John Lennon grew furious and stormed out of radio station after hearing Beatles parody song

The late singer, who was assassinated in New York City in 1980, became furious during a guest appearance with his wife, Yoko Ono, and left the room as he didn't see the humor in the music track. The song that infuriated Lennon was Magical Misery Tour - it was written by comedians Tony Hendra and Michael O'Donoghue and was part of Radio Dinner, the very first album release by magazine National Lampoon, which came out in 1972, just years after The Beatles broke up.

The track satirized Lennon, using inspiration from an interview he gave to Rolling Stone in 1970, and didn't paint the singer in a positive light, featuring swearing from him and also the proclamation that he was a genius. But making fun of Lennon's voice, Hendra delivered lines such as "I resent performing for you f-----s tell me what do you know?" and "I don't owe you f-----s anything, and all I got to say is f--k you, the sky."
