Ten Interesting Facts About The Beatles Happiness Is A Warm Gun

- čas přidán 15. 06. 2024
- The Beatles Happiness Is A Warm Gun is not only considered one of the best stand out vocal performances of John Lennons career but also heralded as Paul Mccartney's favorite song on the white album. Created and recorded amidst the darkest epoch of the Beatles as they near disbanding Happiness is a warm gun is a collection of 4 distantly unique sequences that brought back the fab four into actually collaboration. Camaraderie was waining, tensions were mounted, and the end war near. But during the white album there existed a handful of moments in which the band was back together, with every single member commenting how much they thoroughly enjoyed the song and its creation in the studio.

She's not a pup who misses much
Do do do do do do, woof woof
She's well-acquainted with the touch of the velvet leash
Like a kitten on a window pane
The man in the crowd with the multicolored treats
at the old dog park
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
given scrithes
A soap impression of his chow which he pet
And discovered at the National pound
I need a scritch cause I'm going down
Down to the pit bulls I left uptown
I need a scritch 'cause I'm going down
Labrador Retriever jumped the pup
Labrador Retriever jumped the pup

Labrador Retriever jumped the pup
Happiness is a warm pup (boop boop snoot snoot)
Happiness is a warm pup, momma (boop boop snoot snoot)
When I hold you in my paws (ooh, oh, yeah)
And I feel your scritchers on my tummy (ooh, oh, yeah)
I know nobody can do me no harm (ooh, oh, yeah)
Because
Happiness is a warm pup (boop boop snoot snoot)
Happiness is a warm pup, momma (boop boop snoot snoot)
Well, don't you know that happiness is a warm pup momma?
Happiness is a warm, yes it is, PUUUUUUUPPPP
OWOW OWOW ROWOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!
Furry?
For me John was the best making up lyrics and Paul with the music.
Check out our Beatles-inspired songs and tell us what you think!

And 12 years later "happines is a warm gun" an exalted madman shot John and killed him. Cruel irony of fate.
hi
@Jason Brown you're right double cruel irony of fate
After John was shot a local radio station played Beatles songs all day.....with the clear exception of happiness is a warm gun.
It wasn't funny
i think you mean with the exception of lucy in the sky
@@hyp539 I think the sad part is that you don't realize it wasn't supposed to be funny.
a strange part of me feels John mightve appreciated the irony of it...
Some people would argue that was his best beatle song,i think he would have been ok with it
"The man in the crowd with the multi-coloured mirrors on his hob-nail boots" was about some guy in Liverpool who had mirrors on the toes of his boots that he would use to look up women's skirts.
The days when women wore skirts
Unpaid Troll ??????? They still do ?????????
Thank you!
I remember when boys would sit at the bottom of a staircase to look up women's skirts..lol
my favorite line is about the soap impression I dont know the meaning but I imagine some man who lost his mind after a divorce, carving a soap impression of his lover because he cant stop thinking of her
”We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight."
...we’re almost there. In calif you can shit in public with impunity.
@@mobiditch6848 Fads always seem to start on the Left Coast and move their way east. So watch out, America. Californians may soon start screwing and crapping at the same time.
@@CBrolley I think there’s already a variation of that called a dirty sanchez.
Would you prefer a world where people have sex in public and the only time violence is practiced in daylight is in third world countries
@@fku952
Lennon's quote just seemed to be an interesting commentary on culture. We embrace violence but are ashamed of sex. We treat sex as if it's worse than violence, like it's a bad thing.
Gotta say I always loved George the most tho, he was the “silent beatle” and that’s what I loved about him. It was hard for awhile for me to go back and forth between John and paul bc their both so equally talented, but it came down to who George was as a person.
Been a fan 40+ years and still keep going back and forth between Paul and George. Expect your mind and artistic inclinations of the moment not to settle as well!
Yeah. I liked George because he produced a Monty Python film.
