The original working title of the song was "Happiness Is a Warm Gun in Your Hand," which was inspired by a magazine containing the phrase, which in turn parodied "Happiness Is a Warm Puppy," a Peanuts book written and illustrated by Charles Schulz in 1962...
love it...

A real favorite of mine by the lads.
...from an album that is not my favorite.
...But it seems that alot of folks would turn this album into their favorite Beatles album by paring it down to a single disc LP (of course, there would be about as many versions as there are Beatles fans).
...But then, that would leave a disc's worth of material homeless!
...But then again, that would leave more for the compilations of unreleased stuff to include (or worse yet, would have expanded Specter's "Let it Be" into two releases).
Thank you, George Martin, for saving this album from itself.
