No offence to Ricky Nelson, but, his son's do a much better version of this. Nice harmonies and that catchy bass line that Ricky never had in his. It's a sweet old song. Easy to play too.
I think Frimmy was right. It was a metaphor for John.
Yoko follows ME on Twitter!
A few years ago she became my friend on MySpace and actually sent me a direct message once. I was floored. I felt like a was 2 degrees from John Lennon! I was on a high for days.
Gawd, the history for this song is intense. Kinda sad actually. I always loved Ricky. He was killed on NYE in Texas, when I was still living in Texas, 1986, still pregnant with my daughter. My husband is named for Ricky. I will lsiten to this when I am not at work. Those bys used to have the most beautiful flowing blonde hair. Ricky was so gorgeous. thax for this Pat. Rox
TVSnark: Yoko is the best. I love her too. So many hate her. I always say if John loved her, how is that a bad thing? She follows my daughter too. And sent her a Twitter msg before. Gawd, my daughter loves Yoko! She & Liz Taylor really are into the Twitter thing. My daugter follows both of them as well. They are 2 great ones.

Pat, Thank you for this. I always loved this song and what a wonderful, soothing and touching video.
The second time I watched it I had the lyrics on the screen so I could sing along.
My favorite line:
Yoko brought her walrus, there was magic in the air
I loved this! I think Ricky was so handsome, always did think so. Those boys are really, really good. Thanks for sharing this!
Did Yoko really buy a walrus or was that a metaphor?? I love Yoko.
Nothing like the harmony siblings can achieve. They did a really good job. Thank you
I thought Yoko bring her walrus refered to John Lennon cuz he wrote "I am the Walrus"
ugh bringing*
sounds pretty. :)

I smiled, I cried, I remembered old times, I cried some more and I smiled again!
Thanks for the memories!

I'm jealous. I love Yoko's art.
I'm only 30 but I've had a crush on Rick Nelson for as long as I can remember. My God he was beautiful. Thanks for posting this!
