So was Moko Jono supposed to be a subtle reference to Yoko Ono?

Subtle as a brick to the face.

If you actually watched the show you'd know it was a disguise.

I always hated this episode as a kid. I knew it was supposed to be a Beatles tribute but I didn't give a fuck about them so it was just stupid and boring

I figured the episode was a Star Fox reference since it had Sergeant Pepper.

Hey Jude, We Come Together to tell you that the whole episode was a Day Tripper in a Yellow Submarine. We Can Work It Out that this wasn't subtle at all, Hello Goodbye.

No she was supposed to be Jane Fonda, clearly

This was one of those episodes that made me cringe because my mom would always make comments about me not understanding the references in an episode like this. Maybe it was arrogant of me, but it makes the episode no fun when a parent is nearby saying you don't underatand what you're watching. You know what I mean? Shows had these cringe episodes where I feel like your parents would judge you for watching Dexter's parody Godzilla episode or something full of references that they think 'belong to them'. Probably in my head.

Maybe it made me cringe the idea that I was expected to get a kick out of really horrible Beatles references

I have literally never had this happen to me.

your parents sound irritating

I don't see how you could have not gotten the reference unless you didn't know who yoko ono was.

I just learned that the drum beat in the Powerpuff Girls theme is a sped up version of the drums from James Brown's "Funky Drummer."

My mom was. When my band tried to write a song all point out if she geard familiar riffs and told us to 'be original', also was against drawing from reference or personal interest. she's gotten better

I didn't think this thread was a subtle attempt as misdirection, but Yea Forums says otherwise.

Dammit Raimi

real question, i'm not really into music, but is there something that defines pop music that's about the music itself?
like, the kind of instruments used, the themes of the lyrics ecc ecc
because if the only defining trait for pop music is that it's popular, it shouldn't even be called a genre
by that metric woodstock would be one of the biggest pop music festival, despite being basically several subgenres of rock

On a technical spectrum, if its popular then its pop music. Pop is just a broad term

I hate Beatles, but had some good laughs. Granted I got a lot of the references and wasn't a kid, so that helps.

Since this is a Beatles thread, can anyone explain what the fuck was up with the song Maxwell's Silver Hammer? Why did they make a song about a dude going around murdering people?

"The Beatles are overrated" is such a smooth brain contrarian opinion. It's cool and fine if you personally don't like them, but they're one of the most (if not THE most) prolific bands in music for a reason. There is no other group in existence with as much mainstream staying power. They were lightning in a bottle talent that broke the music industry, able to generate mass appeal hits while also constantly innovating and experimenting with all different kinds of sounds.

They also made the first metal song: youtube.com/watch?v=vWW2SzoAXMo

No the user ragging on the Beatles, but who cares? I also dont like them and think their music is unappealing, will that opinion detail their huge success? No. Just take it as a sign of people having different tastes in music. Christ, I love Alice in Chains and I hear people rag on them every now and then but I don't go out of my way put them down.

It's kind of similar to the feeling I get when someone someone calls Superman generic.

Wait, so of course Mojo was John, but who were the other villains represented as?

HIM was clearly Paul McCartney due to being a massive ponce.

He said it's fine if you don't like them, you whiny pussy

Not subtle at all.

pop = boys band shit or a singer that girls get wet at.

Pop actually isn't a genre and anyone who uses it as one is an idiot, you have genres like rock and then you have rock music that is pop because it is popular.

of course not
the whole episode was a loud beetles wank episode

fuzzy was probably Ringo

This whole episode must have been a nightmare to dub into other languages.

By that logic the Beatles were pop af

my girlfriends parents do this all the time
And shes a grown woman

I know that, I've had some friends who think if there's anything similar in something you make, it's bad, shit like that. I knew an older guy once who refused to believe I listened to music older than the year 2000 and would always make me list off every band member that played on a song. Eventually I just got tired of it and let him win because it was fucking annoying, and told him "I don't know" to shut him up. Thank the lord, he never asked me again.

The Beatles being overrated is objectively correct, but saying that they're shit is contrarian.

John and Yoko were both shitty people. Change my mind.

Ignore the other answers. Pop music is music with a heavy emphasis on simple and pleasant melodies, it used to be a shorthand for popular but theirs lots of indie pop made by bands that aren't consistently breaking the charts.

so who was MCCartney, Herrison and Ringo?

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles.

You're too patrician for this shit board

You just disproved your own argument.

OP. Any parody of Yoko Ono is not subtle at all. The moment anything, let alone a cartoon, parodies the Beatles with 4 characters, one of them will definitely go full John Lennon, so a Yoko character will definitely be phoned in. It's not subtle and it's a lazy,tired trope. You should feel ashamed for making this thread.

Watching this episode with my mom was one of my best memories as a kid. I got some of the references and she explained the rest.

It's the usual MRA doublespeak, supposedly men have superior brains to women but these four men with their so-called superior brains were somehow manipulated into breaking the band apart by a single woman? Not a good look. If men are supposedly superior then the blame rests entirely on John.

Absolutely not, but because he had by FAR the strongest/funniest accent of them, wrote the fewest songs, and played the fewest instruments, that's how he was often portrayed. Watch the old Beatles cartoon, it's full of jokes at his expense

It doesn't help that his own bandmates often disrespected him time and time again

Kinda like their old drummer before he left and Ringo replaced him

>among boomers
that's immaterial. They literally reshaped popular music culture - I doubt that there's been a single artist since the 70's who was not influenced by them to some degree

Nah it really wasn't that bad. There was that one joke John made about him not being the best drummer, but John apologized to him really shortly after. he was funnily enough probably the most well-liked by the other three. None of them have EVER gone on record saying a word against him, and all of them were on good terms with him even after the breakup - he's the only one to collaborate with all three in their solo careers.

Funnily enough, Ringo probably has had more influence on music than any of the others did alone. The man reinvented drumming from the ground up and a lot of principles he invented are in widely popular usage even today
