[Burn]

Obviously, this film is a metaphor. A metaphor for what? I do not know.






Avatar material? Maybe...

 

[Steve]

Eek. Seriously.

 

[The Monkey]

lol, what was Paul thinking?

 

[Datrix]

First time I've ever heard that song.
Yeah, didn't really find it funny, didn't really find it not-funny, just in a state of "WTF?" mode.

 

[bvasgm]

Wow....just wow....I'm in a state of "WTF?" mode myself.

Seriously Ritz, what the hell?

Maybe, Id rather not look into it and just stick with "Its a funny song with a funny flash to it"

 

[Yuri]

I've always wanted to see a literal interpretation of that song.

Hahahahaha.

 

[The Monkey]

Wow....just wow....I'm in a state of "WTF?" mode myself.

Seriously Ritz, what the hell?

What does Ritz have to do with it?

 

[Steve]

What does Ritz have to do with it?

She kinda posted it...

 

[Yuri]

She kinda posted it...

Kind of.

What the hell does that mean, kind of? That doesn't make any sense. lol.

 

[bvasgm]

What does Ritz have to do with it?

What do you mean what does Ritz have to do with it? Ritz found it.

Anyway, the more I watch it, the less confused I am....It is sorta funny if you just don't think too hard about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell's_Silver_Hammer

"Maxwell's Silver Hammer" is my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does, as I was beginning to find out at that time in my life. I wanted something symbolic of that, so to me it was some fictitious character called Maxwell with a silver hammer. I don't know why it was silver, it just sounded better than Maxwell's hammer. It was needed for scanning. We still use that expression now when something unexpected happens.

 

[Steve]

Kind of.

Your FACE doesn't make any sense!

 

[Yuri]

Your FACE doesn't make any sense!

Good point

 

[The Monkey]

Australia doesn't make any sense.

 

[CyberPitz]

Kind of.

In a way.

 

[Jangle]

that was brilliant. It was wierd, but the song was great

 

[bvasgm]

Australia doesn't make any sense.

I'll tell you what doesn't make any sense...Koala bears being called koala 'bears'. That's what...Also..Australia being a country and a continent at the same time..

How can a coast be made out of gold? It doesn't make any sense.

It just resembles gold lol.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Gotta love the Beatles.

 

[Ames]

Things just don't make shens. Just go with the flow.

 

[ComradeBadger]

Love the song - the flash wasn't great though.. made me giggle a lil

 

[jondy]

Arr, flash anims are teh sex. And GIFs. :upstare:

 

[oldagerocker]

I thought that was great i've not heard that song before, very cool

 

[kirovman]

Funny song because I had an evil teacher called Maxwell.

Not a great flash though.

 

[Raziaar]

Incredibly morbid. Heh. Though, I enjoyed it. It was very dark.

And we wonder why kids are violent these days :sniper:

Yeah, those pesky kids, eh?

 

[DeusExMachina]

Those goddamn, dirty little snot nosed stupid illogical immature kids.

 

[JellyWorld]

Has anyone else considered the possibility that the silver hammer mentioned in the song was the hammer of a pistol, and not an actual hammer? Bang Bang?

 

[ComradeBadger]

How many pistols do you know where the hammer comes down on the head of the person you're firing at?

mmm good point didn't read the lyrics carefully.

 

[Qonfused]

Um, I quickly scrolled through all these posts and didn't find anyone stating this.

That song was made after a real person you did, infact, kill 3 people with a silver hammer. I have no idea why The Beatles would want a song after such a though-less thing, but they did. So. Yea.

Anyways, he was just released from prison, actually.

There's the story.

 

[Yuri]

Do you really expect to fool anybody with that Q-person? Lawl.

It probably was based on someone, though. A lot of songs are based on real serial killers.

I couldn't find any other sources to back it up though, and spinner.co.nz doesn't sound like a very reliable news source.

This is actually one of my favourite songs by the Beatles. In fact, I rather like Abbey Road as a whole, I think it's quite a good album.
