Happiness Is A Warm Gun

[yevrahelyk]

4 people are cross dressing homosexual pacifists with spots on their lungs

[MrFoxtrot898]

if anyone has seen Trainspotting (i would hope you have) the name of the dealer they all buy off of and shoot up in his flat is called Mother Superior. obvious reference

[WWERawGurlSara08]

dont get me wrong, im 18, im a beatles fan, but this version sounds better than the beatles. it has more feeling to it.

[baristababe13]

The bass line kinda turns me on...

[AFlockOfPandas]

happiness is a warm, yes it is GUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

[RayTray38]

[c4r50n1]

@RayTray38 Yeah.

[NOHAYBANDAfilmprods]

THIS IS A SHIT BELLA E BUONA.

[bpanzullo1]

What is this crap? Not much better than the original, quite the opposite...

[Stackography]

Such a powerful song!!!!

So deep.. I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO IN-CREDITABLE!!!!

Blessings to all those battling addictions!!!!

[Nacyfangirl]

Yesterday I got three shots in my arms, and when I got home they started to hurt and itch and swell, so I slid onto my couch and said "I need a fix cause I'm goin down." xD

[FalseOracle617]

ya i like this better to but you know the Beatles will always be on top

[guilloki]

Que version tan espantosa !!

[nomadicsky]

I love this song, hate the bullshit rules about sharing the music industry has. I bought the soundtrack this wasn't even on it, because I didn't buy the "delux" edition.

[LegnaMcCartney]

When I sing "Hapiness is a warm gun'' I think in this cover :3 I love it!

[chilango7259]

not half bad...congratulations...

[alfredazo1]

I really like the first 50 seconds...then is just a song.

[GregariousGorilla]

what is the meaning of this song? please reply! thanks

[halloweenfan92]

@GregariousGorilla it was about john lennons heroin addiction i think

[JinsaChan]

@halloweenfan92 Yeah, it was.

[JDOGbeMySign123]

@halloweenfan92 No its not, Its about the war.

[heathermaria247]

@GregariousGorilla

The title came from an article in a gun magazine John Lennon saw. "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" was the slogan of the National Rifle Association. It struck Lennon as "fantastic, insane… a warm gun means you've just shot something."

A popular theory is that Lennon meant for this to be a drug metaphor for doing heroin:

-"Needing a fix"

-"Jump the gun" meaning to cook it up

-"When I hold you in my arm, nobody can do me no harm"

[geoff100]

@heathermaria247 thats interesting

[Vlad1831]

2:40

[peddyprincess]

reasons to play this song all over the house on repeat

hes hot

sounds good

beatles are awesome

[righteous09]

max sounded hot as fuck in this, no lies!

[demigrl21]

I actualy like this one better than the original

[TheUnsungArtist]

To describe this musical in three words... Would be impossible. There is just too much epic.

[micaiahms]

I was digging it until he got to "when I hold you". It was so underwhelming, in the original version, it was pretty much the climax of the song. Other than that, not bad.

[Goobs98]

Hands are working over time??

[Hecatonchrise]

I don't always listen to musicals, but when i do i listen to "Across the Universe"

[TheMasterSlasher]

This does not have the awesome feeling I get when I listen to the Beatles' version, it is mediocre at best.

[Buyinos]

@TheMasterSlasher Maybe its because they werent drug when they were singing this?

[TheMasterSlasher]

@Buyinos, maybe.

[JohnLennonIsLove16]

beatles are better

[thecunningchameleon]

personally i dont like covers played for any songs let alone Beatle's songs ahem *cough glee *cough but this is an amazing cover aong with all the others in Across the Universe which I truly respect for not destroying the original song while making it original.

[Aaragabaragaah]

i thought he was the best character in the movie :)

great to look at, and he's a great singer! AMAZING!

[jloveys]

yes it would be impossible for it to be bad

[man7771001]

@jloveys Well you have to agree its ok

[ZagaYT]

@michaelnorm John left the Beatles to end a War while Paul wanted to write normal songs with no political meaning and john hated it cause he thought that how can ppl just just let it go on

[Ofekk1212]

this is good, but the original is much better!!!!

[Floridaboy7777]

Does anyone know the chords for the fingerpicking? i can play the lead riffs but not the fingerpicking (yet) thanks!!

