Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test-tube
Ohh-oh-oh-oh…
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures
Joa-oa-oa-oan?"
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door…
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant sce-e-e-ene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so-o-o-oo…"
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
P.C. Thirty-One said "we caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures ohh-oh-oh-oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free (Maxwell must go free)
The judge does not agree and he tells them so-o-o-oo
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead

une autre pochette d album(voir seargent peppers) qui a fait beaucoup parler et même encore maintenant
Certainement une des chansons des Beatles que je préfère.
Pompée par Jean-Jacques Debout de façon plus que flagrante pour le titre "Comme Tintin" de Chantal Goya.
[correction :] [merci !]
"studied metaphysical" ---> "studied pataphysical"
La Coccinelle blanche de la pochette est aussi mondialement connue que celle de Disney.
La chanson "Maxwell's silver hammer" des Troglodytes Liverpuldiens a été adaptée en français par les S.T.P. sous le titre "Les gens d'aujourd'hui" et par Gérard Saint Paul sous le titre "Bang bang Maxwell".
La version allemande "Max, der Rittersmann" est chantée par les Volkers Lustiger Musikverein (Volker Rosin).
La version suédoise "Ring ring - här är svensktoppsjyryn" est chantée par les Hootennanny Singers.
La version finlandaise "Paulin taikakaulin" est interprétée par Popeda, par Jore Marjaranta et par Versa Marri-Loiri.
Parmi les reprises notons celle d'Anita Harris, celle des Good Ship Lollipop , celle de Jack Wild, celle des Bells, celle de Frankie Layne, celle de Steve Martin, celle de Mike Westbrook ou celle d'Ed Harlow.
Ou encore plagié par une chanson sur la base le titre s'appelle un petit oiseau mais je me rappelle plus de la chanteuse
C'est apocryphe, c'est gore, mais c'est un mise en image du titre assez remarquable
