Since you're a McCartney girl, you really should hear The Fool on the Hill. His voice is perfection and the background music is magical. One of my favs.

2025-12-29 12:13:10 +0000 UTCReportedly, John saw a magazine which had as a headline “Happiness Is A Warm Gun” shortly after the assassination of RFK Sr. Such cruel irony that just 12 years later John would be killed by a gun.

2025-12-29 12:11:55 +0000 UTCI always thought that “Band On The Run” by Paul McCartney (and Wings) used the same model as this song. A-the intro, up to “National Trust” B-“I need a fix…Mother Superior jump the gun” C-“Happiness is a warm gun…bang bang shoot shoot” doo-wop harmonies. Paul’s song is similar. A-“Stuck inside these four walls…” up to “Like you, mama, you”. B-“If I ever get out of here…if we ever get out of here” C-Appropriately, the song goes into that C key and we get the “Band On The Run”.

2025-12-28 05:15:04 +0000 UTCI've heard many people think that this is about heroin (which I can see why they think that), but I always thought it had strong sexual overtones.

2025-12-28 00:11:04 +0000 UTCThis song is written by John and is about his love and sexual lust for Yoko Ono. The whole song is really about sex. You can see it in text lines like: "She's well-acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand", "Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime", "A soap impression of his wife which he ate", "I need a fix 'cause I'm going down, down to the pits that I left uptown" "Mother Superior jumped the gun" "Happiness is a warm gun (bang, bang, shoot, shoot)" and "And I feel my finger on your trigger (ooh, oh, yeah)" 🙂

2025-12-27 21:20:48 +0000 UTCYou can never go wrong with the Beatles. But I want to introduce you to a new (for you) band. They would have been perfect for your Female Friday catalog. They are an all female group with some of the most talented girls you can imagine. The band is Band Maid, from Japan. They will blow your mind. They toured with the Warning a few years back and those shows must have been amazing. A few to pick from ( you can't really make a bad choice) Freedom, Domination, Warning (probably the hardest), .... There are many more. They sing mostly in Japanese, but it doesn't matter.

2025-12-27 20:35:54 +0000 UTCAlways thought the title of the tune references shooting heroin. My finger on your trigger. When I hold you in my arms. Happiness is a warm gun of shooting heroin? By the way this is one of my favorite Lennon penned tunes🔥🔥🙏

2025-12-27 20:11:06 +0000 UTCAs far as understanding lyrics, no worries there.. "Come together" was a whole bunch of gibberish lines. Toe-jam-football lyric in "Come Together" always bugged me, "toe jam" in common slang is... ah look it up..

2025-12-27 16:41:20 +0000 UTCAmber, if you can, please do a whole album reaction to the Beatles white album. This song is on it, but I really want you to listen to back in the USSR.
