Шаблон:Infobox song "Give Me Something" is a song by Yoko Ono, originally released in 1980 on John Lennon and Ono's duet album Double Fantasy. The song appeared in Ono's off-Broadway musical New York Rock and her compilation albums Walking on Thin Ice and Onobox. In 2010, the Junior Boys remix of the song was released as a free download on MySpace Music and RCRD LBL.[1]

Background

"Give Me Something" was written by Yoko Ono and produced by Ono and Jack Douglas. Ono stated in an interview that "Give Me Something" was written as a "feeling that I had about society. [...] We’re all getting very cold now as a society."[1] Ono further explained the song's theme of coldness to Spinner: "I remember I was envisioning a gray, cold city with people walking with hands in their pockets and putting the collars of their coats up."[2]

Critical reception

Larry Fitzmaurice from Pitchfork Media described the original version as a "spiky new-wave tune featuring a particularly angry vocal performance," but commented that the Junior Boys "smooth out some of the tune's rougher edges, morphing Ono's cries into elastic bursts and turning the track into a Danceteria-worthy disco jam."[3]

Chart performance

The song became Yoko Ono's fourth consecutive number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club chart.[1]
