Apparently John's last demo, dating to November 14, 1980. The complete sequence of two full takes with a slip into 'Serve Yourself' is available from one of the last LLT episodes, but The Dakota Beatle Demos has here been used for the first take because of its (slight) superiority to the available transcription disc lift. The appearance of 'Serve Yourself' is interesting indeed, as it shows that John was evidently still considering it for eventual release. 'Real Love' perhaps excluded, it certainly was the song he put most work into during the 1979—80 period (and for which probably the largest amount of demos lurk in the Lennon archives from a relatively long time span), so it clearly wasn't a simple throw-away parody. Also making an appearance is a brief, taped over vocal rap "pop is the name of the game". It's odd that aside from guitar overdubs for 'Walking On Thin Ice' in early December, this would actually be Lennon's last musical (if it can be so termed) work laid on tape.
