Blackbird
Jon Lajoie Lyrics

Are we recording?
I wrote this song last night, and I'm not sure about some of the lyrics, but I'll give it a shot.

John's new girlfriend is a cunt
I don't know what he sees in that bitch
She'll ruin our lives
This bands gonna break up if that whore does not die
John's got to stop taking LSD
It's making him think she's a 10, really she's a 3.
What the fuck?
Looks like her face got ran over by a truck

Dump that bitch
Dump that bitch
And stop being a motherfucking dick

Ringo won't shut the fuck up
And George keeps writing stupid fucking songs
That's my job
I'm the musical genius, they can all just suck my nuts

Suck my nuts
Suck my nuts
And while you're down there, suck my cock

Fuck this shit, I've got a plan
Linda and I will start our own band
And call it Metallica
Metallica, yeah, that is a good name for a band

Metallica
Metallica
I'll have to run that name by Linda

Our new band Metallica is going to be super sick
If Linda ever dies, I'll marry a one-legged bitch




And then divorce her six years later
'Cause she was such a fucking bitch

Overall Meaning

The song "Blackbird" by Jon Lajoie is a humorous take on the life of the members of The Beatles, specifically focusing on their internal conflicts and issues. The lyrics start off with the singer expressing his disdain for John's new girlfriend, believing her to be a detriment to their band. The singer further insults her by calling her a "cunt" and a "whore." He advises John to dump her and stop being a "motherfucking dick."


The singer then moves on to criticize the rest of the band, particularly Ringo and George. He declares himself to be the "musical genius" and claims that they can all "suck my nuts." He decides to start a new band with his manager Linda and calls it Metallica, after which he starts to sing the name repeatedly. The song ends with a strange line about marrying a one-legged woman and subsequently divorcing her due to her being such a "fucking bitch."


Lajoie's song is not meant to be taken too seriously, and its purpose is to bring humor to the internal conflicts of the legendary band. He touches on issues that The Beatles may have faced, like conflicts between members, creative differences, and issues in their personal lives. Ultimately, the song is a satire, poking fun at the band and their history.

Unlike most comedic musical acts, Jon's songs are completely catchy and attractive on their own.
