What are the NINE John Lennon Songs???


What are the songs, I already know IMAGINE, NOBODY TOLD ME and BEAUTIFUL BOY but name the others...

Someone already posted this request but the subject, SOUNDTRACK, is a big vague. John Lennon fans, anyone, tell us the songs.

I wasn't keeping count but they also played:

Cold Turkey
Love
#9 Dream
Working Class Hero

I also remember hearing Hold On. That makes 8. What's the 9th?

Instant Karma

yeah his "love" is seriously one of the best songs ever. Can't listen to it w/out tearing up, it's that pure. Wanted it as my first wedding song but with 16 pc swing band, not exactly fitting.

And wouldn't you know, Love, happened to fit context of the movie as well (well if love trumps redemption or "life purpose" aspect, hard to say)

I had not noticed that there were nine songs, cool. I myself saw the movie in Theater Nine of a multiplex. I think Number Nine Dream was one of the songs. And how could you forget the pricelessly placed Cold Turkey? That was played when the shocked Ms. Bening entered the booze-bottle littered room where Danny, Judd, and Danny's ex are all recovering from a drug and alcohol binge from the night before. The last Lennon song, I think, is Instant Karma, also appropriately placed. I could name each Lennon song after three notes while watching the the movie. But I'm afraid my memory fails me at the moment as to the other three. But back to Instant Karma: I hope this film shines on and on after its release. People in the audience at my theater applauded at the end. I've only heard that for a movie once or twice.

In that case there must've been ten JL tunes in the movie. It also included his (near) duet with Elton John (...and his only solo #1 before his death):
Whatever Gets You Through The Night

Instant Karma was very prominent, but I wish they'd also played more of Nobody Told Me.
Dini

Yes. "Nobody Told Me"was a GREAT song.

R.I.P. Johnny.
(...can't you come out to play?)

Thank you for the "Beautiful Boy".
I knew the song but didn't know the name.
