I don't really understand all the negative comments. Yes the Beatles are a Classic. Yes Steve Martin's singing is atrocious. It's SUPPOSED to be. It's rather obviously an affectionate parody. The Beatles are famous, but, they're still just people. No need to get all bent out of shape.
i dont care what anyone says steve martin did this better than the beatles at least he put inthusaim into it rather than the miserable bland beatles who sing like they just came form a funeral
@LittleMissBrendy You must be very young lol This is Steve Martian from the movie "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" starring Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees in 1978
@LittleMissBrendy I won't argue with you there! Steve Martin does go way over the top with weirdness the way he sings it. I'm a huge Beatles fan & have been since I was a little kid. As far as I'm concened they are the best band that ever existed & no group or person will ever be as great as they were.
One of the worst movies ever made. A major insult to the Beatles and an incredible waste of time, talent, and money. Maybe a couple of the movie segments (better done, though) might have been funny as short sketches on MAD TV or Saturday Night Live, but that's about it.
@danning1 when I first got into the Beatles in the mid '80s I went to our library and requested the Sgt Pepper album (the vinal record). What I got instead was the soundtrack record to this horrid film but was too young and naive to know at first. I was wondering why the songs didn't sound like my dads version of Sgt Pepper and why the album cover art wasn't the same.
I'll just say there are a couple good covers in this movie such as Peter Frampton's cover of The Long and Winding Road and Aerosmith's cover of Come Together but this is the worst cover of them all!!!!
okay, Lady Gaga and Justin bieber are NOT super Talented. If you grew up in the 80s, 70s 60's 50's or 40's. Then you have lived in a Talented Music Era. In the 90's Music Streamlined and died off, today's Music is pathetic and boring and has no real sense of what it is trying to be. Bring Back the Classics and Throw this New Age Garbage away!

@BCMP92929 Wow get off your high horse, the people who like current pop also like the doors and all that, you're not better for liking classic rock because it's still very popular. And by the way, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga just to name two, are super talented.
@BCMP92929 Please stop acting as though modern music is the top 40 pop charts. There are still plenty of great bands. It's your own fault if you can't be bothered looking for them.
All of the bands on the right are good, and most of the artists/bands on the left are bad, but don't include Lady Gaga along with Justin Bieber and *gag* Taylor Swift. Lady Gaga's music is actually good. I agree that a lot of today's music is crap, but so is the music of most eras. It's just a few good bands from each era that get remembered; the crap from each generation gets forgotten. Don't automatically class music as bad just because it isn't old.
LOL at people taking Beatles music this seriously. Recognize that this song isn't the only one butchered in this movie, it's an overall terrible film but I can't help but love it.
a small note, Im sure Steve didnt mean2butcher the song quite he way that he did, u see this is part of a movie where each of the sub villains r introduced as this or that, he was playing the part of some crazy doctor so hes trying2 convey getting a perverted kick out of doing what he is in the scene AND singing a upbeat happy song about a med student that murders his gf teacher + judge. Plz pardon Martin, he is a wonderfully funny man, he was only trying 2do the best with what he was given
@Burromovie someone somewhere on the web claimed that John Lennon saw this on a plane as the in-flight movie and said "it was hell on earth" to sit through. I've never heard that story before from anywhere else but I believe it. Paul was allegedly asked to play Sgt Pepper but turned it down so they gave it to Billy Preston.
@Betspanker If you would think before you typed... You would know this was made in the late 70's John Lennon was alive when they made this... John Lennon died in 1981... This was a broadway film... Most of the people who made this had beatles connections... Newyork times said it was The Gone of the Wind of its gen...
@ShroomMasta I was referring to the video, not the film. I highly doubt the video was uploaded when John was alive. I haven't seen the film, so i don't know if it is "The Gone {WITH} the Wind of its gen" but i do know that this video makes it out to be terrible.
Steve Martin and The Beatles are the Best at what they do, but this song/movie woke me up one night, and I did think it was kind of catchy, but my god this scene is so dam cheesy. I could not believe I continued to watch it. WEIRD.
I usually am in favor of using acid or mushrooms; but man, some visions should
be kept to whoever had 'em. I don't need this haunting my dreams. And yet, it will. Thank you once again, Life, for taking a great thing (the song) and fu*&ing it in the arse.
Ok, ìm almost sure that something here is VERY wrong. Someone can tell me WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT? John and George are crying in Heaver (or hell, I don´t know yet) .
the reason why its bad is because he is supposed to be crazy and the movie is understandable and im 13 and i understand it why doesnt everyone else????
@trumpetmaster5505 You have to watch the whole movie.... Its just a skit the guy is passed out or something and this is what is going on in his head .... I like it personally ... have to remember its the late 70's too
@ShroomMasta yea, everyone hates this but i think the movie and this scene is great, its interesting...i just think ppl are dumbed down nowadays and dont understand it really, thanks for showing me a glimmer of intelligence in this shoddy generation
u ppl are so immature, u just understand the song, the movie, or his brilliance in this scene, ur probably the ppl who thnk twilight is well written directed and shot, its a shame tht cuz of ppl like u we wont see anymore great movies like this
"Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was a terrible movie, as was "Twilight" and (on an unrelated note) "The Ugly Truth" (just saying).
But at least Twilight is cheesier and shorter.
The brilliance of this scene? Explain to me the brilliance of a man using a hammer to turn people into Boy Scouts that love to do jumping jacks! It's a FUNNY scene (and a tad creepy), but it most definitely is not BRILLIANT. Have you ever even actually seen the whole film?
This makes no sense at all..... It made me hate Steve Martin even more than i already did.. and for those who say "if you don't like it fuck off".. then don't worry... im already leaving this incredibly sucky video.. please do not make me return to it
@lennon508 Oh, I bet Paul and his kids laughed their asses off when they saw this. Steve Martin is a comedian, not a singer. Incidentally, Ringo hated this song; said Paul was always coming up with "fruity" songs like this one. The funny thing is, the subject matter sounds more like John and his macabre side but I guess by then the two of them were saying "eat shit and die" in place "of goodmorning/evening" so it's unlikely they were collaborating again.
If you really know your Beatles history... you would know that they originally wanted the Beatles for this movie... but they could not get them back together... so that is why there are so many famous celebs in the whole movie doing little bits like this
I'm not quite sure that even The Beatles themselves could've saved this film (unless they were allowed to talk, that is. Then their surely witty ad-libs could've helped make the film a bit more bearable.)
Strangely enough, though, they were able to get George Matin and Geoff Emerick for the production of the music...
i wonder if they realized it was so suppose to be bang bang maxwells silver hammer came down upon her/his head clang clang maxwells silver hammer made sure that she/he was dead
Just finished watching the movie. It makes SOME sense in context, but very little. Apparently, Maxwell's an EVIL plastic surgeon...y'know what? I'm not even going to explain it, because it's stupid to begin with. You never see him in the movie again after this part.
I do love that narm-ful scream he does at the end of the song there, though.
John Lehman? What the hell? No, that's /Tom Lehrer/. And actually, McCartney revealed in an interview that 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' is a metaphor for the things in life that come out of nowhere and make things quite miserable.
WoW, What the fuck did I just watch? It was complete garbage. If they wanted to do a proper send up to this song, it should have been a narrator singing as the events depicted in the song play out, then connect near the end. Steve martin is usually funny and over the top, but jesus this is too much. Either way this song was written as a tribute to comedy singer John Lehman who wrote songs like "Poisoning Pigeons in the park"
I can sorta understand why I have never seen this as an adult, and why I had nightmares about this movie after seeing it the theater as a small child...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
what is this TIT SHIT FUK BALLS WRINKLE TITS.......GAWD I FEEL SORRY FOR PUAL AND JOHN.......my condolences.........FUK......STEVE JUST TOUCHED THE DEVILS TITS ON THIS ONE
"Sometimes Paul would make us do these really fruity songs. I mean, my god, 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' was so fruity.(...)But Paul's really writing for a 14-year-old audience now anyhow."
I get it. A George Harrison quote. And I couldn't agree more. It is nice to know that the other Beatles also thought this song sucked. And by "this song" I mean the original. Not everything they did turned to gold.
you have to have a dark scense of humor to appreciate this demented little ditty. i think it's cute, funny, and totally twisted. can't get enough of it...not this version the original

