Photograph Smile
Photograph Smile is the fifth studio album by English singer-songwriter Julian Lennon, released in 1998, after a seven-year hiatus following his previous album, Help Yourself. A promotional sampler was released in 1999 in the US containing the tracks: "I Don't Wanna Know", "Day After Day" and "And She Cries".
The music video of "I Don't Wanna Know" features a parody band of the Beatles called the Butlers. The music video features the Butlers in a concert with many screaming fans. The concert takes place on a stage similar to the arrow stage from the Beatles' appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. There is also a box seat with the Queen and Prince, played by Julian Lennon. The first and third segments of the video are filmed in black and white.
