Didn't they START with "Mary Had A Little Lamb"?

Oh Paul, I love him. HIs comment is hilarious. It is admittedly one of two lesser tracks on Abbey Road (no points for guessing the other) but I'll forgive him everything for Side Two.

"Abbey Road" had so many well-this-is-different songs from the Beatles, i can indulge Maxwell

An unusual post from one of Paul's great defenders. You've turned me around on (much of) Paul's music, and now this. 😜

I don't hate "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." I can't say the same for "Ob La Di Ob La Da."

“Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” is one of my least favorite Beatles songs. Make my skin crawl. “Till There Was You” anyone?

Paul does have his twee moments. The only Beatle that could ever be compared to Donovan in that regard (and yes, I like some Donovan).

Wonder what Charles Manson's take on this song was?

I genuinely like "Till There Was You." It's a great Paul vocal, and much better than "A Taste of Honey" on the album before it. THAT song makes my skin crawl.

For some, our first introduction to “Maxwell’s Silver Hammer” was this - thank you, Paul :)