[jasmineoh10]

The Beatles Give Me Life (:

[plusanimafan]

@michaelnorm Why would I hate Yoko? There is no real evidence that she a thing to do with the bands breakup. And since neither of us knew her personally, we can't judge her for who he was.

[synthsations8]

2:30 - 2:45 = orgasm achieved

[miss88lauren]

selma hayek is so hot in this

[PsycOpaCHik420]

...the ending when he yells "gun" made me think what it would be like if dave grohl sang this song X)

[PsycOpaCHik420]

For some reason i want to hear Dave Grohl sing this song:]

[ILZEVIDEO]

sad..but true...

[perraolorosa]

this shit's awesome. wether high or not.

[PineTreeAndCone]

Gaaay!

[jsontip]

they should do a movie about Kurt kobain using him...

[ChemblieandCheese]

@jsontip that's what I said, but apparently they're making the new Kurt Cobain biopic using Robert Pattinson to play him >=(

[techkait09]

@ChemblieandCheese

i will kill them if they ruin kurt cobain via the usage of thats douche robert pattinson

[ChemblieandCheese]

@techkait09 Better get your knives sharpened, he's confirmed for the role.

[GoliathWarfare]

@ChemblieandCheese That's bull, it's just a rumor.

[ChemblieandCheese]

@GoliathWarfare

Oh dang. You're right.

I was just going off of what Pattinson said.

[GoliathWarfare]

@ChemblieandCheese Yeah I had to look it up to make sure. Otherwise, I would have been sharpening knives lol

[hellspawn003]

frekin love this song

[PGGMMLB]

When l was in the hospital recovering from surgeries. and was in extreme pain, but had an hour, or so, to go 'til my meds were due, this song was always playing on my lpod.

[thesamus100]

this is......beautifull

[ditzxb]

love it when he sings: "well don't you know that happiness, is a warm gun Momma"

It's great!

[PsychoBoar]

I need a fix cause i'm goin' down...

My favorite line.

[BreakingBfan2015]

I absoultely love this song! its so deep and reasonable... <3

[CACINOVEGO]

i need a fix cause im going down!

[heyjuliat]

Joe Anderson is the best singer of the movie.

[EliasCrowe]

the bass in this is awesome

[BassShavers22]

im going to uploading a bass cover of this this weekend

[windex06]

i actually like this version much better the original.

even though, the beatles will never be outdone :)

[kokocrs]

im glad im not the only one...lol

[itsjoshwiper]

Agreed!

[shoofly14th]

@windex06 yeah one of the best covers in the movie. i actually loved all joe anderson's (max) covers in ATU, he did a brilliant job in I want you (she's so heavy) =)

[wootlilvamp66]

AHAHHA! isnt it funny... it sounds like "bang bang chew chew" ,,,instead of "shoot shoot" i loveeeee it (:

[beatleslover536]

LOL agreed

[prettyodd333]

I love this cover, but it's so...anti-climatic.

[fobxolover123]

so cute

[lucky14lizard]

i absolutely LOVE his voice, the first time i saw the movie he reminded me of kurt kobain lolol<3

[Ferdie123]

haha yeah I know what you mean

[thetapemarshmallow]

@lucky14lizard Ok. 1.you spell it Kurt Cobain, 2. Listen to the beatles then listen to this shit amd listen to how much better the beatles are... and 3. this may have already been a year ago but i don't care you must know!

[PopaGreg]

@thetapemarshmallow your a dick

[ITheBeatlesFanI]

@thetapemarshmallow Ok. 1. I don't think you should be lecturing him on spelling, when you can't even spell.

2. He just said how he thinks Joe Anderson should play Kurt Cobain, and I think it's a great idea!

[BlakePearson248]

@lucky14lizard He was supposed to look like Kurt Cobain. Did you notice that JoJo looked like Jimi Hedrix or Jude looked like Paul McCartney?

[Omgseaturtles]

i like the beatlews version better but this is awesome to! the beatles are the best band of the universe!

[MrsEmCullen123]

I used to not like this song that much. But now I LOVE IT!!!

[Heeey333]

did you not like the beatle version and liked it because of this version?

[stonedsublime420]

they did amazing on this song

[iloveGuitar70]

shut up and listen to the awesome music lol

[infiteam]

what scene is this

[naruhinafangirl12]

when max is in the hospital recovering

[qutro95]

fuck YOU! its a great movie, and its great music. none of the covers ( exept mabye Hold me tight) was better then the originals. I think lennon would be proud to see this movie.. great movie, with even better music.. gotta love that !

