I love her! Yoko Ono: I will sing my love song EEEEEEEEEOHHHHHHH
I like how they took actual, real Beatles events and just kinda mashed them up and mixed in their own... imagination... to come up with a pretty hilarious story
That was funny as hell, what really cracks me up is that is exactly what Yoko sounds like. I've got three words for Lennon should I meet him after I die.... What The Fuck!
I will sing you my happy song: heeeeeeee yooooo heeeeeee yooooo I will sing you my sad song: heeeeeeee yooooo heeeeeee yooooo I will sing you my love song: heeeeeeee yooooo heeeeeee yooooo jajajaja
"Take off your pants" seems very appropriate considering the Two virgins album cover(By the way look closely, "Jim" is wearing John's necklace from that cover in this cartoon.)
Whats crazy is thats exactly how Yoko sings. I thought they were just exaggerating.
i know right ahh god
and how she kills the beatles
it shows that yoko sings like a dead cat trying to craw back to the world of the living
ikr, I was surprised she was that irritating.
Postmodern art, bruh.
Paul- It’s so quiet
*yoko shows up*
nice name Pol
It was George but yea
Pool McDonald’s
Oh hey it’s Poland McCarthyism
I love your name 😂
This is more accurate than any Beatles biopic.
I know!
That and Dewey Cox
Lindsay Ellis destroyed this Racist Misogynistic rumor on her just dropped Nebula doc
Lindsay Ellis is a handmaid and a degenerate.
According to George Harrison, The Rutles: All You Need is Cash mockumentary was a better biopic than the Beatles one, so yeah XD

The all lady's songs have the exact same lyrics.
George Harrison approves of good dental hygiene!
Funny cause he ate a lot of sweets back in the day and would sometimes get cavities

All you eat is lunch! All you drink is punch! You don't have time to munch, brunch! All you eat is lunch!
Still a better song than most things on the radio. By the way, I think it's munch, not much.

Perfect theme song for the intermittent fasting movement!
I like how even though the writers knew most kids wouldn’t even realize what this was referencing they still went for it and made it equally funny to kids and people who actually know who The Beatles are
That takes talent
When I first saw this I of course didn't get it. But my mom was watching with me and cracking up and I couldn't understand why at the time. lol
That's how it was for me. I knew they were parodying the Beatles but I had no clue about Yoko Ono and was just laughing my ass off at her bad singing. Imagine my shock when I found out from my folks, "Yeah, that's pretty much what happened."

I didn’t realize they were referencing The Beatles when I was little. But I kind of remember watching this episode as a kid and was laughing at the yodeling part
Accurate portrayal of Yoko Ono.
yes
Her singing is too good...
I've been wondering for years which cartoon I remembered this from.
You've gotta wonder if she was kinda crazy. And John too, for that matter. Lol
Lol
That "I have blisters on me fingers" at the end is wonderful.
She is the definition of "Just because I cannot sing, doesn't mean I won't"
Imagine a duet between her and Linda McCartney.
its funny because its true
Chris Carpenter ikr
Yes...
an accurate portrayal of what happened
This is completely inaccurate. Yoko literally does not sing nearly this in key
Worthless Urchin only worse
Worthless Urchin I was gonna say Yoko doesn't sing anywhere near this well! A morning show where I live uses her singing to "punish the audience" if they've gotten a lot of stupid calls. It's an effective deterrent.

Yeah, it's extremely noticeable
Or someone who just appreciates music

"She can't sing! Said Thomas!"
That had me legitimately laughing!

Painfully accurate.

Sounds like a donkey being violated.
I love how good they look in this art style!
Yellow submarine all over again.
Wow! EVERY detail about this episode was incredibly accurate and yet still hilarious. Blown away as how good this is. As an adult I get it even more.
We had some if not the best cartoons in the 1990's
Well, no.
i saw a clip of yoko singing and she DOES sing like that lmao xD
noemistephanie93 yeah cause she’s screaming. That’s what she calls it, screaming.
I'd rather watch Selena (Quintanilla) sing.
Only difference is Yoyo is actually good!
Jim Lemon and Yo-yo No-no XD
This was my introduction to yoko ono.
As an adult i cant belive how spot on they are about her "music"
My intro to yoko was Simpsons when I was ten in 92 and seeing Beatles biographies
I never understood this as a kid but I laughed because she sounded weird. Now that I'm an adult I laughed even harder because I understand the incredibly accurate description about Yoko!
I haven't laughed this hard at a cartoon in years!