Yeah, this song was left on the album about heroin, while so many of those beautiful songs that appeared Harrison's on All Things Must Pass where left out. Imo, a song written and vetoed as not being a Beatles song in 66' would have fit this side even better, not to mention it was extreamly deep.... The Art of Dieing. Jmo
I lost it at “woof woof”
My 2nd favourite Beatles song, just behind *I Want You (She's So Heavy)* ... how about a fact video about that one? ;)
ay same
Cool, that's my favorite too!
Endlich jemand der i want you (she's so heavy) als seinen favoriten bezeichnet!!!
Check out “I Want You (She’s So Heavy) by Black Paint. It’s pretty sick
never met someone with the same top 2 beatles songs! i am in awe
This has to be the most underrated Beatles track. It’s just so good
Baltpit 243 nope, only underrated by people who just discovered it
It's not underrated ,it's just not popular...
All Beatles music is overrated if anything
Aaron Heaton I will agree people go out of their way to appreciate it more because their the Beatles.
@@Adam-ro8vj the beatles are one of my favorite bands but still.
This was a lot of stuff I didn't know about one of the Beatles' best songs. Thanks! Hearing how many takes it took reminds me of an interview George gave in the 70s when he was asked what made the Beatles so good. He replied "We worked harder than anyone else". And "Happiness ..." is proof of that.
AMEN
The song also shows John's interest in strange time signatures.
You pulled a McBeardy. Now all you have to do is sing Get Back. Or get a baby and put it on your leather coat.
❤
I'd love to see one of these videos on "I've got a feeling" such a raw beautiful song
Watch the Let it Be movie.
This is one of my all time favourite Beatles songs!!!!
Interesting facts, for sure. You missed one: Window pane, or windowpane, was a street name for acid in the 60s and 70s.
@Johnny Morphine No... It was liquid LSD formed into a thin gel, cured, then cut into tiny pieces. Here we had 4 way amber & brown windowpane. You could see through it (hence the name.) If you were brave enough & put one in your eye, it would dissolve in less than 2 minutes & you would sky rocket off to Mars instantly. It was the good shit. Trees would turn into cartoons, you'd feel yourself melt through walls, everything was alive etc. I did a lot of it & loved it!
What hippy said- they are translucent gel tabs, a form of conveyance for Uncle Cid. I can attest that windowpane was still readily available for dissolving on (someone who isn't you) tongues in 2004, as thats the last time I had the quixotic pleasure of seeing it in person(PA, USA). But being its just a vehicle, im sure that as we speak some trays of it are congealing somewhere in a town near you. Cheeahs
Maybe. But windowpane came into usage much later than '68. At least where I lived in Philadelphia.
By the 90's that was reduced to a printed pattern ;rather the the original gel type.
Wow, I had no idea Derek Taylor was so lyrically involved.
"A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust" 🤣
Me either. Who's Derek Taylor? I could Google, but...
he wasnt
This song is the best on the white album in my opinion 👌
One of their many masterpieces
I don’t know how you always manage to post when I need it the most but thank you
I don’t have any favorite moments I smile every time I watch any of your videos
John Lennon, Paul McCartney AND George Harrison....ALL GENIUS. 💛
@John Caulfield YES I AGREE...I will change my post now. Thank you John!!
Macca ❤
Probably one of George Martin’s greatest productions as well as one of the best Beatles songs. The man was splicing and pasting before the technology was even available!
Excited for the channel to reach 100K! So happy for you and the rest of the HollyHobs team!
Edit: Chris Thomas took over, my bad. Needless to say the talent of every person working with them did the final product justice
George Martin didn't produce thia one, Chris Thomas did
Justin Puga I knew he took over at some point, I took the chance of not checking, but thank you! My luck was against me lol
Splicing music or speech with 1/4 Inch tape, a White Chinagraph, and a razor blade is not all that difficult if you are organized and without distractions. You get into a sort of zone where all you can think about is the editing task at hand. Bits of tape held onto the tape machine (Usually a Tandberg machine for spoken word, or maybe an Otari MTR10 or a Studer A80 for music as they could hold NAB spools) with words like "Breath" or "Um", "Er" or stuff like "last 4 bars of take 1" or "Alternate ending" in White Chinagraph pencil were valuable tools to get it just right. I learned how to edit with tape but tape is sooooo expensive these days, that I don't bother with it.. and after re-learning on digital, I figure that it's made editing that much easier so any untrained kid can do it.
