Rattle your jewelry

The best quote, by John Lennon...

[@ProducShuns]

mocks the queen gets away with it cause he's a beatle

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

gets a medal, btw ;)

[@vorosbence]

He got assassinated. Never underestimate the queen.

[@lachlanbonsack8287]

Are you sure about that he did get shot 😳 rip John

[@andrewwilliams8187]

That was the queen mother

[@tobiaspellondou5907]

No Biggie just queen mother

[@Lola-en6yu]

his face before he said it lmaoooo

[@Alex-cb1id]

After saying those words, with that face John seems to think "Ops here ther's also the queen, maybe I exaggerated"

[@CamduBomb]

Only John could come up with something like that.

[@SunTeleLeo]

+Candela Mattera and face the Queen

[@piedrosanchez8870]

only John among the Beatles and among all rockers, blues-rockers, punks, etc 👍👍

[@Lmusik00futL]

John was so important that he could do that joke with no problem of being attacked or hated

[@atticuswilson8816]

He was literally killed for his remarks abt Jesus

[@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13]

He didn't get away with it when he said he was bigger than Jesus and America wanted to lynch him and they probably would have if they had the chance..

@@atticuswilson8816that’s a hard truth but yeah, it’s true

[@businesswalks8301]

@@DEV46546 lol that's not a hard truth at all. everyone was getting murdered in those times. it certainly wasn't because of comments about Jesus, but his overall line of inquiry and actions taken during a time of major change and transformation for society.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

@@atticuswilson8816 Another waste of the word "literally". The psychopath who shot JL to death didn't care at all about L's Jesus comments, he just wanted to kill his idol.

John's face is great

Even the queen mother liked the joke. John's more than a person (:

Trollin the queen=pure Lennon

[@markmullins132]

It was The Queen Mother

[@cosmowhiskey9083]

[@vithovenstyle]

classic quote, definitely on my favorites ;)

[@MCO18]

I’m sure the people in the cheaper seats were very amused by this joke, and clearly more so.

[@SunTeleLeo]

this is more than classic

[@flavortown6280]

0:10 look at that conniving face

[@tomitstube]

england was a very classist society when the 1960's erupted, it's has a lot to do with the beatles upbringing and working class character.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... it* has a lot to do ...

[@joshjwillway1545]

Was?

[@Sportster20042001]

this was they're 1st performance for the royal's, and, u have no idea how rough a life Lennon had, growing-up, in that shit-hole of Liverpool, so, it was a a one-two punch for Lennon, acknowledging where he came-from, and, showing the rich that he had made-it big.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

... their* first performance for the royals* (...) had made *it big.

[@BrownEyedHighGirL]

I feel so sorry for these 'wanna-b-bad-ass' musicians(???) of today. They try soooo hard.

[@asloii_1749]

Like who?

[@antonio1972lopez]

I remember Chevelle trying to use the saying at an awards show....then the sound of crickets and "oh whatever".....LOL

[@terminallumbago6465]

A joke is never as funny after the first time

[@adrinathegreat3095]

John wanted to say rattle your fucking jewellery, because he knew it was going out live and would be more impactful, but Paul convinced him otherwise, saying it may cause more trouble than it was worth. John was double annoyed at having to do this show because it had been booked and money had been paid 6 months prior to the performance, shortly after their second hit made the top 5. By the time of this performance from me to you had been released and spent 7wks at no. 1 and thier mega hit she loves you was becoming the biggest selling UK single ever. So they were playing for a tenth of what they'd usually get

[@krimhi]

Gran frase maestro Lennon

[@lorrainekaiyas1800]

✌👓 The comment can be taken as cheeky, which was pretty much John's nature. But the fact remains each Beatle was given the M.B.E. So I guess her majesties a pretty nice girl when it comes to the Beatles.

[@BigSky1]

Lorraine Kaiyas Although John returned his in ‘69

Just discovered the venue. Nov. 4, 1963 at London's Prince of Wales Theatre for the Royal Variety Performance, with the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret. Cheers

The people in the cheaper seats, clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you'd just rattle your jewelry."

Yes, that's exactly what he says in this video. What's your point?!

[@bruce89tw]

@@einundsiebenziger5488 I am an English learner and also love the Beatles. But I cannot understand this joke. Could you explain this? Thanks

This is punk!! 13 years before someone came up with the name!!!

[@stupidnicks]

"sends it back"

[@shaneturner500]

@Rafaperches that show was the royal variety show. at that time, jokes like that were kinda rude. what makes it funny is that 95% of that theater was either filthy rich or was part of the royal family. imagine if you were in a band in concert surrounded with billionaires. would you say that to them?

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

Legend. FUCKIN LEGEND! :D

[@arouska]

@Rafaperches He was playing for the queen

[@nitrogasser383]

@Rafaperches because the people that were just clapping there hands were suppose to be poor and the ones with the jewelry are are suppose to be rich.

This is video is a lot better because it uploaded by Greek guy like me and it really surprised me when I saw the subtitles

[@freelancer9955]

) thank You. Somebody feared such way of 'investment' through whole time span. And, has learned how to invest properly. But, 'quit police department to have a steady job.' Though, the recent events in that country is somewhat wrong. They need to find it and to put in right place. I can't imagine who did that wrongdoing. Sincerely Yours

This is why I think John would have been a Trump supporter, Because Trump is anti establishment and in the 60's there was no person more anti establishment than John Lennon

[@theRatPackwasthebest]

Lol

[@ricardo_miguel13]

Trump anti establishment? Hahah good joke

[@ooops372]

For John, Trump would rather have been the robber and arch capitalist he is.

[@Telmalex]

Trump is not anti-establishnent, Trump is pro his own pocket, nothing else. Lennon would have hate Trump, as an intelligent man he was.

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

You're insane. JL was a down-to-earth, genuinely friendly person. DT is a sociopath who shits on everyone who has to work to make a living and is only friends with people as long as they're of use to him. JL would viciously hate DT.

[@Rafaperches]

I don't get it. Why is it so funny? '-'
