#13: Happy Xmas (War is Over) by John Lennon and Yoko Ono (1971)

Written in 1971 by John Lennon

It would appear that John Lennon originally wrote Happy Xmas (War is Over) as an anti-Vietnam song; however, with over 50 artists (including the brilliant Jessica Simpson) covering this song for Christmas albums one would wonder if it is still thought of as an anti-war song??

John and Yoko's song is played extensively on the radio at Christmas time therefore, I am led to believe the masses consider it to be a Christmas song...and I am definitely a lamb so that is why it is my #13.

*This song should never have been covered, especially by Jessica Simpson and Celine Dion