George Martin is aie John did most of the work read his letter to sir George and you'll see for yourself
what does george martin have to do with this song?!
Always look forward to your videos man! It’s always nice to find people who appreciate this incredible band as much as I do!! Great work 🤙🏻
I'd love to see a video about Across the Univers, and why such a beautiful song was never truly finished and properly recorded. Thanks, I enjoy your video very much.
Great suggestion!
There are so many different parts in this song! It’s so cool
Great Video !!! Appreciate all the research you put into this video & others. One of the most Powerful songs on the White Album - both lyrically & vocally !!! John at his Best !!!
Thank you so much HollyHobs, this instantly became my favourite Beatles song when I heard it, and this is now by default one of my favourite videos of yours!
After I watch these videos I immediately have to go listen to the full song at least once
My favorite Beatles song thank you !
There's just too many to choose from. They are like a Labyrinth with magic everywhere. They were and still are untouchable and we are gleefully overwhelmed in their wake. What a treasure, what a gift to last a lifetime and a really big shoutout for ''Hollyhobs'' for always painting a beautiful picture of their phenomena for each new generation to be amazed that this actually happened during the 60s. Thanks to everyone who admired The Beatles because their magic still brings so much happiness to those who just have a listen. The Beatles had it all and heaps more:)
WOAH IVE NEVER BEEN THIS EARLY, thank you for these videos, i enjoy them tons, it’s nice to see great content on the fab four💙✌🏼
"Happiness Is ... The HollyHobs unique take on my favorite band, THE BEATLES."
The HollyHobs is one of my favorite sources for informative and totally delightful info and trivia about all things BEATLES... I love this place, and I hope you never stop giving us all The Beatles as no one else can.
Lennon was some sort of a poet that could come up with a great melody on top of his words
Incredible vocals. Great song!
One of my favorites--both the song and your 'interesting facts' videos. Well done, again.
Loved it. You’re having more and more fun. The content is great in every way.
I love this song, probably my favorite of the White Album. Thank you for this video, you have an amazing channel!
Just discovered the channel and can’t get enough. Reminding me with each video why I love The Beatles.
I really enjoy your videos. I learn so much. And it gives me more appreciation for songs I’ve listened to my whole life.
One of my favorite Beatles songs! Thanks for the video!
I love hearing about the Beatles story. It is the love of their music. Also when they noticed how good each other were. And appreciated each others talent. So much talent cannot be tied down so it was only a matter time for a breakup. I only wish they had found time to get back for on more tune together.
I always start my day listening to this song. Makes me think more clear :) Great videos HollyHobs!
EXCELLENT!!!! So informative! One of your best!! Thank you so much!!
You are my favourite youtuber, hands down. Thanks for yet another interesting video! :-)
In terms of the 15 years I’ve enjoyed being a Beatles hyper-demi-mega-fan of The Beatles, there have only been 3 songs of there’s that I have never overplayed no matter how hard I’ve tried:
1. Happiness is a Warm Gun
2. I Am The Walrus
3. I’m Only Sleeping
One of my favourite channels, great video again!
