Happiness Is A Warm Gun Knowledge Base
Noticed deep voice in 'Happiness is a warm gun' by the Beatles? In the part where he sings 'Happines, is a warm gun' and background vocals go 'bangbang shootshoot' there is a very low voice and I believe at different times it says happiness and warm. It sounds like the voice is singing the song but it is too low and quiet to be heard over the drums. Btw it's in between 'Happiness' and 'is a warm gun' do you hear it?
How many released versions of "Happiness is a Warm Gun" are there? I'm writing a paper on the song (Man, I love being a music major) and we have to talk about all of the different versions that were released. I can only find the version released on the Anthology and the one from the White album. Other than the covers (from the "Across the Universe" movie and by other bands), were there any other versions of this song released by the Beatles that any of you know about?
Beatles song similar to Happiness is a Warm Gun? I'm having a hard time remembering this song. It was definitely by the Beatles, and for some reason, it reminds me of Happiness is a Warm Gun. I think it had that same sort of guitar melody. It was one their later songs I believe. It's not Helter Skelter... any ideas?
What is the meaning behind the song "Happiness Is A Warm Gun"? The Beatles song. This song is amazing, but I can't quite figure the meaning. I read that it was a metaphor for sex and/or drugs, but also that John Lennon saw it as a sort of "history of rock n roll" song. My personal opinion is that it is a mix of all those things and more. To me it's a song that's basically saying "f*ck it, let it all go". What do you think?
Song meaning of Happiness is a Warm Gun by the Beatles? i've looked at a bagillian song meaning websites and they all sucked.

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand Like a lizard on a window pane The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors On his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy Working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the National Trust I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Down to the bits that I left uptown I need a fix cause I'm going down Mother Superior jumped the gun Mother Superior jumped the gun Mother Superior jumped the gun Mother Superior jumped the gun Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun, momma When I hold you in my arms And I feel my finger on your trigger I know nobody can do me no harm Because happiness is a warm gun, momma Happiness is a warm gun

Whats the deal with the song "happiness is a warm gun?"? im not asking about the meaning of the song because theres about a million different interpretations. but im wondering...why did the beatles write it when they all, especially john lennon, were advocates for peace and would therefore be against gun usage? i love the song and i love them but it seems like a paradox to me. im probably missing something, so if anyone else has any insight to this id really appreciate it. thanks!
"Happiness is a Warm Gun" -- I've discovered the meaning, what do you think? "Kill them with Happiness", is what I chose to live by. It's human nature to find joy in seeing people fail, don't deny it, you do a happy dance inside! Especially those we despise. People often let despair drag them down, but it should be the opposite. What if you killed all those with your happiness? (that is the warm gun), the happiest people are the strongest, so if you want to "kill" your enemy, put a smile on your face because that will do the most damage to them is not your failure but it is succeeding! You will also learn the importance of always being happy, that their is no other alternative, so thanks to The Beatles - I've been awakened to a new meaning of the song. What do you think? Am I way off? Or do you agree with my assertion? I know it refers to drugs, but this is the angle I chose to look it as, my happiness "kills" people who are waiting for me to fail, but even if i do, I'm inevitably succeeding because I am not drowning in my own pity and despair. I am strengthening my character while they wallow in their own arrogance.
"Happiness is a Warm Gun" (The Beatles) what does this song mean to you? okay, so in my opinion, i interpret this song to be about sex, based on the lyrics and symbolism in it, but i don't think thats what the beatles/lennon was intending on making it about... so, what did the beatles actually intend for it to mean?? i think its about sex cuz, "she's well aquainted with the touch of the velvet hand", "and i put my finger on your trigger", "bang bang shoot shoot", "happiness is a WARM gun", "lying with his eyes while his hands are busy working overtime" but, maybe im just dirty minded...and then of course, 'i need a fix cuz im going down" is obviously referring to drugs.. does anyone else see what i see in it??
Who is it singing the second verse of The Beatles, "Happiness is a Warm Gun"?? JOHN OR PAUL??? I know John wrote it and definately is him singing the 1st verse and " I need a fix" part. But the second verse when i think Paul comes on singing " Happiness is a Warm Gun mama" and " When I hold you, in my arms" part sounds so much like Paul. I have heard otherwise though that it is John Lennon singing the whole song. I just dont think John could sing that well and high. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHO IT IS.

