Maxwell's Silver Hammer (Remastered 2009) · The Beatles

[DallasBiff]

This is for all the Paul haters on FR, this was his worst song ever.

[Gay State Conservative]

Rubber Soul and Revolver....their best work.By far.

[EvilCapitalist]

This song makes me think of Paul Pelosi.

[Darksheare]

It once had a flash animation video for it as a cover version.

[Vaduz]

LOL

[Skepolitic]

Makes me think of Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine’s father. Totally psycho.

[plain talk]

I like the song. They took a throwaway joke song and filled it out with Paul’s incredible vocal and harmonies, tasty guitar work and even an early use of moog synthesizer. Every song on Abbey Road was stellar.

Their last recorded album and they went out on top. What an album and what a band.

[gymbeau]

An excitable boy, they all said.

[Adder]

Worst Beatles song evah!
Bang! Bang!

[DIRTYSECRET]

Come on. Majoring in medicine-man’s an adult, right? Teacher gets annoyed writing 50 times I must not be so-gotta be a kid. M I missing’ sumpin’?

stopped.
I’d say stupid things if it I made me rich. Name examples.

[SamAdams76]

I think Octopus’s Garden was even worse than this one.

[old-ager]

You have that so right.

[Dr. Sivana]

I think Octopus’s Garden was even worse than this one.

That's a Ringo song, not Paul.

John's Revolution #9 is MUCH worse than either.

[Adder]

At least R9 was artsy-concepty.
Great fodder for the Paul is dead” craze.

[Dr. Sivana]

At least R9 was artsy-concepty.

That is no excuse for something that purports to be "music". You know, melody, harmony, rhythm.

Octopus' Garden has all three, and a childish lyric. So does "Yellow Submarine". According to John, so does "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". And the Octopus' lyrics are more sophisticated still than "Wild Honey Pie" and "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?".

[Dr. Sivana]

And I agree with Don Draper on "Tomorrow Never Knows".

[Hardastarboard]

melody, harmony, rhythm

Did I hear someone mention "Sargent Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band"?

What a non-melodic, jerky, patched together piece of garbage.

[DallasBiff]

John's Revolution #9 is MUCH worse than either

That was filler for the "White Album", but thank you for reminding me of "Number 9, "Number 9", it will take a day and a half, to get that out of my head.

[bigbob]

Paul used this to prepare for the suckage that was to be known as Wings.

[Tired of Taxes]

A peppy tune about a psychopathic killer.

Another example is this one from 2010: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDTZ7iX4vTQ