[ih8broccoli]

1st everyone is entitled to their opinion

2nd nothing beats the origionals

[DietBroccoli]

I Take Great Offense To Your Name, Sir!

XD

What a coincidence.

[DietBroccoli]

Or Ma'am perhaps.

[ih8broccoli]

duh! IMA GIRL! LOL THATS SO COOL ....

-_-BUT u do realize missour that this means WAR!(LOL XD)

[DietBroccoli]

Yes... I'm sorry to say that I do.

Prepare to die, Madam.

*swings his ban hammer at you*

[ih8broccoli]

'gasp' ud hit a lady! Misour im shocked! TOO BAD U MISSED MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

(Starts to stab you w/a sword)

[DietBroccoli]

I would never hit a lady! Lucky for me, you are no such beast!!

*reveals that he has a stab proof vest on* Prepare to die, witch! *back flips away and throws exploding shuriken at you*

[fang1f1]

WTF IS WRONG WIT YOU??

[ih8broccoli]

(dogdes w/a super cool defense sheild) infadale how dare show such discourtousy! i am to a lady! and deserve to b treated like one(takes out a wand and turns you into a chicken) muahahahahahahahaahahahhaahaha­haha!!!thats what happens mannerless health nut!!! ; )

[DietBroccoli]

*Summons the army of deadly chickens from Zelda: Ocarina of Time to attack you and then de-polymorphs self* "Health Nut?"

*While you're distracted by the chickens, jumps into a bush that has the hatch to his underground bomb shelter/weapons system. Suddenly you see a heavy machine gun turret rise from the shrubbery and are under intense fire*

Say Good Day To My Rather Large Acquaintance!

[ih8broccoli]

'ahh! but im wearing my weapon proof costume so no machine may harm me so ha! ive had my fun but now take this!' shoots amazazing powerful sonic crocno blast which makes all your chickens die (which means no more eggs in th kakurico village and now they will hate u)then next after i found u i destroy ur sheild/weapons system w/the same awesome power leaving u defenseless but right when im bout 2 give th final blow i realize this is kinda stupid so i ask 4 a truce

[kevinaugustin]

true but the original gets better in some cases like this one

[ih8broccoli]

kevinaugustin

yeah i guess but im just saying the origional is usually the best form, it could be improved but theres always something about the origional that is btr fo ex.maryln manroe made a rock version of 'This Is Halloween' its really good but th origional will always top it bcuz it IS the origional. it got improved but the first is always the best... well again we all have our opinions, this is just mine

[kevinaugustin]

good point :D

[ih8broccoli]

: )

[oaknutter16]

Marylin Munroe? U mean Marilyn Manson?

[ih8broccoli]

sorry oops, i didnt kno where my mind was yes i meant marilyn mansion lol

[MrsEmCullen123]

On a random note: I love Marilyn Manson hehehe.

[LeeanneoftheOpera]

omg i cant wait for his alice in wonderland! have you heard?

[MrsEmCullen123]

No what?!

[LeeanneoftheOpera]

sorry i only brought it up cus they mentioned marilyn manson, but yea hes directing...or producing a new alice and wonderland! johnny depps gonna be the mad hadder and Helena Bonham Carter is gonna be the red queen. it doesnt come out till next year but it look soooooo good

[ForeverTurquoise]

I'm kind of confused....

Tim Burton is directing that.

I'm pretty sure that Manson has nothing to do with it, of course I could be wrong but I'm fairly certain,

[LeeanneoftheOpera]

well maybe he is. ijust know marilyn manson has SOMETHING to do with it. haha

me and my friend looked up this movie like last summer and their like produced by marilyn manson. thats why its gonna be so ..creepy. haha him+tim burton=perfect movie

[SEONinja]

Manson has nothing to do with Tim Burtons Alice In Wonderland however he will play the author Lewis Carroll in the film Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll

[ankoku09]

No, Depp is the Mad Hatter and Stephan Fry is playing the Cheshire Cat.

[Alien8990]

I don't like him nor hate him, but I do like writing positive things about other people that are completely irrelevant to the video:)

R.I.P. Billy Mays:)

[ih8broccoli]

hes awesome

[Chezfreak94]

Love the song, but whats with the 'Bamm bamm, shoo shoo' ??

