1972 single by Yoko Ono
"Move on Fast " is a song by
Yoko Ono , originally released in 1972 on the album
Approximately Infinite Universe , and on the B-side to the single "
Now or Never ".
[1] The song was later included on Ono's compilation album
Onobox .
[2]
Composition
In contrast to the folksy
Dylan -esque single "Now or Never" song that the song was originally released as a B-side to, "Move on Fast" is described by Yoko Ono as an "offbeat
pop/rock sound", which also draws from
bop ,
big band swing , and "razor-sharp feminist rock."
[3] Ben Urish and Ken Bielen described the song as "a straight-ahead rocker that hits the ground running and never lets up."
[4] They also praise
John Lennon 's guitar playing.
[4] John Lennon biographer Jon Wiener claimed that the song has a "furious rock beat."
[5] He described Ono's vocal as employing "a nervous, blank voice that qualifies as proto-
New Wave ."
[5]
Chart performance
The song became Yoko Ono's sixth consecutive number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart and her eighth number-one hit overall.
