As much as I personally HATE the song "Imagine," I can't see the media creating controversy out of it. The song actually seems to be pretty universally beloved, and Blake Lewis sang the song last year (including the first verse) and there was no controversy. I think the greater danger is alienating some potential fans, that might not hurt you when it's still ten people, but when it gets down to you and one or two other people, my not voting for you is pretty significant. On the other hand, I think the end of the song is better than the first because that's where the song has somewhere to go, and it's quite possible David wasn't giving the first verse any consideration at all.
