Cleanup Time by John Lennon – ****

First released: 1980

I really dug on this bouncy tune from John and Yoko’s "Double Fantasy" when I first heard it. In fact, I wished this song were released as a single instead of "(Just Like) Starting Over". Remember, I wasn’t and still am not that interested in lyrics, so the tune was always more important to me. That’s why "Woman" and "Watching the Wheels" (also served up as singles) didn’t do that much for me at age 13. Strangely, this was the sole Lennon "Double Fantasy" track left off of "The John Lennon Collection" from 1982. They probably knew I liked it. It was, however, included on 1990’s "Lennon".
