Bang bang shoot shoot

According to Lennon, the title came from the cover of a gun magazine that producer George Martin showed him: "I think he showed me a cover of a magazine that said 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun.' It was a gun magazine. I just thought it was a fantastic, insane thing to say. A warm gun means you just shot something. Like heroin into your arm."

Quote:

Written by Lennon, who got the idea from a gun magazine cover that read, "Happiness Is A Warm Gun In Your Hands," also Lennon's original song title. The song dealt with three themes. The first was Lennon's indignation of the American firearms lobby; the second was a sort of rock 'n' roll history; and the last was imagery that conveyed Lennon's sexual passion for Yoko.

I always thought it had something to do with his heroin addiction.

I think it's very sexual.

I'd say it's definitely more about yoko than heroin.

Never saw the heroin parallel, but it makes sense.

Gotta love that falsetto too. I always try to hit it along with John. :datass:

It's about heroin. It's off the white album where heroin really started to grab them by the balls. Any junkie knows, the song is about heroin.

"I NEED A FIX CAUSE IM GOING DOWN, DOWN TO THE PLACE THAT I LEFT UPTOWN, I NEED A FIX CAUSE IM DOING DOWN"

...Couldn't get much more blatant than that.

Could just as easily be talking about a sexual fix. :shrug:

Truth is, lennon's the only one who really knows.