When i heard the news that john Lennon was shot and killed I felt too numb to believe that is was really true that he was dead. I went to my radio in my bedroom and the station was playing all the Lennon solo and Beatle songs like all the other rock stations around the world. But when they played Happiness is a Warm Gun I snapped and smashed my fist into the radio and broke it I was so pissed off i cried for over an hour my brother his girlfriend and my father all came into my room to console me they understood what the Beatles and Lennon's music meant to me. So nobody got mad that i busted the radio they all understood and cried with me. And if my mother were alive then she hated John Lennon for his JESUS comments she would have cried too that night.
o my god, that literally made me cry.
i get exactly what you're talking about. Thank you for sharing :)
@@ingridfong-daley5899 Thank you for your comment yeah the emotion for me that night was so bad hurt me for years I could not listen to Beatles or Lennon music for like 2 years till i found some other Beatle people that got me through my funk and now really love to listen to the music all the time
I truly understand you because I love John Lennon since I was 6
Found out he was in Heaven about a year after I started loving him
Even though I know he is happy now, it really hurts that he isn’t with us anymore
Wish I would have met him but unfortunately I was born 7 years after God decided to take him with his angels
That makes it hurt even more
He was a beatiful person
My friends mother felt the same, after John comment about Jesus. It was around 67, and I mention the Beatles while visiting my friends. and I was ask not to talk about the Beatles, for exactly that reason. And it was years before I heard the exact recording of the interview, where I realized if she ( friends mother ) would have heard what he was pointing out to be true, I might have been able to speak of the Beatles again, at least in their house, but I was only 9 years old at the time, and she was very religious and catholic. and at the time it did seem like the kids were paying more attention to their music, than Jesus, and like he said he wasn't saying they were greater or better. The man is definitely a legend..
Your videos make my day! Thank you so much for this one!
I really appreciate this video. It’s my favorite song, thank you so much!
Damn I loved this! What a great clip and channel - I've watched a couple of your Beatles facts now. Thanks for all the tidbits and factoids about this tune!
Great information on one of John's best songs... What a genius. Your best episode so far. Thanks for the efucation
I'll never hear the song the same again. Always wondered about the words in this song because I knew John was a master word crafter. Wonderful video. Loved it.
you never miss on these videos man. love your channel
this deserves so much more views, I've been needing new Beatles videos
Man, I love this. Great job and channel!
This song finally starts making sense thanks to your great video.
12:28 I always thought it was Paul's voice! I love these insights.. Great video as always!
The "Carnival of Light" -parallel universe clip was amazing...I still think about it. Thanks for this great channel.
"Please Please Me" by talking about the unique way John and Paul often sang together in harmony rather than on the same key. Very huge aspect of their appeal to me.
Great vid, as always! Congrats on 💯❕❕❕
Love the vid! Peace and love!!
I love how there is so much more around the beatles, thanks you for making it easy to know all the lore
Excellent insights into this song. Loved this!!!
This is brilliant HollyHobs - thanks!
Great video as always!
Your original Yoko Ono video is still the one that sticks in my head the most, that's got to be in the clip show 👌
love ur channel bro, as some1 from liverpool we all basically grow up on the beatles its so cool seein some1 from across the sea with so much passion for them n their music keep it goin
Wow I usually don't like little known fact videos but your detail is very interesting and well done. I actually backed it up several times.
For the video compilation youd like to do, I love your "you should leave this unread". This is something special that applies to Beatles and hundreds of real life situations!
Love this channel! I also love the longer videos. Keep doing what you're doing and thanks
Great video about this song… Keep them coming!
This is my first video I have seen of your channel. I am a huge Beetles fan and I really enjoyed this. You have a new subscriber my friend. I am looking forward to watching some of the other stuff on your channel!
I love this. You are amazing. Keep it up. Beatles for ever.
Another great one! Thanks!! 💕💕
Please do glass onion.
That’s one of those songs that you just wish went on longer than it does. Great song.
Glass Onion was a deliberate attempt by John to mislead all the conspiracists who were looking for hidden meanings in the Beatles songs. Thus the reasons for references to previous Beatles songs. John was not a fan of the song calling it "a throwaway" John had done this previously on ' I am the Walrus' - "yellow matter custard" for instance was just a reference to a rhyme John and his mates used sing as children in Liverpool - as John said to his friend Pete Shotton - "let the f****ers work this one out" lol
I love your videos, they give me so much more knowledge on my favorite band. And my favorite video was your maxwells silver hammer, and my favorite song of yours is mr Mortimer.
