Apparently, this was recorded on a spanish channel so their is a spanish intro before and after the song. The entire song tho is in english, but it was the best we could find.


Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with her a test tube
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures Jo-o-o-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
Clang! Clang! 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 and unpleasant scene-e-e-ene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times "I must not be so-o-o-o
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
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
made sure that she was dead

P.C. thirty one said "we've caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures, oh, oh, oh, oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
The judge does not agree, and he tells them so-o-o-o
But, as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes form behind

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
came down upon her head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
made sure that he was dead
Silver hammer man

  • I love this vid even more becuz AC/DC was at the beginning I always liked it because of course its THE BEATLES!!!!!!!!!

  • 30 people are getting a lobotomy from my silver hammer. Just wait you wankers... Just wait... BANG BANG.

  • Paul's voice is perfect,shit! **

  • john has a reputation for being the more anti-authoritarian beatle, but here paul delivers a jaunty number about someone who kills authority figures (a teacher & a judge). with this paul song, there's not the same ambiguity over anti-authoritarian violence as we hear in john's line "when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out, in." here we've got an unabashed fantasy of anti-authoritarian destruction, as wrought by maxwell's (macca's?) silver hammer.
