This is to "Revolution" what Sgt. Pepper, the Beatles album, is to Sgt. Pepper, the Bee Gees movie. Compared to the power of the "singles" version, this song is downright namby-pamby, right down to John's oft-critiqued sentiment "Don't you know you can count me out...in." (John often said this yin-yang expression was because he thought he might actually be open to a revolution. Biased Listener says it's because he couldn't summon enough energy to sing the song right.) Despite some beefy horns and a blast of a guitar intro, this doesn't hold a candle to the "real" version.