Awww no one talks about Mr. Mortimer thank you so much!
Great video as usual! 😄
This channel is getting better and better...
This is my first ever comment on a CZcams video but I can’t help but thank you for your work. Even though The Beatles were falling apart towards the end, its stories like these that remind us that no matter what, when they were together and collaborating as one unit, they indeed were the greatest of all time! Thank you for all your hard work in keeping their majestic legacy alive ❤️
HIAWG is one of the few tracks that the Beatles used the Bartell Fretless Guitar. On the track Happiness is a Warm Gun, the characteristic timbre of a fretless guitar is unmistakable (0’:44”- 0’:58”). it was also on Helter Skelter and Savoy Truffle
wow this is amazing thanks for this!
I don’t mind your videos being too long! Others, likely. The info is worth the time. I’d be interested of how the band influenced each others’ writing as they evolved from “Lennon & McCartney” to Lennon, McCartney, Harrison. Songs such as Mr. Kite to Elenor Rigby or Strawberry Fields to Penny Lane. Love your vids and research/knowledge. Thanks!
Always my favourite Beatles song this. Love the harmonies
Congrats on almost 100k
Great stuff per usual!!
the pup part made my day! thank you
That was really great, many thanks :)
Can you do a 10 Interesting Facts about the Carnival of Light.
As much as I would love to hear the song, I feel it is best left unheard. Think about it, the majority of the song's intrigue is because it is unheard; if it is heard, it loses that.
1) The master reel should be pressed up.
2) Fitted w/ a sleeve of beautiful artwork; befitting the time it was created.
3) And exhibited in a museum, behind impenetrable glass, in perpetuity.
*This would be a lovely marriage between art & music; a marriage The Beatles have long adored
*The song is an experimental song
*The presentation would be experimental: "The unheard song."; like the bottle of wine not meant to drink.
It’s a crap song the remaining Beatles are embarrassed about. From all accounts it’s disjointed and leads no where. Yes, it’s Paul’s attempt to get into avant garde prior to John. I just feel it’s a huge build up to nothing. Would I love to hear it? Yes! But based off of everything I’ve read it’s not very worth while. Including said testimony from other Beatles. I agree it’s best left unheard. You do know at some point it will be released. I find it impressive that it hasn’t been released in some form by a bootlegger or someone with access to the master tapes. What more interesting to me is the bootlegs of the songs the Beatles gave away. Like A world without love, and early songs they gave away.
@@ledflaplin2001 they recorded Tip Of My Tongue as a full band and it might still be in the EMI vault.

Baz Daly that’s not the real Carnival Of Light!!! Come on man. It’s never been released!!
@@dalybaz fake
Just great! And interesting. Thank!
I really enjoyed the low-fi “something” and “Norwegian wood”. They really helped me cram for my exams.
i love all the stories about George and his song writing , i also would like to know what George's song Apple Scruffs is about.
The fans who hung outside EMI Studios were called Apple Scruffs.
Maybe my favorite Beatles song
loved john flipping his book right on "shoot" at 12:54
Where were you in the 70’s when I was ravenous for such Beatle detail ?
More crazily , KCRW is now playing Happiness !!! How is this possible ?
Brilliant video. Thanks. :)
Great vids, I enjoy them. I love your music too, good work 👍
Thanks for the history on this marvelous historic song.
Great job on this!
Thanks for the insights ! 😊
Great work! I d9nt know where to start on picking your best works. I'd like to think this one was the best.
Good job! Very well presented.
Faaaantastic presentation here, man!
Glad to see you highlighting the genius of John. His putting together of snippets from articles though, is not the implied plagiarism you hint at. Rather than the snippets, it's how they were put together into a potent and highly relevant song. It was John's innate genius. It's why John WAS the Beatles and the sole reason for their magnitude and impact upon the world.