Steve Martin, you were GREAT singing "dentist" as the dentist in the movie version of LSOH...
But I can't even begin to describe how awful this is... your singing here, the song's treatment, the whole concept...

@lennon508 Oh, I bet Paul and his kids laughed their asses off when they saw this. Steve Martin is a comedian, not a singer. Incidentally, Ringo hated this song; said Paul was always coming up with "fruity" songs like this one. The funny thing is, the subject matter sounds more like John and his macabre side but I guess by then the two of them were saying "eat shit and die" in place "of goodmorning/evening" so it's unlikely they were collaborating again.

If you really know your Beatles history... you would know that they originally wanted the Beatles for this movie... but they could not get them back together... so that is why there are so many famous celebs in the whole movie doing little bits like this

I'm not quite sure that even The Beatles themselves could've saved this film (unless they were allowed to talk, that is. Then their surely witty ad-libs could've helped make the film a bit more bearable.)
Strangely enough, though, they were able to get George Matin and Geoff Emerick for the production of the music...

Apparently, Maxwell's Silver Hammer transforms people into Boy Scouts who love to do calisthenics (sp?).

I really need to watch this movie to get some context...though somehow I suspect it won't help much.
Hey, at least we've got wild-and-ccrazy Steve Martin, right? If there's anyone who can pull off a hammer-crazy psycho, it's him.
I like this rendition of the song, if for no other reason than that it makes me wonder where Steve left his meds the day of filming this scene.
TackyRackyComixNEO 2 years ago
Just finished watching the movie. It makes SOME sense in context, but very little. Apparently, Maxwell's an EVIL plastic surgeon...y'know what? I'm not even going to explain it, because it's stupid to begin with. You never see him in the movie again after this part.
I do love that narm-ful scream he does at the end of the song there, though.

John Lehman? What the hell? No, that's /Tom Lehrer/. And actually, McCartney revealed in an interview that 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' is a metaphor for the things in life that come out of nowhere and make things quite miserable.

WoW, What the fuck did I just watch? It was complete garbage. If they wanted to do a proper send up to this song, it should have been a narrator singing as the events depicted in the song play out, then connect near the end. Steve martin is usually funny and over the top, but jesus this is too much. Either way this song was written as a tribute to comedy singer John Lehman who wrote songs like "Poisoning Pigeons in the park"

Especially if you know how hilarious Steve Martin can be, this is just nothing. Not funny, not original, just odd.

"Sometimes Paul would make us do these really fruity songs. I mean, my god, 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' was so fruity.(...)But Paul's really writing for a 14-year-old audience now anyhow."

I get it. A George Harrison quote. And I couldn't agree more. It is nice to know that the other Beatles also thought this song sucked. And by "this song" I mean the original. Not everything they did turned to gold.
