"Mrs. Lennon" was Yoko Ono's single from her Fly album (1971). The song was also featured in the film Imagine (not to be confused with the documentary about John Lennon's life).
Allmusic critic Ned Raggett called the song "reflective," stating that it provides "as wry but heartfelt a portrait of her position in the public eye as any."Alex Chilton used the song's sad chord progression for part of his song "Holocaust."
The song (minus lyrics) was absorbed whole by Big Star on their third album, reworked as "Holocaust".
A cover version has been recorded by the band Donny Who Loved Bowling.
A music video was made for this song which was premiered on "The Dick Cavett Show" on 11 September 1971 when John Lennon and Yoko Ono were guests on the programme. (The video is introduced at approximately the 39:24 mark).
