Proceeds from the commercially released single were donated to the John Lennon Greening of the World Scholarship Fund. Sean and Lenny rewrote the lyrics to reflect some of the issues facing the world in the 1990s, which is a great idea, but gives this version the same dated feeling of the original. Dated references to bagism, Hari Krishnas, and Alan Ginsberg are one thing but "gay spouse/acid house/HIV/AZT/New Kids dance on MTV" is another. The Sean Lennon single version of Give Peace a Chance entered Billboard's Hot 100 at number 54 for the the week ending March 9, 1991, while the original peaked at number 14 in 1969, at the height of the Vietnam War. The difference probably has less to do with the quality of the song and more about one-sided media coverage of the Gulf War and lack of attention given to protesters. Re-recording "Give Peace a Chance" was a great idea (and what John and Yoko first had in mind), but it is not as listenable as it was in 1991. The single included the Peace Choir, made up of the following: Amina, Adam Ant, Sebastian Bach, Bros, Felix Cavaliere, Terence Trent D'Arby, Flea, John Frusciante, Peter Gabriel, Kadeem Hardison, Ofra Haza, Joe Higgs, Bruce Hornsby, Lee Jaffe, Al Jarreau, Jazzie B, Davey Johnstone, Lenny Kravitz, Cyndi Lauper, Sean Ono Lennon, Little Richard, LL Cool J, MC Hammer, Michael McDonald, Duff McKagan, Alannah Myles, New Voices of Freedom, Randy Newman, Yoko Ono, Tom Petty, Iggy Pop, Q-Tip, Bonnie Raitt, Run, Dave Stewart, Teena Marie, Little Steven Van Zandt, Don Was, Wendy & Lisa, Ahmet Zappa, Dweezil Zappa, and Moon Zappa.