I did not believe that there could be a show that dumb, but then I watched one and that's exactly what it was.
Nevermind; I know what's going on.
I still think quite often a lot about the 'Simpsons' character: the Washington State University Professor Daniel Mulgrew.
Professor Daniel Mulgrew looks like John Lennon.
The end I HAVE BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS! is amazing 😂😂😂 The accuracy of John and Yoko's relationship is surprising
They missed the drugs and cheating on both ends, all from one partt.
Chloe Craig I was dying the entire time from that
it's a reference to ringo screaming "i've got blisters on my fingers!" at the end of helter skelter because of how long and hard he had to play the drums
and then he threw his drum sticks
I remember having never heard Yoko Ono sing in my entire life, so I always thought Animaniacs was just joking about how bad she was when I was a kid.
But then I took a second and I looked her up.
I fucking threw up.
***** Yes she really does sing like that. Yeesh.
She sounds terrible even if she's just talking.
bright632 actually higher pitched and worse.
Her songs with her screaming in them are real punk rock.
+MountainFox51
Didn't you realize that Pinky and the Brain is a documentary?
"My team strongly advised me not to talk about it, but they never said I couldn't sing"
-Yoko Oh Nooooooo
Richard Harris: Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
it's yoyo nono
Yoko would put a banshee out of business with that voice.
Damn, the writers were really taking shots...probably because they adored the Beatles so much.
1:09 And the award for best imitation of Yoko Ono goes to
Imagine getting paid to sound this bad.
Jim Lemon and Yoyo Nono really do make a perfect couple!
I always like how they make fun of Yoko Ono's bad singing.
I love how they each have the same tone in their voices. Not the same sound, but same exact range as the actual Beatles. This entire clip was accurate in every way
I'VE GOT BLISTERS ON MY FINGERS
AUOUGHAOUGH
Narf
nope, it´s on ME fingers
I love how Yoyo's hair gets all bristly like an angry cat's when she starts singing :D
It's "The Feebles." They were a major influence on the "The Beatles."
"What we are singing is take off your pants!"
XD That is brilliant
There is no better way to turn such a serious song into the silliest thing on the planet
Pants are opressive, man.
What is the original?
Give peace a chance.
This show was so brilliant!
I wouldn’t say the song is serious. It’s sincere.
I remember watching this as a shit kid. I thought she was made up. Like, nobody could sound that awful AND be famous.
+johnny3400 Too much faith in humanity
Eeyore?
a lot of shows like powerpuff girls 98 and the simpsons poked fun at Yoko and even at how she destroyed the band
I don't think she's famous in a positive light...
BooRadley3400 have you listened to 85 percent of the music thats come out in the past decade?
How could yoko ono suprise you?
Does anyone have the lyrics to Yoyo's songs?
JWEFJSFIO IOFJ WOIEJ OWIJEIOJWEOIJKJV!!

I think yoko sounds a hell of a lot better in this then she does in real life
Here's the list of songs by the Beatles (and John Lennon) used in this episode:
1.) All you need is Love
2.) Run for your life
3.) Give Peace a Chance
And
She loves you yeah yeah yeah

