Written by Lennon and recorded by John and Paul without the other 2 Beatles, "The Ballad of John and Yoko" (Lennon/McCartney1969) became the Beatles 17th and final #1 single in the UK.
This song is an obvious choice for our Yoko Ono theme, but an enjoyable one, nonetheless.
The title of the song tells us all we need to know. John and Yoko were married March 20, 1969 and this song describes all of the events surrounding their marriage: marriage arrangements, a bed-in for peace, bagism, the press' involvement, etc.
Fun fact: this song was banned in several countries for the use of the word 'Christ'.