Happiness is? beatles said happiness is a warm gun... what is happiness to you?
Would you assign a 14 year old student this project? Make a film that goes to the song "Happiness is a Warm Gun" By: The Beatles. The film HAS to have, sexy, nurses, "womenly shapes", syringes, beds & pills. I just got that assignment... haha I still can't believe it!
What does "touch of the velvet hand" mean? As in "She touches everything with a velvet glove" and such. It's not just John Lennon being crazy John Lennon. (And the song was not about sex or drugs. Lennon thought it was a nifty idea to write a song about happiness being a warm gun, because, "A warm gun, that means it's just been shot!" I just don't know what the velvet hand part means.
What is your favorite Beatles song? Who is your favorite member? and why? My favorite song(s) are Revolution 1, I Will, Ob la Di Ob la Da, Rocky Racoon, Happiness is a Warm Gun. Almost anything from The White album. My favorite member is John Lennon. He has been my idol since i was 5 years old. (im 14 now) He is everything i look up to and more, and not just musically. My favorite song from when he went solo is "Imagine" that is and forever will be my all time favorite song. What about you? ps- if you dont like the beatles, go the fu.ck away. alsp-if you think everyone needs to move on from the beatles and they are over, please shut up, they were way beyond their time when it comes to music and they will probably be popular for another 40 years. i can remember being 9 years old with my head as close to my CD player as possible, listening to the beatles. when i was 5 id listen to Lennons '9# Dream' ive never really found somebody my age that looks up to the beatles with complete admiration- as i do. i know i would give ANYTHING to have been a 15 year old girl when the beatles hit it big. I plan on getting Lennon tattooed (tastefully, of course) on my shoulder blade when i come of age. R.I.P. John& George!
Poem I just wrote, what do you all think? What do interpret from it? Criticism welcome.? I found God, in between the hole in the fence and the rusted hot overgrown yard of public financing. I stole some laws to keep myself warm, and they did, I smoked my way into Heaven-lined Hell, and it was, I was put away for neglect to property and home, and I howled my way into the legal offices chanting “Ommm” in bearded defiance. I cast bets at the racetrack praying for a buck and I lost big, walked up misty fogged hills passing houses of Victorian make, whilst young bohemians were painting the Void's eyelash on their own garage of artistic explosions, and cast back my head to the wind so that my prayers might actually be heard by the Host. I picked sunflowers and placed them in the sun, I prayed to Christ in the Mosque much to some annoyance but was accepted, but when I recited the Koran in Church that Sunday I was asked to leave. I thrive on hypocrisy, and so I found God. Worked in the fields next to Immigration, and loved it, found the mountainous sights enjoyable in my vodka mug and decided to find my ways in the dark, naked, sat next to the head of Buddha and laughed and whispered jokes in the golden morning haze, told stories to the eager young faces of America’s finest bright minds and loved every moment of it. I dropped everything to see the world but was in the end, Lost in a daze, I searched on my knees for the bearded flask from which to drink my wine, And so I left the long-haired woman where she stood, I found that life is too lost in unhappy minute moments And there and then decided to breathe in the mountain city air And to puff on happiness’ warm gun Lying on my back to the sun that filtered through my garden’s windowsill And eat chewy candy from India and Europe to delight myself. And I walked to the marketplace in total silence Choosing nutritious snacks to chew on whilst I inhaled narcotic Servitude, Worshipped in the cool lush rock n’ roll halls stoned, and wept At conformity, Listened to the president’s speech on terror and laughed at fear of the invisible, While changing the channel To witness the 4,201st death on the list in Iraq and curse the ignorant. Perhaps this world is flawed, Actually one could prove it to be true, But I’m tired of missing life, and, I think, So are you.
Name the artist and song and if you can album? She's not a girl who misses much Do do do do do do do do She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand Like a lizard on a window pane. The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors On his hobnail boots Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy Working overtime A soap impression of his wife which he ate And donated to the Nation Trust. I need a fix 'cause I'm going down Down to the bits that I left uptown I need a fix cause I'm going down Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun Mother Superior jump the gun. Happiness is a warm gun Happiness is a warm gun When I hold you in my arms And I feel my finger on your trigger I know no one can do me no harm Because happiness is a warm gun -Yes it is. Yeah you got it. I will chose you as best answer when I can. Do you like the Beatles?
What Beatles song do you NEVER hear another guitar player play? Which Beatles song that you like, but which you've never heard performed by a solo artist? I'm not talking like "Revolution #9". For instance, I really love the song "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" but I've never heard anyone attempt it either. How about you? EDIT : Happiness has a short guitar lead during the "I need a hit 'cause I'm going down, down to the bits that I left uptown" part...
List of more mellow Beatles songs? I know I'm a retard, but I just discovered the Beatles recently. haha I prefer their slower, more mellow songs like Something, Happiness Is a Warm Gun, Girl, Here Comes The Sun, ect. Any other suggestions of songs I might like, besides the ones that were featured on the movie Across the Universe?
I am becoming a translator for the japanese language and had some fun questions to ask!? how do you say "Nothing is real" "I wanna hold your hand" "Nothing's gonna change my world" "Happiness is a warm gun" "Mother Superior jump the gun" all in japanese? as you can see these lines are from the beatles lyrics see the thing that keeps me remember things in japanese is when i listen to music but think of it how they would say it in japanese its just one of the many fun ways that help me study and remember things arigato!!!!