I thought John saying "I love her" when nobody else did was actually really sweet.
Yoko: "EEEEEEEEEE YOOOOOOOOO"
All the Feebles sound like Wakko
That's because Wakko's voice is based off Ringo Starr.
And Jess Harnell (Wakko) did voice all four of them in this episode.
KingOfSciliy Actually, Jess Harnell only voiced two of them while Jeff Bennett voiced the other two.
I always thought Wakko was supposed to be Ringo, but in this George sounds more like him...
Jeff Bennett was the replacement voice for David Tomlinson in the restoration of *Bedknobs and Broomsticks.* That movie also makes reference to The Beatles when the undersea band in the animated sequence made an octopus the drummer. And when the main human characters get to the land part of Naboombu, the Sailor Bear who caught them and cost them their dance trophy (essentially breaking up the act) that they would not have been able to bring home anyway responds, “People? People? *Oh no,* what scurvy luck!” Ringo Starr also later recorded a pre-Disney Sherman Brothers song, “You’re Sixteen.”
The star of that movie, Angela Lansbury, was also targeted by Charles Manson. Or more accurately, her daughter Deidre was, and they both had to leave the United States to get her away from them.
Watching this now I can't believe how they got away with this.
I also love it even more now.
This is far better singing than Yoko could actually sing...if you would even call it that.
That’s because Tress MacNeille is a professional voice actress.
0:46 George Harrison = Wakko Warner (The voice)
you know that the inspiration for Wakko’s voice was Ringo
Yes I knew that. Although in this scene Ringo sounds more like himself and not like Wakko. lol
Pretty accurate
yeahhh the Helter Skelter final quote!
I have blisters in my eardrums.😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I love how the Beatles fandom have such a love for satirical depictions of the Beatles like they did themselves.
You can tell when they did their homework.
I'm a die hard Beatles fan, & I LOVE this!!! :)
I'm afraid they were much too lenient on Yoko here. They showed her keeping a beat. In real life, she couldn't even manage that, let alone sing like a human being.
She can keep a beat pretty good tbh.
Yoko Ono is just so god damn easy to make fun of. And Tom Ruegger and his team pulled no punches!
Few targets of satire and parody have been this deserving.

Ringo: "She cant sing!"
John: "I LOVE HER!" lol

When I was younger I never got a lot of the references on this show. But now I just laugh even harder than I did when I was younger now that I get all the references.

"shes horrible!"
"she can't sing."
"i LOVE her."
oh, john...
Literally had me dying Lmaoo!
I wish these Beatles cartoons were back on TV.😎
i love how her hair goes crazy
Omigod, Yoko Nono's singing always cracked me up.
She has that effect on people. And priceless porcelain.
John and Yoko were on the Smothers Brothers. After Yoko's first chorus the network turned off her microphone.
1:05 omg that singing!!!!! Its sooo true!!! Im not surprised if John and Yoko met that way....
George Harrison: She's awful.
Paul McCartney: She's terrible!
Ringo Starr: She can't sing!
John Lennon: I love her!
Yoko Ono: I will sing my love song EEEEEEEEEOHHHHHHH
mousarishi, what have you done? You made a fool of everyone!

Evil nothing the John Lennon one fell in love with her
That makes him a yenta.

The voices are a sight better than the old cartoons!
What about in yellow submarine?
That was funny as hell, what really cracks me up is that is exactly what Yoko sounds like. I've got three words for Lennon should I meet him after I die.... What The Fuck!
That’s not even taking into account how badly he messed up his family and marriage
That's how Yoko sing tho..

If that is what she sounds like while singing, im afraid to hear what noises she makes when she is crying EEEEEEOOOOOHHHHH
"performance artist and really bad singer"
And that’s the way it is.
She's ugly. John: she's hot.
LOL...Pinky & the Brain was always the best part of Animaniacs
It’s like they used the real Yoko Ono’s voice in this! Lol
I know right?! Scary accurate although she doesn't usually sing that in key
Whatever key she sings in, that’s the key that she sings in. At least when she sings in it.
"Take off your pants" seems very appropriate considering the Two virgins album cover(By the way look closely, "Jim" is wearing John's necklace from that cover in this cartoon.)
While this is just a spoof of the Beatles its so well done and I appreciate it ever so much and it is absolutely brilliant
"The Feebles, those four fresh-faced Liverpudlian mop-tops."
Notice that Paul held his guitar left-handed. Astute attention to detail.
I HAVE BLISTERS ON ME FINGERS!!!! ahahaha Narf!
