John Lennon Google Video Doodle celebrates his 70th birthday

John Lennon Google Video Doodle celebrates his 70th birthday

It's an ode to John Lennon -- Google style. On his 70th birthday, Google doodle has a very special John Lennon video doodle with the famous Beatles song Imagine playing on Google's homepage logo. It is also, in our knowledge, the very first video Google doodle to replace Google's corporate logo on Google's homepage worldwide.

Just log on to Google.com and click on the play button to play a 32-second audio clip from John Lennon's Imagine song on today's Google doodle on Google's homepage.

The current video Google doodle celebrating John Lennon's 70th birthday is in sharp contrast to Google's own 12th birthday celebration doodle released late in September -- with a plain cake painting.

Google is known for replacing its corporate logo with Google doodles to celebrate important occasions. Google, for instance, had a fancy HTML5 Google doodle on the day prior to its launch of Google Instant. It also celebrated a spinning, interactive buckyball Google doodle to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Google also honored Pac-Man's 30th anniversary in style by hosting a playable Pac-Man game doodle in place of Google's corporate logo on its homepage.