[dorotttka]

it´s bang bang shoot shoot ...

[Chezfreak94]

Oh! Thanks. ^.^ Much obliged!

[morky14]

lol, your first comment makes me chuckle, cheers!

[fang1f1]

i belive its bam bam shoot you

[CrazyKittyKat101]

bam bam shoot shoot

[Keena77]

i love this song!!!!!!!!

[babas45]

I like this version but i think nothing can beat the original. It just has an edge to it. U know

[accompanymetothesea]

i need a fix, cause i'm going down

[annieily2]

This song is great.

enough said.

[Lynn15]

love it!

[imaginarylines]

oh my god.

my favorite song covered by joe.

:)

[dimi546]

Isn't Salma Hayek the Shoot Shoot/Kiss Kiss (I dont know which) Bang Bang Nurses?

[Dntexerville]

Yes it is salma Hayek

[ETgins]

the beginning is really sad, but then it makes you feel like getting up and scream "Mother Superior Jump the Gun!" with it!!!

Who said those artists didn't put their emotions into these songs?

[ETgins]

Mother Superior Jump the Gun!!

really good song, too bad they were probably high while they wrote it...

[dimi546]

I thought it was "Brother Superior, Jump the gun!"

i need a fix cause im goin down...

[TheShadowyPhantom]

Sorry to contradict you, but it's "Mother Superior". You can hear a clearly defined "ma" at the beginning of one of the "Mother Superior"s. Besides, there's a Mother Superior, but no Brother Superior.

[SEONinja]

Why too bad? The Beatles wrote their best music when they were on drugs. Did you really want to listen to songs like "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" for 30 years. Music is better on drugs although it might not be good for the musicians.

[warisbad4children]

true..music for me is a drug and im addicted to the beatles music

[revolutionaryday]

god... joe andersons voice. gahh. this is my favorite cover of all time.

[adinmpj]

And remember, Max went to Vietnam, not because he volunteered, but because he was drafted. He resisted, but eventually adapted to the Army mindset of the time--"Happiness is a warm gun" means the gun's been used to kill and wound the Vietnamese we were fighting. "I need a fix"--a LOT of American GIs became addicts while in Vietnam.

[achxc08]

"happiness is a warm gun." what does that mean exactly??

[emeraldhearts5698]

John Lennon saw some ad in the newspaper for guns, and he decided to make fun of it, or that's what he said in the album interview. ^_~

[TheShadowyPhantom]

It's about the addiction to drugs that the soldiers in Vietnam got, *and* the title refers to a gun being warm due to recent shooting. So, it's about drugs and violence.

[spookshowlady]

Suicide.

[morky14]

spookshowlady is right, that is one definition of it, but i dont think thats the idea they were using, tough call because he's in the hospital he's having such a dreadful time, maybe he wanted to kill himself, i dunno, i think its just like everyone else said tho, just dont be so negative about spookshowlady's coment; if youre sad and wanna kill yourself to make yourself happy, then after you kill yourself the gun would be warm. its actually a much more simple answer than the other one

[frubalover10]

~I really like song~

[ssssara8900]

i really like this song

i just dont get it lol

[inuyashaturd]

[inuyashaturd]

It Says Live sing Dance Bitch

[xashleyxisxhardcorex]

personally speaking, my favorite song from the movie. I normally hate any attempt at a beatles cover but this really did the song justice.

[AzumangaDaioh1fan]

I love this song and Joe Anderson!

[xxl1lchl03xx]

soooo cool mate. and max, wohoooo, he is sooo sexy mate.

[acro11]

i love dis song joe anderson is sooo cute and a great singer, i can't believe he wasn't a singer b4 da movie

[iloveravenrock]

I like his voice. It's very warm and raw. It contrasts nicely with Jim/Jude's voice.

[iam1smartchick]

What is the name of the song when Max goes to war?

[katyburg]

I want you (She's so heavy)

[pencilgr]

that is my fav part of the movie. The dancing wasn't cheesy and i love the uncle sam. To all you people who watch the movie on some sort of drug i really would not to be you. trippy.

[Luleelurah93]

The Uncle Sam was not in this scene.

That was I Want You.

[inuyashaturd]

She So Heavy

[gothchick191919]

max looks better with no mustash

[greeneyesthepirate]

i actually liked him with the mustache- he was pretty yummy either way =]]

[gothchick191919]

ya i hav 2 agree with that! ;)
