Ono's video editing upsets an old enemy

Yoko Ono is not making fans of John Lennon very happy right now. She's been busy editing Lennon's videos and changing songwriting credits, reports Fox News. Call it her revenge on old enemies like Paul McCartney and May Pang.

Ono's weirdest piece of video trickery comes on the recently released DVD "Lennon Legend: The Very Best of John Lennon." On one film, for the classic song "9 Dream," Ono has edited herself into the original video. There you will find her mouthing the backup vocals that were sung on the original hit recording by Pang, Lennon's girlfriend at that time.

Pang, of course, was not thrilled to hear this had happened.

"She is trying to erase everyone who had anything to do with John with her alone," says Pang, who is a popular figure in the New York music scene. "I am definitely upset at her misleading everyone into thinking she is on '9 Dream.' "
